Howdy Everyone,

First, please delight in the fact that your contest overseer has actually posted this announcement in a manner that will allow the puzzled or curious to reply on the forums with questions.

Second, in order to help focus work in the contest (and to help me keep an eye on who is doing what), I have updated the wiki's contest page to include links to either existing articles which can be the focus of everyone's work or to brand new pages (literally, they're blank slates waiting for content) to work on. Here's the link to the contest page again:

https://gswiki.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Player_Guide_Contest

Additionally, as a matter of convenience, here are links to the aforementioned selected pages, broken down by generality, profession, and locations. The last, locations, is more of a second tier area to work on, but definitely, if you may not feel confident about offering information on how to start playing or playing your profession to the best, but you know your home town inside and out, this is your forum to shine!

If it's something that every player should know, then it definitely should count. Investigate, however, if it can be incorporated into the general new player's guide or not, and at the very least, it should probably be something linked from that guide. You might also consider whether you can add a section to each profession guide for specific profession spells, such as, Rangers should always have X running or Paladins Y running, etc.

Thanks for the participation!

Once the buff spell page is more completed and in better shape, we can see about taking the professional sections as individual pages, then they can be wrapped into different places while being edited at a central place. I'll look into it.
