✨ Feature Description

Add a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section to the JalWiki website, accessible via the top navigation bar. The FAQ page will provide clear answers to common questions related to the platform, water conservation tools, and user interaction.

🎯 Problem Statement

Currently, the JalWiki website does not include an FAQ section. As a platform focused on water conservation and community-driven knowledge sharing, the absence of quick, accessible help leads to:

Difficulty for new users in understanding the platform's purpose and features.
Increased dependency on support or external documentation.
Frustration due to lack of immediate solutions for common user concerns.

💡 Proposed Solution

  1. Add "FAQ" link to the top navigation bar:
    Update the current navbar to include the new item:

Home | Techniques | WaterAI | Gov & NGO | Forums | About | [FAQ] | Sign In

  1. Create a dedicated FAQ page (/faq) with a user-friendly layout, containing a list of common questions and answers.

  2. Initial FAQ Questions (sample):

What is JalWiki?
How do I contribute to JalWiki?
Is JalWiki free to use?
Can I use JalWiki’s data in my own projects?
How do I contact the team for support?
