Several of these (like strikeout and highlight) can be very useful, especially to flag important updates to wikis and other commonly used resources.

I've looked and am totally unable to find any link to this now. Given that the menu system allows me to do such not-useful things as review my recent reported-posts history, is there some reason not to include this much more informative and generally useful FAQ? Or am I just overlooking it?

For the record, somebody in FT mgmt (and/or IB) must think the FAQ has its uses and needs to be kept current, because the list of BB codes includes recent enhancements such as wikifrom/wikito.
