Why not add the tutorial island? It's not like that it will have the Wiki go down with its popularity. I mean, if it gets implemented it will most probably has the basics within it only. Not like the advanced recipes, (Crossbow, bolt, yewbeam bow, quiver, woven vest...etc), it will only have the basics, (Bucket, flint, crude rod). So the users will still have to check the wiki for the more advanced recipes.

The problem is, if it will be first time-join only, the beginners may want to re-try it, so, there will have to be a pop-up GUI when anyone join the game, asking if he or she wants to try out the tutorial.

Now, the problem with this second solved-problem is, that experienced or semi-experienced users may abuse this future, I know that everyone will be invulnerable to attacks and all, but it will count abuse since they just keep trying it over and over.

Edit: Another problem may be, that if we actually make a tutorial on the Wiki forums, it will get ignorance from the new players, and will be read by the real addicted users, who know nearly every recipe in the game. It's because they probably check the Wiki really often and they probably know about the forums or something.

And if we make a full-on guide, whether it be on the guides page or on a single article, it will be ignored, since most users will be lazy to check up "Tutorial", or "Guide" on the search bar.

This is not the only problem, the problem is, before all of this actually happens, it's againest the Wiki rules to go ahead and make a guide in an article, of course, unless it's approved by administrators, then it will probably be made.

Second Edit: Actually, a tutorial can be made on a single article OR on the guides page, but if it will be made on the guides page, it will be ignored, since most users knows that the guides which are on the guides page are written by players, which mostly have bad grammar, and in-accurate information, which leads at most cases to the guide being bad. And as I said above, making a guide in a single article is againest the rules.

As it says on point 12 on the rules page:

"◾ Steer away from the temptation of sharing an idea by making a new page. There is already an Suggestions forum in which anyone is free to add their own."

And since a guide is probably counted as a suggestion, this may be againest the rules, I'm not really sure about it, so I request an administrator to tell me if a guide is really counted as a suggestion, you know.

TL;DR: There is no TL;DR, don't be lazy and go ahead and read all of the post.
