Or, while I'm at it, for the existing ones? Don't worry about mentioning something I may already have thought of; confirmation and redundancy is better than silence and deficiency.
Seems like questions about animated lands keep popping up. Can they attack the turn they come into play? Do they have summoning sickness whenever they're animated? Will damage destroy them?

I'm particularly puzzled about the last one. Lands and creatures both hit the graveyard at such times, why would someone think a land-creature wouldn't? As near as I can tell, these people must be thinking of the land and the creature as separate entities in some respect, but I don't know what gives them that impression. But anyway, it's common, obviously does confuse people even if the mechanics by which it does so elude me, and should probably be addressed somehow.

Okay, so here's what the full layout will be, I think. Anything you think needs to be changed, just tell me. Things in bold are section headers; things in plain text will have entries; some things may be duplicated in the Table of Contents; the link will just go to the one entry for both instances. - Basic RQ&A Info
- Most Frequently Asked (links to the most commonly-asked things, which technically reside in other sections)
- Cards
- Types of cards
- Artifacts
- Creatures
- Lands
- Planeswalkers
- Tribals
- Auras
- Equipment
- Legendary
- Split Cards
- Properties of cards
- Spells
- Playing
- Resolving
- Countering
- The Stack/Priority
- Targets and Targeting
- Abilities
- Playing
- Resolving
- Countering
- The Stack/Priority
- Targets and Targeting
- General Abilities questions
- Activated Abilities
- Triggered Abilities
- Mana Abilities
- Combat
- Attacking
- Blocking
- Combat Damage
- Play Issues
- Copying
- Counters
- Damage
- Indestructibility
- Mana
- Sacrificing
- SBEs
- Summoning Sickness
- Tapping/Untapping (Status?)
- Layer System
- Legend Rule
- Stack/Priority
- Tokens
- Turns/Turn Structure
- Tournament Info
- B&R
- Tournament Rules
- Judge Certification
- Miscellaneous
And so people say to me, "How do I know if a word is real?" You know, anyone who's read a children's book knows that love makes things real. If you love a word, use it! That makes it real. Being in the dictionary is an artificial distinction; it doesn't make the word any more real than any other word. If you love a word, it becomes real.

Think Discarding deserves a section? It doesn't come up as often as sacrificing, but occasionally someone thinks they can discard "just because."
Not sure that one question warrants a section, however.

I think those also show up from time to time for animated artifacts. Perhaps there could be an entry for animated permanents and/or permanents with two or more types.
No, I am not a judge. That's why I like to quote sources such as the rules that trump judges.

Maybe I missed it - are you going to still have the "keyword" and "specific card" sections?

Oh, yes, of course. I didn't include those in that layout because they're separate documents, but they'll be listed in the ToC just like they are now.

We have seen this question come up often enough that warrants an entry about Soulbright Flamekin  . Also, applies to Ashling the Pilgrim  and Inner-Flame Igniter  . Q: If I keep playing the ability after I get the bonus effect from the third resolution, does the bonus effect keep happening? A: No. The ability will only resolve a third time once a turn. After that, the ability will be resolving for the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, etc. The design team is not stupid enough to produce a one-card infinite Mana combo.

One question that I've seen come up a lot is: I play a creature [for its evoke cost][that says Champion an X, with no X in play]. Can I sacrifice it before the sacrifice triggered ability resolves? (I'm pretty sure that Brion Stoutarm  is the most common card that they want to sacrifice the creature to.) It's been answered several times, with some variation on "Yes, you can respond to triggered abilities" as the answer. (Perhaps this would be a good example to have in the section on triggered abilities.)

How about just adding it to the entry for Champion?
