Should we allow users to write that they created the tutorial they made? Like, "This tutorial was written by '''Username'''."? —[[User:Random Ranaun|<font color=green>Random Ranaun</font>]] <small>([[User talk:Random Ranaun|<font color=lime>Talk to me!</font>]])</small> 00:54, February 17, 2011 (UTC)
:Adding creators to tutorials may give those people the feeling that the tutorials they create "belong to them" and may cause others to think that they aren't allowed to edit or improve another person's tutorials. I say definitely '''no'''. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 05:39, February 17, 2011 (UTC)
::'''Absolutelt not!''' A tutorial is not only created by one person. It might had been started by a specific person, but this shouldn't give copyright to them. Everyone should be allowed to edit any article. I'd also like to add what LIR stated above. |_'''[[User:Andronikos_Leventis|<font color="#A60914" size="2px">Andronikos Leventis</font>]]'''<sup> ''[[User_talk:Andronikos_Leventis|<font color="#1404A2" size="1.3px">Talk</font>]]''</sup>'' 12:49, February 17, 2011 (UTC)
:::Okay, good. BobNewbie said that he was going to create a Tutorial MoS. Should we all make suggestions? —[[User:Random Ranaun|<font color=green>Random Ranaun</font>]] <small>([[User talk:Random Ranaun|<font color=lime>Talk to me!</font>]])</small> 20:59, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

:::::What's the purpose of a Tutorial MoS. By that, I mean in what way would the TMoS differ from the [[The Sims Wiki:Manual of Style|MoS]] for the whole wiki? Also, what method will you use to allow community comment and consent to the Tutorial MoS? -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">LostInRiverview</font>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="navy">blog</font>]]</sup>''' 22:21, February 17, 2011 (UTC)
::::::Could tutorials be written in 2nd person view, or no? Also, I accidentally used bad wording in my above post. By MoS, I meant something like the [[The Sims Wiki:Fanon Creation|Fanon Creation]] page, but for tutorials. —[[User:Random Ranaun|<font color=green>Random Ranaun</font>]] <small>([[User talk:Random Ranaun|<font color=lime>Talk to me!</font>]])</small> 03:59, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
:::::::I think that the TMoS should differ from casual MoS, because tutorials need to state things simply and add helpful ideas. They don't add generic facts like a casual article does, they add successful tips and ideas that worked. |_'''[[User:Andronikos_Leventis|<font color="#A60914" size="2px">Andronikos Leventis</font>]]'''<sup> ''[[User_talk:Andronikos_Leventis|<font color="#1404A2" size="1.3px">Talk</font>]]</sup>'' 16:18, February 18, 2011 (UTC)
::::::::Should we make a Tutorial navigation template that would link to the Tutorial Portal, [[Tutorial:The Sims|The Sims tutorials]], [[Tutorial:The Sims 2|The Sims 2 tutorials]], and [[Tutorial:The Sims 3|The Sims 3 tutorials]], and would be placed on top of Tutorial pages? —[[User:Random Ranaun|<font color=green>Random Ranaun</font>]] <small>([[User talk:Random Ranaun|<font color=lime>Talk to me!</font>]])</small> 04:34, February 21, 2011 (UTC)

Should tutorials about modding The Sims Series be allowed? |_'''[[User:Andronikos_Leventis|<font color="#A60914" size="2px">Andronikos Leventis</font>]]'''<sup> ''[[User_talk:Andronikos_Leventis|<font color="#1404A2" size="1.3px">Talk</font>]]''</sup> 11:05, February 24, 2011 (UTC)
:I say yes.

::In case the community accepts, a disclaimer template should be created, because if someone's game gets too messy, it is likely that TSW is going to be blamed. It should also be added that The Sims Wiki does not support any of the tools used in this tutorials. |_'''[[User:Andronikos_Leventis|<font color="#A60914" size="2px">Andronikos Leventis</font>]]'''<sup> ''[[User_talk:Andronikos_Leventis|<font color="#1404A2" size="1.3px">Talk</font>]]''</sup> 19:36, February 24, 2011 (UTC)
