Not sure how this should be processed, but I moved the thread for now just to declutter the original topic.
The 2026 Feb 3 announcement Renaming FAQ to Guidelines currently says the change is available if you simply “opt in.” It could use an update noting that self-hosters must enable the hidden site setting rename_faq_to_guidelines – and a link to Using Hidden Site Settings.
There are at least a few docs & related topics that now have some outdated information. I’ve found these – there may be more:
