Archive of Wisdom Guidelines, Criteria, and Requirements

 

About the Archive of Wisdom

 

  • The Archive of Wisdom contains guides written by expert players on the most challenging, broad, and intricate activities in RuneScape today. Have you recently read a spectacular guide? Do you think it's so helpful and contains such valuable information that it deserves a spot in the Archive of Wisdom? If so, we invite you to use the report feature on a guide that you think is worthy of AoW promotion!

Nominating General Guides for Promotion/Demotion

 

  • If you happen to find one of these rare gems worthy of promotion, utilize the /!\ Report feature at the bottom of the topic's first post. In your report, please state the following for clarity:
     
    • Clearly state that you think the guide deserves to be promoted to the AoW.
    • Also include a short blurb explaining why you think the guide deserves this promotion.

    • Note: nominating a guide for promotion is not a guaranteed thing! Each report will be assessed carefully by the Player Guide Moderation team. This process will take time, so please bear with us! You're welcome to contact us with any questions

Everyone retires eventually, which leaves guides outdated. It happens to the best--even to guides in the Archive of Wisdom! If you see a guide that no longer is maintained, please report the guide using the procedure explained above.

 

Criteria for the Archive of Wisdom

 

  • What we look for...
     
    • Uniqueness - Some overlap to existing content on our main website is allowed. Helpful links to existing Tip.It website guides are encouraged in order to avoid overlap. We will not accept any pictures or text that you've copied from another RuneScape fansite or from the RuneScape manual or Knowledge Base. However, new submissions will be not be authorized if a guide already exists on the site or in the Archive of Wisdom on the same topic. If certain portions of repeat topics are valuable, they may be added to existing website guides as stated above.
    • Accuracy - The information provided must be correct. Please don't rely on other published guides - they may contain errors. Check your information in the game personally.
    • Researched Data - a helpful guide generally takes hours and hours of research in the game, usually requiring the capture of raw data to analyse and present in the guide.
    • Images - Although screenshots are not absolutely necessary for an accurate guide, we will only accept screenshots that you yourself have taken in-game.
    • Required Levels, Quests and Items - Post all requirements to enable users to determine if they are able to complete the task and how to prepare for it. Including recommended levels for harder tasks is a big plus!
    • Rewards/Benefits - Listing the benefits as well as definite rewards will help users to decide if the task is worth doing.
    • Format, Spelling and Grammar - A well-written guide should be easy to read and understand, free from spelling errors and grammatically correct. Keep your guide short and to the point, avoiding abbreviations and online jargon. Use headings wherever possible for ease-of use. The few guides published on the Archive of Wisdom are subject to editorial review. Spelling, grammar and readability changes may be made without notice.
    • Adherence to all Tip.It Forum Rules.

 

Update Requirements

 

  • In the rare event that a guide is considered good enough, then it will be moved to the AOW. It is your responsibility to ensure that your guide is kept up to date. If updates are not made when necessary (New game updates, etc), then the guide may be removed. Guides and portions thereof are subject to removal based on valid user feedback and PMG Moderators.
     
    Guides not authorized for AOW posting will be handled on a case-by-case basis. They may remain on this forum or removed as applicable.

 

Copyright Policy

 

  • We will not accept any pictures or text that copied from another RuneScape fansite, from the RuneScape manual or Knowledge Base. If you submit someone else's work as your own, it is plagiarism and violation of copyright law. If you try to submit a copyrighted image or text taken from another site, not only will your guide be locked and NOT used but disciplinary action may be taken. You may also be forbidden to make any further contributions to our website. If you are in doubt about something you'd like to submit, please PM a Crew Member FIRST. If you notice that another user's submission is material copied word-for-word from another website, please make certain of the facts and PM a Crew member. If you are absolutely sure you can simply use the Report button and identify the original site.
     
    Information submitted for publication on the Rune Tips portion of our website, either via the site or our forums, becomes the property of Rune Tips, and will be used as seen fit. When any contribution is submitted for publication on Rune Tips, whether it be text, graphics, or illustrations, you consent to the transfer and assignation of copyright of the submission to Rune Tips.
