I have turned this on by default for the #Technical category, but it can be enabled in any topic (see above link to Discourse Meta).

EDIT: I have turned it off again for the technical category by default. I had feedback that this was confusing for users, as it has quite a different format. Note that any post can utilise this functionality, but rolling out by default might need to be re-thought. One possibility is to have a dedicated Q&A sub-category of technical for this.
