User talk:Ultra64Detective2401/How to Not Make a Ztar Article

hey are you sure you understand what a ztar article is? ztar article are pages that have already been deleted that I think someone might be interested in reading, so I archived it. this is just a guide on how to not make a bad page.


 * It has to be bad as well to be a ztar article, though. Sure, you can also avoid getting a Ztar article by making your article as bland as possible, but who wants to do that? Saying “just don’t make pages” or “be as boring as possible” wouldn’t make a very good guide. Also, if a page is bad enough, it very likely WILL be deleted, meaning it’s already halfway to becoming a Ztar Article. Surely, if the page wasn’t bad it would never have gotten deleted at all, right?Ultra64Detective2401 (talk) 17:41, 12 May 2021 (UTC)

still though this is really just a guid on how to not make a bad page. it's out of their control if the article gets ztar'd or not.


 * If it’s not bad, it’s guaranteed not to be Ztar’d. Yes, it’s impossible to guarantee yourself a Ztar, but it is possible to guarantee you won’t get Ztar’d. Which is what this guide is for. Plus, the guide isn’t how to make a good page or how to make it not bad at all. You can still make a bad page while following all the guidelines outlined here. (For instance, Robo-Mario fits all the guidelines here. I do plan on making another guide on spotting sus reports that spots things that aren’t Ztar-level bad that Robo-Mario would fail at, but that is not this guide.) It just won’t be bad enough that it has a chance of getting deleted and then Ztar’d.

Also, here’s the post where I first mentioned making this guide in the first place. As you can see, I said there I’d be focused on the “don’t make pages THAT BAD” portion, and not how to not make them interesting enough to get Ztar’d, because making pages interesting is a GOOD thing. This was the idea from the start, and that stayed when I actually made this guide as well.
