* Guides are not [[Fitting Modules and Rigs Guide|lists]], checklists, [[Annotated Index to PvP|indices]], [[Fleet Terminology|glossaries]], or [[Tips and Tricks|assorted tips and tricks]].

* Guides are not guides just because they say they are.

** Anyone can write an article on the UniWiki. Not all authors will read these guidelines, and may proudly [[AMC Search & Rescue Operations|proclaim in their introductory paragraph]] that their article is "a guide". However, if it does not meet the criteria for being a guide, it should not categorized as one, regardless of what the article's text asserts. Similarly, [[Guide to Logistics|having the word "guide" in the title]] also does not necessarily mean that the article is a guide.

* [[: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.

* Articles about features of the [[:Category:User Interface|User Interface]]

** Like articles that describe 3rd party tools, a description of how to use a particular feature of the UI is implicit in the article. Again, if a particular feature is complex enough to warrant its own page and requires step-by-step instructions, then that specific page may be labeled as a guide.
