This proposal is for an "easy mode" to submit wiki content.
Whereas:
Whereas:
- There is currently a significant buildup of 1,065 WIP articles
- Many of these articles are abandoned by their creators
- Star Army possesses a license to use the content of the WIP articles as established through the site's Terms of Use
- Some of these articles are useful, maybe even critical to some of SARP's factions/RPs
- It is Star Army's policy to remove articles which meet the Criteria for Deletion (read the linked page for details)
- Andrew has saved WIPs from deletion by moving them into the WIP section instead of deleting them (did you read the above linked page?)
- There is concern from Charmaylarg and others that these WIPs will be pruned if not touched in a year.
- Allow for a period of "easy mode" for submission of WIP content
- During this time period, wiki standards for templates are relaxed:
Easy Mode Review Checklist:
[ ] Page has a green smile face as rated by the Quality plugin
[ ] The topic of the article is based on posted RP and links to the forum thread where it appears
[ ] There are at least 3 sentences worth of solid content
Easy mode submissions are not required to contain damage ratings, speeds, or other stats.
- During the Easy Mode period staff, FMs, and volunteers will attempt to clear the backlog of WIPs.
- The Easy Mode will last for the rest of the year, ending January 1st, 2024, and submissions standards will return to normal.
