TWC Staff are looking at transferring the lists of tutorials for each Total War game onto the Wiki. This will mean that Content and other staff, and general members, can all help keep them up-to-date without needing moderator permissions - and the wiki also provides better formatting options (Table of Contents, and sub-headings etc) - and an easier to view 'history' to spot what's been added when...

Once we've got the indexes up-to-date (or at least better than forum versions) we can get stickied threads put in the game sections to direct forum users to the wiki page/s, along with a helpful message about how to get a wiki account to help make updates/corrections.

Queries/Issues

1. How much do we try and standardise this, e.g. do we want separate pages for Tutorials, Resources, & Tools for every game regardless of how many (how few) entries they might have?

2. How much to try and standardise topic headings, e.g. Mapping / Units/ Sounds / db Editing? Mak' suspects we could standardise RTW with M2TW; and then probably all the Warscape ones together (though there's probably some oddities like only Shogun allowing new maps?)

3. Method of handling Tutorials/Tools that apply to multiple games.

Try to include them on each of the relevant games' lists? (could be more accurate if something applies to 5 out of 6 games only)
Include them only on a general 'Warscape Tutorials List'? (might be harder to find)
Stick them on a template that could be 'transcluded' into each warscape game's page? (so they'd only need updating in the one place)

4. Find someone helpful that knows enough about Warscape modding to identify all the Tools/Tutorials that are common to multiple games! NOTE: Please don't anyone go off and bug modders for help without clearing it with Wiki Director first!
