Question about a task in a CTF challenge gives the write-up to the challenge [duplicate]

I'm currently on my way of going through the whole picoCTF Gym tasks. While doing them, I more often than not go to Stack Overflow for help on a certain problem, not the whole challenge itself.

So recently, while doing a challenge, I've had a question about how to extract data packets from Wireshark and I found this: How do I extract the TCP data packet from Wireshark?

It was correct and worked, but the problem I have with this question or this way of asking questions, is it completely reveals what to do in that challenge, so someone searching for this might accidentally find a write-up of the whole challenge like it is there.

This wouldn't be a problem if all the information was necessary, but I find that most of the content in the question isn't relevant to finding an answer to that question.

So here I am asking myself if there is anything we as a community can do or with a rule, so that this doesn't happen, so I don't accidentally find a write-up of the whole challenge while just looking for an answer to a simple question?
