So one thing I've wanted more of here is GUIDES. The wiki is great for like information and there are the generation walkthroughs but there's not much in terms of general purpose how-to-play things. There's the Category:User Guides but not all that many.
My first proposal is that rather than requiring users to put them in their user space, how about a Guide namespace? Like Guide:How to Write a Guide. This would be for guides that any player is allowed to edit. If you want to be the only editor, you can leave it in your user space as usual.
Secondly, I am not a guide writer in general, so I don't know, but what do people want for making guides here? Is there anything that can make your lives easier? I will be more than happy to accommodate, be that making templates or scripts or whatever.
I'm being kind of indefinite about it but I eventually want to link to some guides on the main page, or lists of guides as appropriate. Something where newbies who hit our page can see that there's help in getting into the game. I don't know what that entails, really, but I want it to happen. When I have a better idea of it, I hope to make it a contest, for what idk.
So yes, this thread for now is for helping me help you help newbies, basically. Please do!
