I do agree that attaching an official answer and then locking the thread should become standard practice. Those 'year old threads' are not going to get Frequently Asked Question answers any time soon, so I doubt we have to worry about thread-necromancy all that much. It isn't something that will become standard practice unless a handful of dedicated posters undertake the task themselves, it is not the job of the administrators here to patrol threads that might be a few months old, and a dozen pages back, just to keep them all updated... but someone cared enough for this one, for some reason....

So what really is the harm of encouraging people to do so for 8th edition and forward?
I'm not going to, I barely remember the Frequently Asked Questions exist myself....

Then the FAQ post should have been presented with a request to lock it. I believe an FAQ wasn't around at the time the thread was dropped. Can we drop it now?
