Please specify which Qubes version you are using when you post

Now there are increasing numbers of people using 4rc2, it would be
really helpful if you specify WHICH version you are using when you post
to the list, particularly if you have a problem..
Sometimes it's obvious from the context, sometimes not, and the
differences between 3.2 and 4 make it difficult to help if you don't say.

To that end, perhaps allow the community to help update the guides, supervised by someone from the Qubes staff before updated to the http://www.qubes-os.org/doc page? In order to get more done faster. Perhaps make a double guide list, one for 3.2. and another for 4.0, until 4 is mainstream, and then later on delete or archive the 3.2 guide list.

It could be a thread like this where people can throw in input where guides fall short going from 3.2 to 4, or other reasons for being outdated.

This would also hopefully reduce the amount of questions being asked if the answers are available.

https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/backup-restore/ for example is hopelessly outdated for Qubes 4 now, and looks like it needs an almost complete rewrite to the terminal commands instead of the graphical Qubes Manager that is now no more. And it's a guide many users may want when going to Qubes 4, especially among those who are not savy with the terminal, some Linux users are even outright scared of the terminal, its possible some among Qubes users also are put off by the terminal. Essentially, this might be one of the critical guides to get updated quickly.

While in contrast other guides, like https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/fedora-minimal/ only need a copy of the entire post, and then edit 25 to 26 in the entire post. Minor less relevant stuff, but easy to point out and fix.

I mean, things like these the community could help with. It could also be extended to help write guides that no one has written yet, potentially further helping reducing questions asked.
