Advice before Making a Suggestion
- Read the Suggestions Dos and Do Nots page and the Frequently Suggested Ideas page for guidelines.
- Consider taking it to the Developing Suggestions page first. You will get a feel for how the community views such suggestions and often get some idea for fine tuning your suggestion. This step is recommended.
- Look for your suggestion in the following pages to avoid a duplicate suggestion (Use the Ctrl + F function to search for keywords):
- Repeats of Suggestions under consideration or already considered may be deleted without warning by any user unless there are substantial differences.
- New and sensitive users should be aware that voters will not always treat their ideas kindly. It may be helpful to wait a few days to get a feel for the place and the other users before subjecting your idea to any possible criticism. If you're unsure, the Discussion page is good neutral territory to suggest, gather feedback, and refine your idea before officially submitting it.
- Before submitting your suggestion, read what kind of suggestions are approved, and which rejected.
- If your suggestion is a basic functionality improvement, it will probably be accepted.
- If it makes characters, especially survivors, significantly more powerful, it will almost certainly be rejected.
- Again, read the existing suggestions before you post.
- Reading the Talk page is also highly recommended.
- Each author should not make more than one suggestion per day (i.e. in a 24 hour period beginning at 00:01 BST). This limit does not include suggestions which the author has removed for the purpose of revision. Suggestions may be revised once per day at most. Suggestions must be removed prior to revisions being posted. Frequent removal of suggestions to avoid having them spaminated is considered abuse of the system. Removal of suggestions in order to post non-revision suggestions the same day is also considered abuse of the system.
- Suggestions created entirely for the purpose of satire, insult, or comedy are considered vandalism and treated appropriately by sysops. If you want to post a joke suggestion put it on the Humorous Page.
Peer Reviewed Suggestions
Peer Reviewed Suggestions are not guaranteed to be implemented into the game. Suggestions that are Peer Reviewed are simply suggestions considered good and worthy by the wiki population, and being moved to that page places no onus on Kevan to implement them.

Making a Suggestion
If this is your first time making a suggestion, consider taking it to the Developing Suggestions page before starting in on the voting process as described below. The friendly people there can help you avoid formating errors and will let you know if the suggestion stands a decent chance of passing a vote, has glaring problems, or (good or bad) has been made and voted on already in the past. You may also find it useful to have a look at this Sample Suggestion to let you see what you need to put into your suggestion when you make it.
To make a new suggestion:
- Copy and paste the following code to the bottom of Current day's suggestions:
- {{Subst:NewSug|SUGGESTION NAME}}
- Clicking here will edit the current day's suggestions list.
- There is no need to include the date, or to sign, the template will do all that for you. Please make your suggestion name descriptive, and no /'s or quotes.
- Once you have added the template, it will produce a link to your new suggestion page.
- Follow the link, and add the {{SugHead}} template to the page, and press preview. Then follow the instructions it will give you.
