Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-4787191-20130219053252

 Yes! This topic is so important it needs to have an orange background!

After reading some of the tutorials, I was dissapointed in what I saw. The number of low quality "tutorials" was so high I had a couple of bullets in my computer by the end of the day. I am just hoping that you will read this before posting. A major problem in the tutorial section of the forum, is that there is only 3 out of 14 articles I would consider tutorials... As stated on the browsing page, the purpose of this part is "Post your Tekkit tutorials here." Most articles belong in other parts of the forums. To orginize the forums it to a better extent, I came up with some basic rules that could be followed for sorting



If you are taking a vote about something on the wiki, it belongs on news and announcements. In general, don't post on this forum, it's mainly for the admins.

If you are introducing yourself, it belongs on the "introduce yourself" forum, nothing else belongs there.

If you are asking something, it belongs in the Q&A forum. This is the only forum where there should be questions about things in the game. Before posting there, read the wiki to see if that answers your question, the wiki is here for a reason.

If you are assuming something or you say "I think" anywhere on the article, it belongs in the Q&A

If you need to ask something from the administrators of the wiki, it goes in the Administrator Noticeboard. Questions about Tekkit and anything part of the game should be put in Q&A. Questions that belong here include pages for deletion, copyright issues and ideas for improving the wikia.

Tutorials are an interesting subject, I would consider a tutorial at least a good paragraph long with an image or two, if it isn't, it is not really going in depth about the subject of what is happening. Imagine you are teaching this to a gaggle of 8 year olds, you need to write it so that they will understand it. Simply, be clear with what you state. If you are making a tutorial on a certain kind of block, please read the wiki article about it.

If your article belongs in none of the above, it goes in general discussion.



Last rule, If you do not spell check I will mentally blow up your factory. When you post something and after confirming, you see a typo, imagine me in my assassins creed skin placing a nuke in your home, rigged up to a player detector to explode when you come home. Imagine the ruins of your house, a giant circle of destruction. If only you spell checked...



Overall, I would appreciate what you guys think of this general rule set for sorting, as clearly there needs to be a change if organization is to be achieved. Although you and a dozen others may support this, it is 100% up to the admins to decide what will happen to this.
