As some of the keen eyed editors may have noticed, there is a new namespace. The guides namespace. I've been working hard to fix up our guides, as that's half of what a gameplay wiki like this is about. =Guides= We all love new contributors, but there are few places where they can jump in and help. Our wiki is extremely well done and polished, and a lot of the new contributors first edits are reverted by more advanced editors. Very few of them can successfully hit off on the rest of the community in the forums, and anybody who even touches the categories without special training first is in hot water.

On a similar note, a lot of the people I see who need help have already looked at the wiki, but cant put all of the information together. You could redirect them to the forums, and then to the Guides, but a lot of guides are substandard and don't give you much information, and nobody can do anything about it.

This is where the new namespace comes into play. We can write guides collaboratively in a place where they can be sorted, searched, and worked together on. Unfortunately this doesn't come without a price. This huge aesthetic and functional upgrade will require a lot of dedication, work, and overseeing. It will also need a solid set of rules.

Rules
As wikia, the community run project, decisions like these are made by the community. I'll propose a set and we can work on it as required. To start us off, we can have a guide for survival on each island (both maps) and a guide for power training each skill, which should be plenty.
 * 1) Regular wikia rules apply.
 * 2) New guides must be first proposed on the forums. This is in place to prevent masses of guides from being created and us having too many to keep track of.
 * 3) Guides should be written in second person: "After this, you collect a stone."
 * 4) A topic is written per page, each separate guide is distinguished by a type one heading.

Post ideas and support in the comments (keep your "Dum idea" comments out of here), and let's keep striving for a better wiki!
