Untree'd Articles

• WWP Trainer
• What You Can Do

Weapon articles

• what it does
• how to use it
• finer strategies
• minutia
• animations/screenshots if appropriate...?

Scheme articles

• Minimum standard for adequate rating:
  • Suitably comprehensive description, with rules and variations if applicable
  • Setup infobox with scheme download
• If a scheme is largely devoid of strategy, the article need not have an entire section for it. Mentioning the lack of strategy (and covering what little strategy there is) is sufficient.

Software articles

• Description should contain
  • what the program does
  • a list of the most significant features (or all of them if not too many)
  • a short userguide (or complete userguide if not too long)
  • limitations, and comparisons with alternatives
• Future plans is considered complete if the article mentions that:
  • the program is obsolete or
  • the program is 'complete' and likely has no room for improvement or
  • the creator has stopped working on the program
• History is considered complete if the article gives an approximate date of creation and mentions any major milestones in the program's history.

ReadMe articles

• Apparently SupSuper did some translation for the Portuguese version. Someone poke him.
