FAQ denotes a content type built around individual question and answer pairs rather than continuous prose. Each entry stands on its own and can be read independently of the rest. The order follows how often a question comes up, not a narrative sequence.
When the type applies
The type applies where a topic generates recurring, clearly bounded questions, for example about cost, requirements, or technical detail. Every answer stays short and specific, without assuming context from an earlier section, so a single entry still makes sense on its own.
Across the network, FAQ marks entries that sit next to longer formats such as guides or how-tos. A reader who wants one specific question resolved reaches the answer directly, without working through a full article to get there.
