Reporting Guidelines

Changing the Suburb Colour

It's fairly easy to switch a suburb from Safe to Very Dangerous. Every suburb has its own danger report page, just look for the link on said suburb page and change it to the proper level.

Let's say you want to change Dakerston danger level from Safe to Moderate.
First you will go to Dakerstown suburb page, and follow the link listed on the Update Dakerstown's danger level. on the suburb table.
There you will edit the page, and change the entry from {{mapSafe}} to {{mapModerate}}
This will automatically change the danger level on the suburbs page and in every suburb that lists this 'burb.

Normal suburbs use the map set of colors: use MapSafe for safe suburbs, MapModerate for suburbs with some zombies, MapDanger for dangerous suburbs and MapVeryDanger for suburbs full of zombies and PKers.

Notable and historically noteworthy suburbs use the Special set, so that the name of the suburb appears in bold face. Use the suburb names SpecialSafe, SpecialModerate, SpecialDanger and SpecialVeryDanger.

Please note that the keyword is Case Sensitive. If you add mapsafe or mAPsAFE the template won't load, leaving a blank background to the suburb.

Noteworthy Suburbs

Simple Guidelines for Noteworthiness

For a suburb to be able to be called Noteworthy, important events on the history of Malton must have happened on it. The place where hordes were born, important sieges, or events that gained attention from the entire community.

  • An important and unique event must have happened in the suburb
Events like Stanstock, the first and second sieges of Caiger Mall are nice examples of unique events that marked history. The first united the entire urban dead community, and the second and third were HUGE sieges where survivor-kind won against the hordes. Events like the Mall Tour and the Big Bash, on the other hand, doesn't make a suburb noteworthy, as several burbs took part of this event.
  • An important and/or historical group was formed in that suburb
When a group manages to draw the attention of the entire community or influence the gameplay centers his actions around a burb of birth, that suburb can be called noteworthy. Examples of this are Ridleybank and Yagoton. The first is the infamous homeland of zombie-kind, homeland of the Ridleybank Resistance Front, while the second is the home of the Yagoton Revivification Clinic, the first and most famous group dedicated to revivification.
  • An unique and noteworthy building exists in this suburb
This usually doesn't make a suburb noteworthy at all, unless important events on the history of Malton happened there. Resiting two huge sieges inside Caiger Mall make that unique building noteworthy, while having the only Zoo in the city isn't noteworthy as nothing important of note happened there.

Note that merely fitting in any of these categories doesn't automatically make a suburb noteworthy. It still needs the approval of the community. Nominate and discuss a suburb in the below header.
