Any relevant information pertaining to CivClassic mechanics and gameplay belongs in the [[Comprehensive Guide]]. Nevertheless, article standards are not lowered and superfluous content is unacceptable. |

General : |
|||
= General guidelines = |
|||
* Start splitting large sections into their own pages while maintaining a link to the new page from the main comprehensive guide page. |
|||
* "hide" the big tables behind a show/hide button |
|||
* More logical flow between plugins : e.g. NameLayer and CivChat2 and Citadel should be close together |
|||
* use footnotes to cite the readme's or other sources a section borrows from |
|||
* Clean up! Many confusing or grammatically incorrect fragments and reminders to editors in body. |
|||
* To do : Complete to do list and ordering priorities |
|||
* Coordinate editing effort for civ plugin readme's |
|||
* Do not segregate by plugin for no reason : If two plugins effect the same gameplay aspect it is better to group them together and use asterisk's to denotate which plugin has which effect. (e.g. grouping all pvp changes in single category). |
|||
* Try to write in a reasonably academic/'wiki appropriate' style. Second person is allowed but try to minimize its usage when possible |
|||
* Use references to cite sources when possible (eg. A plugin readme) |
|||
* Do not segregate content by plugin for no reason. If multiple plugins change the same gameplay aspect it is better to group the content under one section (However, do use footnotes to show which plugin does what - this can be helpful for readers interested in finding external sources). |
|||
* Use and fix <code><nowiki>{{Citation needed}}</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{Clarify}}</nowiki></code> messages. |
|||
* Plugins may not cleanly fit inside a core comprehensive guide section <code>World</code>,<code>Production</code>,<code>Protection</code>,<code>Combat</code>. However if most of a plugin or mechanic is relevant, it is preferable to place it in respective category then in <code>Miscellaneous</code>. |

Any relevant information pertaining to CivClassic mechanics and gameplay belongs in the Comprehensive Guide. Nevertheless, article standards are not lowered and superfluous content is unacceptable.
General guidelines
- Try to write in a reasonably academic/'wiki appropriate' style. Second person is allowed but try to minimize its usage when possible
- Use references to cite sources when possible (eg. A plugin readme)
- Do not segregate content by plugin for no reason. If multiple plugins change the same gameplay aspect it is better to group the content under one section (However, do use footnotes to show which plugin does what - this can be helpful for readers interested in finding external sources).
- Use and fix
{{Citation needed}}and{{Clarify}}messages. - Plugins may not cleanly fit inside a core comprehensive guide section
World,Production,Protection,Combat. However if most of a plugin or mechanic is relevant, it is preferable to place it in respective category then inMiscellaneous.
Completeness
Sections are ranked roughly by the proportion of pertinent information filled in.
Almost all pertinent information
Most pertinent information
Some pertinent information
Very little or no pertinent information
Existing Guides
Existing guides may be useful to mine for information. Those listed below are likely to have been extensively mined already.
- Brinton's New User's Guide
- Bgbba's New User's Guide
- Crimeo's Security tips for new friends
- LordofMarzipan's Centre For Children Who Can't Protect Their Stuff Good And Want To Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too
- Plugins
You may add more guides to this list that may contain pertinent information:
Formatting To Do
- Links from one part of the Comprehensive Guide to another part of the Comprehensive Guide should be distinguishable from links to elsewhere on the Wiki. e.g.
CG:Citadel - Templates for talkpages eg. section completeness could be useful
To Do
- Could use a section on superfriends, modmail and how administration works.
