Editorial Policy
We do not want pages that only remix other sites or fill space with obvious statements. A page should be indexed only when it gives a player a clear answer, a useful point of view, and enough depth that they do not need to immediately search again.
Pages on STS2 Wiki are published only after they are written, revised, and approved by players who actually play the game.
- Pages that answer a real search intent directly.
- Guides that include practical recommendations, tradeoffs, and failure cases.
- Pages with visible review dates and enough structure to be scanned quickly.
- Content that reads like a human guide, not like source aggregation.
- Thin pages that only define a term without helping a decision.
- Template-driven filler added just to create more URLs.
- Pages that summarize other guides without adding a stronger editorial read.
- Pages whose core advice would change after one real balance pass.
The standard every guide is held to
- Write from a clear player point of view instead of source mashup language.
- Only publish indexable pages when they answer a real search intent completely enough to be useful on their own.
- Prefer practical advice, tradeoffs, and run-shaping decisions over filler or repeated definitions.
- Keep revision dates visible and update pages when the game changes in a meaningful way.
Character, relic, and system pages should be revised when balance patches materially change early priorities, reliable build directions, unlock flow, or matchup advice. Cosmetic wording tweaks do not count as a real review. If the strategy changed, the date should change too.
