A couple guides suggestions

  • Have an option to allow anyone to submit a guide, same as submitting a run, and require verification before it is actually posted as a guide.
  • Allow super mods to edit the guide author name (possibly to even list the author as a non speedrun.com member, or list multiple authors)
  • Allow mods to manually reorder the list of guides
  • Allow other users to filter/search the guides, possibly have a tags system so guides could be tagged with specific categories for that game
  • Ability to preview a guide before posting, or have a hidden "work-in-progress" guides section for only the mods

Love the guides system, just seems a bit basic right now, but it is nice to get that information out there rather than always having to find someone who runs the game to teach each new runner everything.

Hi there,

I've also a suggestion about guides : The author is always the author or one of the authors. Maybe doing it like that : one author and contributors. With like Californ1a said : an option to allow anyone to be a contributor, or just mods. I created one for Deadcore. And when a mod did some updates, i lost my rights as he became the author.

I think replacing guides with a wiki would be best, but I know it's easier said than done.
