What's this?

The idea is that the Wikidot Documentation will link back to these community pages using a link similar to this (in the live template):
[*http://community.wikidot.com/helpon:%%name%% Get help on %%title%%]

Sorry, but I still don't understand. I find Wikidot Documentation very well organized, easy to navigate around and to find what you need, so I don't understand why would Documentation link to "these community pages". Also, I don't understand to what pages you refer when you say "these Community pages".
EDIT:OK, now I understand. But, there is nothing on those pages. And with the Community forum functioning so well, I don't understand what is the purpose of opening a new category for help… Wouldn't it be easier to tag/list forum threads on respective subjects?

Unless we move to a page-per-thread based forum, there is no way to tag forum threads.
The aim is to prevent people from asking for help on the documentation pages, and to direct them to the Community wiki instead to ask for help.

This would be a good solution, but then, I suppose, the forum would be started from the beginning, and there is no way to pass existing threads to a new forum…

But isn't it easier to create a link to Community forum in a live template page of all Documentation pages? Something like:
If you have any questions, please ask them in our Community Forum. There you can get the best solution to your doubt or any problem you might have with this item.
Anyway, thanks for the explanation.
