I wrote something similar in my wiki too:

https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz/research/asking-questions

Boiling it down to a series of broad steps:

1. Do your own research first.

2. Include things you have tried and thought of before asking the question.

3. Be explicit about what you want to achieve in the end and provide as much information as possible to help.

4. Respect other people's time.

Learned it the hard way.
