Guide and page requirements[edit]
We have very few requirements on the structure of guides, but there are two that we mandate for every guide:
- There must be a "Getting Started" page and there must be a "Walkthrough" page. Even if they just serve as portals to other pages in the guide, they must exist.
- Every page must include a Header Nav and a Footer Nav. Please do not remove them from the top and bottom of each page (other than the front page which does not include the Footer Nav).
Other than those two requirements, you are free to structure your guide however you like. Thank you. Procyon 16:51, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
- I'm also not completely convinced this guide falls under SW:SCOPE. Is this a game, a set of games, or a game engine? --Prod (talk) 19:06, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
- All of the above. For regular players it just feels like a game you can mod. That is also how ModDB classified it. The gameplay is so widely different to the original that it will be better to keep most of the guides and tactics in separate pages. Matthias (talk) 06:24, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
- To me, this sounds like a re-implementation of the game engine, which just happens to be common between the three games. How different is the OpenRA version of each game from the original? Perhaps a section about OpenRA added to each of the three guides directly would be more in line with the site (one game - one guide). -- Prod (talk) 12:57, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
- The community moved towards your competitors instead: https://openra-red-alert.fandom.com/ Like I said, the strategies of the legacy games don't apply here. Matthias (talk) 17:52, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
