I'm down to add VODs since I've been watching a lot of KSL and ASL recently. Is there any general guidelines you guys think I should stick to (i.e. should it stick to the build order exactly, long/short game, etc.)?

Short, rehearsed and to the point is best IMO.

As close to the BO as possible but doesn't need to be exact, as long as it's the same strategy (28 nex often drops nex on 29 for example).

Ideally versus standard play with standard followup, or versus common builds that force a reaction (for example 28nex into robo 3gate 3rd vs mines fe is best, 28nex vs 2fac also good).

Long/short doesn't matter, preferably a decent game though.

For the pages that are missing vods entirely, anything is generally better than nothing.

Hey!

This is a great initiative. I will gladly help

I've been editing BW wiki recently. I'm not an admin or part of the staff, but I'm an editor, so I can move/rename pages, and accept/reject edits from new users, and do some other things that new users can't.

A few issues that I have seen related to strategy section

1. For every XvX matchup (like PvP) there are 3 pages with really average quality:
(Wiki)

PVTGuide

PVTBuilds

PvT Strategy

I would suggest that they are cleaned up first, I will start working on that. But I'm not a good enough player to to make sure that build quality and timings are correct

I can clear the formatting, remove parts that are clearly outdated, update build lists with links to build pages etc.

Some other things:
2. Many of the new build order pages are not linked to from any other pages, which means people are very unlikely to come across them. These are some pages that people in your initiative have created, and they are not linked anywhere. (Use Tools --> What links here on Liquipedia page to see that)
(Wiki)

Rax CC Rax (vs. Zerg)
(Wiki)

Gate Robo Gate (vs. Protoss)
(Wiki)

Hatch Gas Pool (vs. Terran)

3. Every Build order page must use the {{Infobox strategy}} template, because that adds categories to the page.

{{Infobox strategy
|name=Build order name
|race=X
|image=
|caption=
|matchups=XvX
|creator=Unknown
|popularized=
}}

4. Also, if you are a new user, your edits will not be seen by other website visitors, unless they are approved. And if the page lacks information, or has poor formatting, page and/or edits will stay unapproved, until the page quality is good enough.

5. If you are making a new page, you can make it in your userspace (On Liquipedia click on [Your name]->User). That's like a sandbox or playground. You can try things there, and when you feel that a page is ready, you can just copy/paste the content to a new page.
You can create pages in your userspace same way as you create normal pages (just change my name to yours in the link), for example:
(Wiki)

User:Awerti/page1
(Wiki)

User:Awerti/choose the name yourself

6. There is so much I could tell you about the wiki, formatting etc, to make your lives easier.
There is a BW channel on Liquipedia discord (invite discord.gg), I've seen some of you ask questions there already. You can post any wiki questions you have there, feel free to @awerti any time

Edit: I just went over all the unreviewed strategy/BO pages, and accepted most of them.
