There are two FAQ links in the wiki:
1. https://wiki.freecadweb.org/FAQ/en
2. https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Frequently_asked_questions

Both have almost the same contents but the 1st one more translated so in my opinion that link should be replaced with the broken link.

And I noticed that all the wiki links in the README use redirects from www.freecad.org/wiki/ -> wiki.freecad.org, is that intentional or just some legacy stuff?

And can this issue be assigned to me, I want to start with debugging in FreeCAD. :)
