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.

In response to some comments during the last round of voting, I've changed some wording in the guide to make it not look like a group page. - DevOhm 04:26, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

For

1. Author vote. - DevOhm 04:26, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
2. You've definately fixed the group-look. Well written and fairly origional material. Good guide!--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 04:37, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
3. Doesn't feel as much like a group page now, and since I was on the fence before, you've pulled me to the other side with the changes. —Aichon— 05:33, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

So you've decided to become a zombie

For

1. I was planning on abstaining, since I felt like it was a bit of a wall of text. On second thought though, it's fairly fun to read, and is a pretty extensive discussion of zombie skills and their utility/importance. Still, it could probably afford to be pared down a bit. - DevOhm 04:32, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
