What topics can I ask about here?

I did not find a webpage that explains what's on-topic here (although I'm not hugely familiar with the site).

Question: What topics can I ask about here?

It seems plausible that what's on-topic at Writing.SE differs from what's on-topic here. Moreover, since this site endeavours to be independent of Stack Exchange, it's probably worth whipping up an independent post or webpage that states what is and isn't on-topic.

One for you and yours, @MonicaCellio :)

Independent, yes, but not necessarily different. I see no reason why the on-topic list over at Writing SE shouldn't apply to us as well. It's certainly a good place to start, since most of us are already familiar with it. We can adapt it in our own help section (once that gets created) and change it as we feel needed.

Help pages are already available, @ThomasMyron - any moderator can create them.

For now, the same scope guidelines we used on SE apply. As we move forward, and particularly when we move onto the Codidact platform which will give us some new capabilities, we can refine. I intend to create some help topics but won't be able to do so before the end of Shabbat, sorry.
