Introduction
Event Promotion on the Team Fortress Wiki is a project organized by RJackson & ran by select members of the Team Fortress Wiki staff. The project intends to make use the Wiki's very public & regularly accessed Main Page to promote events happening within the Team Fortress Community. There are a set of rules & regulations in order to have an event promoted by the Wiki, and events must adhere to set criteria to be considered legible.
Rules & Regulations
- One-off or first-time events get priority on the Main Page over regularly ran events.
- We understand events are tough to run, and in order to help new events establish recognition for themselves, we will give them precedence over regularly-run events on the Main Page.
- Priority is given to events that are the soonest to begin.
- Events to be promoted must be submitted to us at least 1 week prior to the events beginning.
- If the event has a "sign-ups" stage, you must submit the promotion application 1 week prior to sign-ups beginning.
- Events will be taken off the main page if any of the following conditions are met:
- The event is considered lower-priority than the event(s) replacing it (See the above rules).
- The event has become closed to new participants.
- Similarly, if the event is near it's ending date and it's unfeasible for new participants to enter in-time (e.g. The Polycount event, the KritzKast Meet The Demo Uncensored event), then the event will meet this condition.
- The event has been requested (by the event organisers) to be removed.
Event Criteria
- Sufficient community acceptance.
- We will promote events that the TF2 community have expressed interest within (We must not be the first port of call for promoting your event).
- We will not promote events that a chunk of the TF2 community wouldn't touch with a barge pole.
- Similarly, we will not promote events that support violation of the Steam Subscriber Agreement or could be considered fraudulent.
- Well-organised.
- We will promote events that have been sufficiently planned in advance & are solid to go-ahead.
- We will not promote events that have been thrown together in an evening & aren't 100% confirmed to happen.
- Open to a wide audience.
- We will promote events that are open to a chunk of the TF2 Community.
- Events targeting large regional groups ("Europe", "North America"), or events with no regional restrictions are acceptable.
- We will not promote events that are closed to a substantial size of the TF2 Community.
- Events with restrictions such as: "country only!", "language only!", "Members of xyz.com only!"; will not be accepted.
- We will promote events that are open to a chunk of the TF2 Community.
How to get your event promoted
- What will the proposal process be & how will we decide which events we promote.
- To be decided.
