Forum:Walkthroughs

I'm puzzled at one part of the "You are creating a new article" advice.
 * Please don't create walkthrough or how-to articles.
 * This is a wiki, not a how-to guide.

The word "walkthrough" seems not to be anywhere else on this wiki. So it hasn't been discussed here. I guess it's a Central-Wikia-inspired template.

Puzzling, just the same. The Gaming Wikia has a standard template for each game's main page that encourages the creation of a walkthrough subpage. The Civilization Wikia has several walkthroughs or how-to articles. There's no intrinsic incompatibilty between wikis and walkthroughs, so the second sentence I quoted seems just stupid.

Maybe the writer of that advice can front up and explain. Until then, I suggest that it be ignored. Players are more likely to visit this site and stay and get involved if it answers some of their questions, no matter what level they are at.

Good luck! — Robin Patterson (Talk) 12:20, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
