Hi, I’m new to Discourse and I’m just looking for basic documentation about features. Searching these forums so far hasn’t yielded the kind of information I’m looking for. I particularly want to know about what badges, groups, and trust levels are intended for, and what functionality options they carry. Sorry if this is a duplicate.

Badges are there to encourage experimenting with features and reward great content. They are a substitute for the user manual.
Groups are 100% about security, if you need a particular group of users to see content that nobody else can see, you start with a group. Then you assign the group to a category.
There is a trust level explanation topic in the faq category here, but in general, trust level lets users have more community cleanup and moderation powers as they spend more time on the site.

Jeff,
Thanks for the info! Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say badges are a substitute for the user manual? That’s the only part I’m not sure I understand.

Here’s an example:

Badges give you a set of objectives that you can achieve in your own order, on your own terms, and you “explore” the product to get there.
This is great information. Thanks again!

从 howto 类别开始，特别是包含一些基础用户和管理员指南的 #howto:faq 子类别。

太棒了！能否在 https://docs.discourse.org 中添加这些页面的链接？它们非常难以找到，而且其 URI 令人费解。
我无法代表 discourse.org 发言，但我觉得并非如此，因为 https://docs.discourse.org 是面向开发者的 Discourse API 文档。那些链接针对的是其他兴趣领域。
顺便提一下，使用那些链接却不提供有用的标签，这种行为相当不友好。
文档确实有待改进，但作为一款不断更新的开源产品，这是一项庞大的工作。
如果你查看 howto 分类，就会发现其中涵盖了多样化的兴趣点，无论如何都无法在一篇文档中全部涵盖：
- #howto:devs
- #howto:sysadmin
- #howto:admins
- #howto:cmgrs（社区管理者）
- #howto:faq、#howto:tips-and-tricks（面向所有人）
此外，话题之间存在大量交叉，这在影响用户体验的其他分类中也非常明显：
- #theme
- #plugin
