People like Flamewheel have already done guides. I feel like Liquipedia was designed to be quickly accessible and cogent. Not long guides with tons of analysis. But like I said before, this begs the question of how much is too much and where you draw the line before just linking a guide. And I'll say it again: maybe I'm wrong. I don't know what Salle and Blahzor and others have in mind for long term goals. | ||

I don't know what Salle and Blahzor and others have in mind for long term goals. Or we could just copy+paste our guide into Liquipedia. It takes some formatting change work but it doesn't take too long. That's what I did with my guide, at least. I'm just wondering where to put it in Liquipedia, at the moment it's just rotting under my username. | ||

But I also think we need to have some kind of additional editorial processes for guides as they will end up having many non-sourced statements that are the opinions of the author(s), one way to do this is to first post the guides to the TeamLiquid Dota 2 strategy forum and if it survives that trial by fire then it could be time to put onto the wiki. Also we need to think about how to do the formatting of guides. Doing them exactly like a forum post is not good, it doesn't utilize much of the potential of the wiki. | ||

Well I definitely think that guides should be linked to on the wiki, without a doubt. There are some great and comprehensive guides out there that we'd be fools to just ignore. But I agree with Salle in that they could become really opinionated, and that we have to have some way to guard against that. I can't really come up with a way on the top of my head. | ||

And to fix opinionated issue, one solution is to have a group of people who are fairly quite high skilled and very knowledgeable about the game to read guides and "correct" them and/or to write guides. | ||

How you'd find a group of people who are very knowledgeable about the game? One way is to ask pro players to review what someone writes in their guides and ask them if the person who wrote this knew what s/he was talking about or not. | ||

Means we need nice pro players then that are willing to donate some of their time for free. Also, some ideas in pub-oriented strategy guides will obviously not work in pro games, and vice versa. | ||

ie http://wiki.teamliquid.net/dota2/Drum_of_Endurance in the recipe part, knowing the prices without having to click the items would be good imo. | ||

I assume you mean in the box with all the item's basic stats and abilities; the branched recipe tree? I do like that idea of having the cost show up as well. Right now hovering over it only shows the name of the items because it links to a tiny png file that's only a picture. I'm not sure how to do a tooltip, but I definitely advocate that idea if someone else knows how to do it. | ||

|bottomitems=3 |bottomitem1=bracer |bottomitem2=robe of the magi |bottomitem3=recipe So I assume they set it up so that the word would link to the item page. Gotta get either Salle's or Blahz0r's input on if it would be possible to somehow have it show the price. Alternatively, the price can be listed under "general," but I know that isn't as convenient. | ||

In any case, the wiki overall is really great. Oh. That's a great idea. In fact, I think a "creeps" section under "General Info" would be great. It could have ancients stats, creep stats, etc. I personally don't know them but the playdota has them. We aren't supposed to copy from that website though so I don't know what to do about that. | ||

I thought it was every 10 minutes :O | ||
