What I always have, is a Discourse Category. Here I store How to guides, links to official guides, and provide a point for users to provide feedback on the forum or ask for help etc.

Additionally, I have a “Best Practices” Topic, which includes things like how to ask a good question, based on the stack overflow rules.
