-### Add a merchant
-
-If you want to add a merchant you should first open an issue using the ['New Merchant' template](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/issues/new?assignees=&labels=%F0%9F%8F%AA+merchant:+removal%2C+%F0%9F%94%8D+Needs+investigation&template=new-merchant.md&title=Remove+%3CNAME_OF_THE_MECHANT%3E+from+the+list+of+merchants). Fill upp all sections and wait for somebody to investigate it.
-
-After the issue has been accepted, the merchant can be added to the page.
-
-To add a merchant (after it has been approved) follow these steps:
-
-Navigate to the `/_data/` folder and open `merchants.yml`. You will notice a list separated by hyphenated `-category` tags.
-
-Find the category that best describes your business/service and copy the code below, making sure you are keeping the alphabetic order consistent:
-
-```
-- name:
- url:
-```
-
-and paste it in the correct category under the `merchants:` section. Make sure to respect the alphabetical order of the entries.
-
-Fill in the data as follows:
-
-- `name:` The name of the business/service.
-- `url:` The external url of the business/service. This link must have http:// (or https://) at the beginning if it is an external link.
-
-Make sure the indentation is EXACTLY the same as the other proposals in the area. If it's not the jekyll build WILL fail.

## How to add a question to the FAQ
The structure of the FAQ is a bit more complex than it used to be and contains anchors, variables and a TOC. A step by step guide would be too complex to follow. A basic knowledge of HTML is necessary to edit the page. If you wish to add a new FAQ please open an issue in the repository or/and contact the Website workgroup.
