Are we supposed to flag community-faq-proposed questions?

Question

I recently marked the popular question How should I choose my DNS? as community-faq-proposed. And according to the wiki

Community FAQ questions should be clear, concise, and understandable. If a question could make a viable Community FAQ entry, tag it with community-faq-proposed. Once the question has suitable answers which meet these guidelines, it can be tagged by a moderator or user experienced with the subject as community-faq.

(Emphisis mine)

So I assumed that it ment that I should flag for moderator since only a moderator can move it from proposed to actual Community-FAQ However this is the response that I got

I propose to make this question a Community FAQ question. It is very general, has good answers, and Max's answer has good a discussion about the potential drawbacks of using a alternative DNS provider. – 11 hours ago

declined - flags should only be used to make moderators aware of content that requires their intervention

But it does require their intervention, that is how a question moves from proposed to accepted. I suggest that if flagging the tag is the improper procedure that the wiki be edited to make the instructions more clear.

Answer 1

I agree the tag entry could be made more clear. There is no actual technological restriction on the tag - anyone can use it, we just restrict it by convention.

If you think a post should be a community-faq, then you could bring it up for discussion in our chat room. If several experienced users seem to agree, then go ahead and retag it.

The actual retagging doesn't need to be done by a moderator. We just ask that there is a community consensus before a question is given this tag.
