'''What is a guide? What does a guide do?'''
 
−
* Guides lead readers toward a goal.
 
−
* Guides explain concepts in a way that builds on previous information.
 
−
** While all articles should be organized in a logical manner, guides present information in a way that encourages readers to read from top to bottom in a clear sequence.
 
−
* Guides are substantial.
 
−
** Given EVE's complexity, there are many things that can be explained step-by-step. However, short articles that quickly detail how to use a specific feature (such as [[Audio Alerts]]) are not guides. Brief explanations of how to use specific game features are considered implicit in the description of those features.

Most articles are not guides, nor should they be labeled as such. The UniWiki is first and foremost an encyclopedia documenting game mechanics, items, and concepts in EVE Online. There is absolutely a place for guides on the UniWiki, and it is important to distinguish a "guide" from an explanatory article.

'''What guides aren't:'''

* Guides are not lists

'''Articles types that are never guides:'''

* [[:Category:Syllabi|Syllabi]]
 
−
** Syllabi (such as [[Armor Tanking 101]]) are used by teachers to teach classes, so they are written for teachers, not new players/students. Teachers may re-write the syllabi they use as scripts, but regardless of the format of a syllabus, they should never be marked as guides.

* Articles about [[3rd Party Tools]]
 
−
** In general, a description of how to use a tool is implicit in the description of the tool. If a particular function of a tool warrants its own page and provides step-by-step instructions, then that specific page may be labeled as a guide.
