Terran Strategy Workshop

Introduction

This is a rough guide to what topics can and need to be addressed on Liquipedia to have a complete understanding of all the Terran matchups, with all relevant builds available. Hopefully having a guideline like this will give potential contributors a place to start.

• In Progress articles are those that are currently up but not near a state of completion.
• Need To Be Made articles simply haven't been made yet, and lastly
• Complete signals articles that, unless there are changes in the pro scene, contain all relevant strategy information and do not need to be worked on any more.

While some articles may be near this point now they are being left as 'In Progress' as new contributors might have some useful points to add. Of course, all articles, even ones that are complete, should be continually updated with new VODs illustrating the relevant build.

Ideally there should be two sections, one for builds and the other for ingame decision making aspects and how to react to/counter frequently used strategies. For now this section will be called techniques as reactions does not include everything there but a more encompassing name would be good.

As there will undoubtedly be necessary articles that aren't listed below, and new strategies will be developed, this list will need to be updated with new builds.

For those who do not feel confident contributing strategical insights, an important job that needs to be done is renaming and merging articles. This list and the strategy overview section ideally should be matching. If this isn't of interest perhaps consider jotting down some VODs that show strategies successfully implemented. Frequent live SC viewers can help contribute to Liquipedia a great deal with minimal effort, since they are well aware of what goes on in recent matches and can regularly add VODs to relevant articles as they finish.

About the 2 Fac articles (TvP)

Several "old-school" 2 Factory builds are cluttering up the Strategy column without being of much actual use. Namely: Nada, Joyo, Gundam rushes. They have been summarized in the 2 Factory Builds article now. However, this article looks fairly messy with three complete BOs in it.

Suggestion

1. Remove those old builds from the overview page
2. Remove complete BOs from 2 Factory Builds and give a short description of each build, highlighting its differences from the others, strengths and weaknesses
3. Retain the individual articles but add a header that says "this strategy is outdated in the current meta game" (date time) (maybe it's possible to create an Outdated template)
