The '''Guide namespace''' is where users can create and edit guides on BG3Wiki. These pages use different rules from the rest of the wiki.

You can link to community guides using [[Template:Guidenote]].
== What is a guide? ==
Whereas the main wiki space ''documents'' the game, the Guide space offers strategy and advice. BG3Wiki has both community guides and user guides.


== How to create guides ==
=== Community guides ===
To create a Guide, simply start an article name with {{code|Guide:}}. For example, {{code|Guide:How to use torches}}.
Community guides are written by the BG3Wiki community, and follow [[Help:Style Guide#Guides|guidelines]] much like ordinary wiki articles.
 
Most community guides should be named after their respective article. [[Template:Guidenote]] can be used on a wiki article to link to its respective community guide.
 
Community guides may be more subjective than ordinary wiki articles, but they are still regulated by consensus – the general [[Help:Editing Policy|Editing Policy]] still applies.


Do not remove the {{code|<nowiki>{{Guide}}</nowiki>}} template that will be generated on the guide page.
Duplicate community guides as well as community guides that are considered to be of poor quality or notability may still be removed, just like regular wiki articles.


== Guide namespace rules ==
=== User guides ===
User guides have fewer guidelines and special policies that set them apart from the rest of the wiki:
User guides are guides written by individual users, and have special exceptions that set them apart from the rest of the wiki:
* User guides must be indicated as such with [[Template:Guide]] at the top of the page. This will be auto-generated when you create the page.
* Feel free to use whatever style you find preferable when creating a guide. Do not feel limited by the [[Help: Style Guide|Style Guide]].

* When creating a guide, you can indicate on your guide that you'd prefer it if users didn't edit.

Community guides, similarly to the main wiki space, abide by community-determined guidelines and principles, but are intended to be styled as guides, and so may use different guidelines from the rest of the wiki.
