This policy has since been abandoned, and instead, users are encouraged to create sub-pages of their user page and write whatever guides they wish there. Unlike guides on articles, these are not covered by the same guidelines and general policies as normal articles, nor are they contributed to by several authors. They are the responsibility of a single editor, and normally cover much broader goals than the specific ones included in pages. | ||
