There are a variety of ways to accomplish things in Discourse.

For example Tags can be used in a category to organize topics. As mentioned Subcategories can also be quite handy.

Ie

> [@lemonade](#):
>
> Or would it be better to have Rules and FAQ inside each game category?
> 
> - **General**
> - **Game1**
> - Rules
> - FAQ
> 
> - **Game2**
> - Rules
> - FAQ

In the Above model

**Game1**  
Main area use Tags for game play/content(not sure nature of gaming)  
Subcategory

- **Rules & Faq Wiki**. (Game staff group)
- **Game1 Help** - Special Category for questions

If Self hosted plugins like Solved can be used in the Help Category. Have topics here always start on first post. Op can mark a reply as the solution which uses a special quote in first post…so use category setting to always default to first post when a topic is viewed.
