Unhelpfully short titles

[Andrew Neil]

The "whole question in the title" problem seems to have largely gone away, but now we get the opposite - unhelpfully short titles!

Only today:

So perhaps the 'Posting Tips' need an update ?

Hello @Andrew Neil , 

Thanks for brining this up! Indeed, we need a better balance between too long & too short question titles.

This question is on my radar and I will share the updated guidelines once ready. 

Greetings,
Lina

The guidelines currently appear in several  places:

1. About > Community Guidelines > How To Post:
   https://community.st.com/t5/community-guidelines/how-to-post/ta-p/575251
   
   
2. About > Community Guidelines > Getting faster and better answers in the community:
   https://community.st.com/t5/community-guidelines/getting-faster-and-better-answers-in-the-community/ta-p/575240
   
3. About > Community Guidelines > How to write your question to maximize your chances to find a solution?
   https://community.st.com/t5/community-guidelines/how-to-write-your-question-to-maximize-your-chances-to-find-a/ta-p/575228
   
4. On the Community 'Home' page > Ready to get started? > Tips on posting:
   https://community.st.com/t5/community-guidelines/how-to-write-your-question-to-maximize-your-chances-to-find-a/ta-p/575228
   (same as #3 above)

Perhaps these could be rationalised?

Is it worth having a 'How To Post' pinned post at the top of each section?

The problem is that people focused on posting and fixing something NOW, are not going to read any of this material. Not sure we can fix that or falling IQ levels

Too many guidelines or them being too long, probably not the ultimate solution here.

Best, or most efficient way, in the near term is to edit and fix those titles/summaries that are useless/problematic.

Longer term we need to simplify the process or moving or tagging, because at the moment that seems overly cumbersome.
