Guides/Review

Shortcut:
G/R

This page is for the community review of new guides. This is so the Guides page does not get filled up with nonsensical guides (like it was at one point,) and that there is a minimum standard of quality on the Guides page. Guides which pass this review have a template added to the page ({{GuideReviewed}}) and featured guides will have {{FeaturedGuide}} added to the page. Guides which do not pass a community review will not be added to the Guides page, but may still carry [[Category:Guides]]. This is so that guides that are deemed good and worthy by the community are easily findable by newer players, while less accurate guides can still be found, but aren't presented as prominently.

Guides are reviewed through a voting process. There are three eligible votes:

• Support - to indicate support for the guide's inclusion on the page
• Abstain - to not formally vote, but still offer input on the discussion
• Against - to indicate disapproval for the guide's inclusion on the page

After two weeks, the votes will be tallied.

• A guide which has more than 75% Support will be placed at a "Featured Guides" section at the top of the guides page
• A guide which has more than 50% Support will be placed on the page, in the appropriate section (survivor, zombie, or player killer.)
• A guide which has less than or equal to 50% Support will not be placed on the page
• Guides which don't attract any votes will not be placed on the page

General criteria which should be considered before a guide is included on the page are:

1. Formatting - There must be no obvious formatting errors in the text. The guide must work in all major browsers
2. Accuracy - The guide must be accurate
3. Clarity - The guide must be easy to read, with no obvious spelling or grammar errors.

If you are writing a guide and want feedback before taking it to review, please read the Developing Guides page.

Please note that neutrality and civility are not requirements.

Voting

Please add {{Guidesvoting}} on the guide before nominating it. Please inform the author if they are still active and can easily be found.

Guides:Spawning Hotspots

Have a read. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 12:23, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Support

1. Support - A good, unique guide presenting an interesting strategy that nobody's tried before.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 12:25, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
2. Aye - As Yonnua. --Thadeous Oakley Talk 16:15, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
3. Interesting and unconventional thoughts. Exactly what the Guides page needs. -- Spiderzed▋ 22:16, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
4. Love, love, love the idea. Can't wait to test it out. ~ 18:59, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
5. As Yonnua, although I'd like to see a few more case studies explaining each of the possible human classes. Asheets 21:44, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
6. Nicenessness - Something seems off though. As Asheets above and Mis below. -- †  talk ? f.u. 03:26, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Abstain

1. I really like it, but I just feel like it's not quite finished. Maybe a few aesthetic touches would help. It's completely solid, but at its face, it just doesn't look it. Of course, I'm an asshole and perhaps overly critical as a result. :( 21:54, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

   Hell you're not an asshole. I'm sure you have suggestions to improve it. Otherwise you're an asshole. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 21:56, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

   I could probably do something with it, not sure if that's kosher whilst it's in voting, but if it is I'll see what I can do. A big gripe is that you're still using Rillie Bank's locationblock instead of something modified from it, for example. 21:58, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

   Speaking of which, I made a new toy. {{Place}}. Should be useful for events and guides and the like. 22:20, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

2. I agree with Mis. It is very interesting and clever but comes across more as a case study than an guide. I think will some minor tweaks it would be pretty amazing. Also, rewrite the first sentence, or at least put some commas in it. -MHSstaff 17:32, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
