Grading System

If you're not sure whether your mod belongs on the Wiki, use our grading system to guide you. We do not actually keep track of mods' points, neither do we use them for any serious judgment whatsoever, but it's an informal guideline that gives an idea of what is expected. Really generally, if your mod adds up to 10 points or more, it probably has qualities suitable to the Wiki.

• Grading system list. For now, see below.

To-Do

• Add "positive feedback" grade, and maybe subtract for "negative feedback"

Personal Assessment

Max: 20 points; Qualification: 10 points
+3 Is it a "big-name" mod? (Does tons of the community talk about it and would this name be challenged in any way? A good rule is that if you're kinda' unsure, it's probably not "big-name".)
+4 Has it had an MB topic that survived with relatively plausible popularity? (Three-weeks-plus with discussion)
+3 Is it on the Addons page?
    OR, +2 If it's not on the Addons page, does it have an MB release alongside with a topic?
+4 Does it have a significant number of ''started'' custom levels? (I imagine 4-5 would be minimum)
+3 Does it use ''started'' SOCs to significantly customize in-game Things?
+2 Are there ''started'' custom unlockables?
+2 Is there a number of custom graphics?
+1 Is there more than one boss or other significant challenges? (Custom not necessary)

+5 Is it an EXE mod that has a number of significant features?
-10 Is it a skin or skin pack?
-10 Is it a music wad?
-5 Is it primarily a compilation of levels?
-5 Is it based on fandom in any way? (Fan characters, RPing, hangout, etc.)
-10 Info is based on speculation or content that wasn't started yet.
