:Blue12porcupine, personally, I do not like the idea of advertising / populating the Game Help / Tutorial namespace (I'll refer to "Tutorial" for now). As we can imagine, tutorials are supposed to contain technical help or explanation about the game. I disagree if some random people just makes some random "tutorials", and then claim them as "tutorials." Technical stuff about the game is '''not''' supposed to be made like amateur.
:I'm sorry if I sound arrogant, but IMO, technical stuff requires things like in-game observations or experiments. We can't just put stuff together and claim it "tutorial." Take a look at [[Tutorial:How_to_make_a_fire_ghost_without_stepping_in_fire|this one]] for example. Some good examples of technical stuff from ''The Sims 2'' are [http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Pregnancy#Rolling_the_Pacifier_and_Firstborn_Syndrome the Firstborn Syndrome], the many dangers of accidentally deleting tombstones, [http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Moving_Sims moving Sims the wrong way], the danger of packaging an inhabited lot, deleting Sims, and [http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Avoiding_Hood_Corruption many other ways to corrupt the neighborhood]. These things aren't just known all of a sudden.

'''Information''': I sent a message to Wikia staff asking them; 1 - If namespace name changes are possible and allowed, 2 - If we could rename the current Help namespace to something else. They responded that namespace renames can be done, but they advise against renaming the Help namespace, and suggest that any namespace we create/rename to not have the word 'help' in it, to avoid confusion.

So... How do we name the Game Help space without calling it "Game Help"? -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] ~ [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 01:29, April 22, 2013 (UTC)
:Maybe 'Game Guidance' or 'Game Aid'. Still, it sounds to tutorial-ish....

:The technical help at SimsWiki also uses "Game Help" as their namespace, so I thought it would fit. :/ Other than that, I don't really have any idea.
