I assume "help my code isn't working"/troubleshooting posts - which make up much of SO questions - are allowed. However from reading the FAQ, it's not obvious to me that they are. The "on topic" bullet point that most closely approaches this is "questions about database design, programming, or access through SQL (SQL programming)", but it's not clear to me that "questions about programming" includes "troubleshooting code". If it is included then maybe it should have its own bullet point (near the top) as presumably that's how you will get more participation.

Are code troubleshooting posts allowed?
