==Open to suggestions==
==Bus classification==
Hi all, admin here.
Hi all.


Feel free to share any suggestions that can help improve sgWiki, which includes improving/revamping the guidelines, which were too harsh on our former and existing editors.
As [https://sgwiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk:SMB315C&diff=prev&oldid=715717 Hearmeout mentioned], the following reclassifications have been proposed to better align with community usage:


Just a heads up, I will not be imposing any penalty on any disruptive editing for now, with an exemption for individuals who deliberately harass any of the existing or inactive users here.
* CRRC CSR6120GLEVD2 → CRRC '''eD12'''
* CRRC TEG6125BEV03 → CRRC '''C12'''
* MAN ND323F → MAN '''A95'''
* MAN NG363F → MAN '''A24'''
* MAN NL323F → MAN '''A22'''
* Yutong ZK6125BEVGS → Yutong '''E12DD'''
* Yutong ZK6128BEVG → Yutong '''E12'''
* Zhongtong LCK6126EVG → Zhongtong '''N12'''
* Zhongtong LCK6126EVGS → Zhongtong '''N12D'''


Also, I would like to thank every editor who invested time and effort in keeping the wiki running. Appreciate it a lot.
Community feedback on these proposed changes is welcome. Thank you.
 
Cheers,

== Suggestions ==
 
===1. Revamp the Guidelines===
 
'''Tone down harsh wording'''
 
Replace rigid, punitive language ("will be blocked", "strictly prohibited") with more constructive phrasing ("please avoid", "may be reverted", "we encourage"). This helps new editors feel guided, not threatened.
 
'''Tiered expectations'''
 
Create different sets of rules for:
 
New editors (basic formatting, citing, no vandalism).
 
Experienced editors (style consistency, formatting details, advanced citations).
This avoids overwhelming beginners with complex standards.
 
'''Positive framing'''
 
Showcase "good practices" with examples rather than just "do nots." For example, before/after edits illustrating clean formatting or proper references.
 
===2. Improve Onboarding===
 
'''Beginner-friendly sandbox/tutorial'''
 
A clear "Start here" page where new editors can practice formatting without consequences.
 
'''Mentorship or buddy system'''
 
Experienced editors can volunteer to guide newcomers for their first few edits.
 
'''Quick-start guides'''
 
Condensed cheat sheets (e.g., "Top 5 things to know before editing") instead of making users scroll through long rule pages.
 
===3. Community Culture===
 
'''Encourage collaboration, not policing'''
Replace strict "enforcement" with "community improvement." For example, instead of scolding mistakes, allow small fixes by others and leave a polite edit summary explaining the change.
 
'''Recognition'''
 
Badges or userbarns for milestones (100 edits, 1,000 edits, quality contributions).
 
Monthly "Featured Editor" to spotlight consistent contributors.
 
'''Feedback channels'''
 
Make a dedicated, low-barrier space (like a Help Desk or Discord server) for editors to ask questions without judgment.
 
===4. Editorial Process===
 
'''Soft reverts'''
 
Instead of instantly deleting new edits, consider a system where questionable edits are flagged for review rather than reverted outright.
 
'''Revise not punish'''
 
When rules are broken (except vandalism), allow editors to revise their work with guidance instead of issuing warnings/blocks too quickly.
 
'''Consensus-driven updates'''
 
Revise guidelines collaboratively (maybe a yearly community consultation) so editors feel ownership, not top-down enforcement.
 
===5. Transparency & Evolution===
 
'''Public changelog for rules'''
 
Editors can see when/why guidelines were updated. This builds trust.
 
'''Community polls'''
 
Use surveys/votes to decide on big rule changes (e.g., formatting standards, citation requirements).
 
'''“Editor feedback loop”(What we are doing now)'''
 
Periodically ask: What rule feels most unfair/unclear? and adjust accordingly.
 
👉 In short: the key is softening the tone, lowering entry barriers, and building a sense of belonging rather than fear of punishment.

I have noticed that there is a facebook group for reporting bus advertisements. We can use the data

  • MAN ND323F → MAN A95
  • MAN NG363F → MAN A24
  • MAN NL323F → MAN A22
  • Yutong ZK6125BEVGS → Yutong E12DD
  • Yutong ZK6128BEVG → Yutong E12
  • Zhongtong LCK6126EVG → Zhongtong N12
  • Zhongtong LCK6126EVGS → Zhongtong N12D

Community feedback on these proposed changes is welcome. Thank you.
