This section is meant to receive all the tutorials you could write about pretty much anything related to the Galaxy Editor. The goal is to keep it clean so please do not post anything other than tutorials.
Title Format
In order to easily understand what the tutorial is about you must use the correct title format:
[Tag] Tutorial Title
[Tutorial] is NOT an appropriate tag. It's in the tutorial section; we already know it's a tutorial!
Keep it brief. Don't make your title a sentence.
Bad: [Model] How to reskin an existing unit to make a new unit in Blender
Good: [Model] Reskinning Models in Blender
Common Tags
Below you will find a list of commonly used tags. You may choose from any of the below tags, or create your own. The process of creating a custom tag is explained below.
[Data]
Data customization
[Trigger]
Galaxy Scripting
[Terrain]
Terrain modification
[Texture]
Texture creation and integration
[Model]
Modeling
[Misc]
Everything else that doesn't belong in previous categories. You might want to make a custom tag instead (see below).
Combining Multiple Tags
If your tutorial covers more than one topic, you may want to use more than one tag. If you plan on using more than one tag, use the following format:
[XML, Galaxy, Terrain] or [Model, Texture]
Custom Tags
As a general rule of thumb, if your tutorial does not fit into any of the above options, you should use a custom tag that you think is appropriate. When creating a custom tag, use the following guidelines:
Keep it simple. Don't start with "How to" or write a sentence. ("How to" is okay in the title, just not the tag).
Make a tag that encompasses everything in your tutorial. For example, if your tutorial is about how to create missiles, don't tag your tutorial [Marauder Modding], tag it [Missiles] or even [Data].
If you make a specific tag, you might also want to include the "parent tag" in combination. For example, [Data, Missiles].
Remember that people will be searching for your tutorial. Think about what keywords people who are searching for your tutorial might be likely to use.
If you are unsure if you should use a custom tag, use one of the default tags.
Custom Tag Examples
Good
[XML] - Creating an Uberlisk
[Galaxy] - Structures explained
[Blender, Model] - How to Import WoW Models
Bad
[How To Make a Good Map] - Making a good map
[Fun With Flames] - Modding the Firebat
[Tutorial] - Making a Zombie Defense Map

Using Improper Format
If I (TacoManStan) see you using an improper format in your title, I will likely rename your title for you. I will do my best to choose an appropriate title, but the title may not be to your specific liking. To avoid this, make sure you use the proper format.
