Keep In Mind

 * Walkthoughs can be but are not necessarily formal, many of the finished walkthroughs are descriptive and talkative, rather than formal. As long as it is an actual walkthrough.
 * Do not create a walkthrough containing personal experiences written in the form "I found pills here" or "This editor was attacked by a Smoker at this point". Instead, replace it with something along the lines of "Pills can often be found here." or "Smokers can set up brilliant ambushes at this location. Be careful.".
 * Do not sign your name on any areas of the walkthrough.
 * If a separate "Tips" section or something similar exists, try to incorporate it under the currently existing headings, for example "Strategy" or "Trivia".
 * If you are unsure of how the body of the walkthrough's text should be written, check the finished ones for a further, in-depth layout.
 * The goal is to guide the player through the level, not give completely vague directions and locations.
