-* It would probably be better to have a separate namespace for the pages just for better organization on our part. Another issue to address there is multiple tutorials for the same topic. We would need to handle a way for multiple users to create their own method of handling (assuming it's sane). We could neglect that and just have a common tutorial to which everyone must agree on, but I'm not sure how well that would work in this format. As for example mods on these pages, I would vote no on that. There would be a pain to handle all the different languages that the snippet has to be translated to and PR level of entry here would be quite substantial. I would still have to add the translations here, but it's much easier than having user PRs do it. - [[User:ChampionAsh5357|ChampionAsh5357]] ([[User talk:ChampionAsh5357|talk]]) 04:53, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

		+	== Tutorials page/namespace ==
		+
		+	One problem often seen in the modding community is the lack of available tutorials. This becomes a hurdle for new developers, who have to scour the internet for decent tutorials, which can be outdated or contain errors.
		+
		+	I propose that we add a ''Tutorials''' page or namespace, to allow the creation of tutorials here on the wiki. By being on the wiki, it can be edited and updated by anyone, allowing quick correction of errors and general improvements, the benefits on being on a publicly-editable wiki.
		+
		+	We have a few questions to answer though:
		+	* Should we have a singular <code>Tutorial</code> page and have tutorials be in subpages (<code>Tutorial/Getting started</code>, <code>Tutorial/Blocks</code>), or use a new namespace (<code>Tutorial:Getting started</code>, <code>Tutorial:Blocks</code>)?
		+	* Should we have example mods on these tutorial pages, or only have snippets? Example mods could be hosted on the [https://github.com/forgecommunitywiki/mod-examples FCW's <tt>mod-examples</tt> GitHub repo], though this raises the barrier of creating and improving these example mods.
		+
		+	Having tutorials on the wiki would improve our visibility (so people recommend the wiki's tutorials), and would benefit new developers who may be overwhelmed by other pages with the more technical details and encyclopedic tone.
