- 1. I like what Stephen said and concur: divide into multiple questions please, careful with the licenses.
- 2. If you dislike that, push here for "Articles". There was an idea to have longer pieces of text, articles, which, I think, might be a better fit for the canonical in it's current form. I lean towards 1, as I think articles aren't yet done.
- 3. I distrust SO-the-company. Therefore (and due to SEO) I'd say deletion works better. In light of lack of particular enthusiasm within Meta discussion, I'd say it should go through without much problems. Link to Codidact will probably be removed. Or worse, misconstrued and used as an argument against, in mod-strike negotiations. I hope that's NOT the case, but again, my trust in SO-the-company is low.

- I'd like for them to appear organically, making yours an exception rather than the rule.
- I'd like them to be linked to relevant tags. So, when I post a question, tag-wiki is checked and headers within are used as a suggestion box (with some slight matching). So I won't ask question if there's something there already.
- I'd like for a question which was well-received throughout some time to earn the place among the canonical. So, if a question about Git does reach certain threshold over certain time, we add it (or it's semi-automatically added, with mods having the option to postpone or outright veto it).
