If you put the name of the crossword first then go down and
put the Clue and letters that you have etc It helps us to help you.
One get the impression that you are afraid to tell us which
crossword it is..
As for local crossword ~ what is that about ? local being where ?

Yes I got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning ~ please
blame Eunice & Franklin.

Hope you all have a pleasant evening.

you'll be wanting letter counts next . . .
...and any letters placed.
I don't see much wrong with 'local crossword' really. Telling everyone that the clue comes from the business supplement of the Bogshire Bugle and Gazette (incorporating the Mucking Clarion and the Titville Post) probably isn't going to help people very much!

However I do agree that some questions might benefit from just a little bit more detail: https://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Quizzes-and-Puzzles/Crosswords/Question1785920.html

^ You'd found that clue, wasn't a guess. ;-)
I don't think it matters which or where from, or the number.
Cryptic or straight, and letter pattern, is fine.
Buen, from the one time I asked a crossword question, it was a little misleading, as it asked for crossword etc before posting, so you would expect it to come up.
How does the name of the crossword help us? Just the clue and letter count will do.

When I first joined this site, it did ask you to state
the paper/magazine etc ~ simple as that, and yes
it does help us to help you ~ just think about it.
As for Local - well that could be outer Mongolia and
I honestly don't know the lingo, I live locally !!!
Sorry don't mean to offend.

It's all still there but, I agree, it could be made more prominent:
