This is rare to see in Meta, but in Ask Ubuntu itself -- I'm sure I am definitely not the only one who's fed up with seeing short summaries in the question box. *If you're asking a question, at least **ask** it!*

If you are not too sure what I'm on about, here are a few pictures:

![first lot][1]

**Not one of these is a *real* question!**

Taking the two first and last questions -- they can be easily changed into real questions.

> 'Wubi installer error http error 404' becomes:  
> **How can I resolve HTML 404 error?** (and including `wubi.exe` in the description)  


> 'less/pager does not work' becomes:  
> **Why does my pager not work?** (and adding more details, perhaps)  


> 'libvpx not getting installed in ubuntu 12.04' becomes:  
> **How can I install the `libvpx` package successfully?**  


> 'Damaged external NTFS hard disk' becomes:  
> **How can I repair a damaged NTFS hard disk?** (with more details, possibly).


*It also mentioned in [Jorge Castro's video tutorial on making a high-quality question](http://blip.tv/jorge-castro/how-to-ask-good-questionson-askubuntu-com-4927281), but honestly - I wonder how many new users have even **heard8** of Jorge? Or let alone the FAQ?*

I'm probably not in the position to point out any other solutions other than editing frequently and constantly reminding people to make the title into a question, but shouldn't it be more explicit when writing a question, or explicitly noted in the FAQ?

I thought I would open it for discussion anyway. I'd like to hear some suggestions and opinions nevertheless.
