• Refer to existing answers: Link an already answered question if applicable.

Guidelines for Writing Clear Answers

When answering questions, follow these guidelines to ensure your answers are clear and actionable:

• Be specific: Try to pinpoint what exact information you need to effectively answer the question. General requests such as "Please share more details" are not very helpful.
• Maintain respect: Ensure your communication is always polite and contextual. When asking for more information, it's better to explain why it's needed so that the person asking understands the relevance.
• Completeness: Make sure to provide a detailed answer that includes all relevant information, such as code snippets, screenshots, and examples. This practice helps others understand your answer and apply it to their use case.
