There's one problem with this: The Tour is designed for completely new users. Yes, users from other sites can also read it, but it's mainly to tell completely new users how the Stack Exchange model works. It tells them:
- how to vote
- what tags are
- what badges are
- how answers are shown
- a brief section on what should be asked/what shouldn't
I say brief, because what you want is on the /help/on-topic part of every site. You can access that with the url http://site.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic, or just go to the help center (eg. MSE) with the URL http://site.stackexchange.com/help.
Examples:
Super User is for computer enthusiasts and power users. If you have a question about …
- computer hardware,
- computer software, or
- personal and home computer networking
and it is not about …
- programming and software development,
- video games or consoles,
- websites or web services like Facebook, Twitter, and WordPress,
- electronic devices, media players, cell phones or smart phones, except insofar as they interface with your computer,
- issues specific to corporate IT support and networks,
- asking for a product, service or learning material recommendation,
… then you’re in the right place to ask your question!
Stack Overflow is for professional and enthusiast programmers, people who write code because they love it. We feel the best Stack Overflow questions have a bit of source code in them, but if your question generally covers…
- a specific programming problem, or
- a software algorithm, or
- software tools commonly used by programmers; and is
- a practical, answerable problem that is unique to software development … then you’re in the right place to ask your question!
Those are examples of the beginning of the page - there's more in-depth detail and guidance on those pages.
So, basically before you post a new question on a site, go to the help/on-topic part of the site! And not Tour :)
