The 'database' is in the head of the person writing the answer - who is
also likely to be the same person who just collated the relevant
information into the wiki or recently read it there. Just the same way
things work now except that there would be less repetition and once a
pattern of showing useful info in the wiki emerged, people would start
to look there first.
or, in other words, another 'faq'.
so what you are saying is that this is not enough?

Those are useful if you are curious about _why_ fedora doesn't play your
multi-media files, run your java apps, or work with hardware that needs
vendor-provided drivers. If you are interested in actually fixing these
things you have to look elsewhere.
if you believe that, then i would suggest that you contact rahul sundaram,
as he is maintainer of 'wiki/faq'. i am sure that he would be interested in
what you have to say, and more than happy to help you.
Rahul is always gentlemanly enough to listen politely to other points of
view, then he always responds - as he must - with the policy line.
for 'fedora-list', there is https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/
one thing that may be lacking is a way to search archives. if there
is a search engine to do this, i have not found it.
also, if one wants to check other mail list archives;
https://www.redhat.com/archives/[desired-list]/, replacing [desired-list]
with name of list archive to see
It is easy enough to obtain a list of thousands of references to any
particular topic - but sorting out the correct/relevant answers is the
hard part, especially when the right answer changes over time.
