discord

token - sure
snowflake - this is asked once a month if that, no
embed - people have only been asking this because of blockquotes, no
administrator role - what, no?
link - ???
sharding - sure, not in this section
rich presence - probably warrants more of a 'bot only' doc than an FAQ entry

python

version - sure, not in this section
decorators - there are python docs for this, no
persistency - unsure

general

interact message - "how do i get a sent message" is probably more suitable, even so, i don't like this
delete message - there is a doc for this. if you're pointing toward the http method, absolutely not
hackban - bleh. not asked often at all but whatever
send dm - no
on_reaction_add - shouldn't require an FAQ entry, there is a warning on the doc
blank values - no
wait_for multiple - iunno
invite tracker - not asked often at all
search - pretty sure lambda has something for this

commands ext

recommended - pretty sure this is mentioned in the doc but sure
botclient - i'd like to think this doesn't require an FAQ entry, no
global data - same as above but sure
check errors - no
emojiconverter - iunno
cogs - there's a doc for this, no
multiple files - should be explained in the ext doc if it isn't already
disable command - there's a doc for this, no
built-in global checks - a more general global checks entry is more suitable here
