Walkthroughs vs Summaries[]

There's a major inconsistency in the way level articles are written. Generally, it seems that the older games are written as walkthroughs (with specific sections, screenshots and video links) while the more recent games are written as summaries of the level's events. We can't have both -- if CoDwiki is meant to be an encyclopedia, then it can't be a guide, and vice versa.

The wording of the policy lends towards encouraging editors to write walkthroughs as independent projects, and in my opinion they should be off the wiki. There are plenty of walkthrough sites that provide the information needed to help players get through the games, and the more recent trend of summarising levels is more relevant to what game wikis generally cover.

Clarification on this policy and how to enforce it is requested. --Scottie theNerd 02:56, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
