Guides/Review

Shortcut:
GR

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:Damage Per Action

Was never nominated because it was just put into the Guides namespace, while it's there we might as well throw it here, and I think (assuming the maths is right) that it could be very helpful. --

Support

1. Nothing that isn't blatantly obvious to someone knowing basic stochastics, but as someone has already written it up, it can as well be included on the Guides page. -- Spiderzed▋ 11:45, 16 July 2010 (BST)
2. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 11:48, 16 July 2010 (BST)

Guides:Anti Siege Strategy

For some reason this has never been voted on. So I'm putting it up now. Linkthewindow  Talk  02:16, 16 July 2010 (BST)

Support

Against

1. A little outdated (it predates cade blocking) but the information is still (basically) good. Pretty much needs an update, then I'll vote for inclusion. Linkthewindow  Talk  02:16, 16 July 2010 (BST)
2. Outdated, and rather curt. A relic of a time long-gone, when numbers were high enought that large-scale tactics mattered more, and cade-blocking didn't exist. Now that it does, sieges don't, which makes this a poor choice for being featured. 02:21, 16 July 2010 (BST)
3. It's not retarded, but it is outdated. --VVV ^RPMBG 02:31, 16 July 2010 (BST)
4. Clearly superceded by The Mall Defence Manifesto. I see nothing in A.S.S. (:P) that isn't already covered by that one (and then some more). -- Spiderzed▋ 11:28, 16 July 2010 (BST)
5. As the above people. Technical Pacifist 12:00, 16 July 2010 (BST)

Abstain
