Manny, do you really call that a tutorial? you don't NEED to flatten the ground for a road, the flatten function rarely works the way it should and you don't go through the whole thing in a step by step process... all you do infact, is practically link to the paving skill. I was just hoping for something a little more definitive like the Woodcutting or Pottery Tutorials that guides you through virtually the entire process as though you know nothing, which in many cases is true, thus the tutorial, instead of divying up the information by name... Or am i just being pedantic?--[[User:Karmien Hearthflame|Karmien Hearthflame]] 08:49, 25 April 2007 (CDT)

Manny, do you really call that a tutorial? you don't NEED to flatten the ground for a road, the flatten function rarely works the way it should and you don't go through the whole thing in a step by step process... all you do infact, is practically link to the paving skill. I was just hoping for something a little more definitive like the Woodcutting or Pottery Tutorials that guides you through virtually the entire process as though you know nothing, which in many cases is true, thus the tutorial, instead of divying up the information by name...

That page is listed here because I merged the road construction tutorial with the paving skill page and moved them here from the newbie links page. I think having seperate tutorials from the skill pages isn't good. Information will often get unnecessarily redundant, incorrect and contradictory. Users will often not know where to look for the information they need.
As for the leveling information in the paving skill page, that was added by Maluraq because he thought it was relevant to paving, and I have to agree with that. Considering the page is about paving, I think he has adequately explained on how to level, and when the flattening action might be useful. The flattening action itself works exactly the way it should, and it has a more detailed page of it's own explaining explaining flattening step-by-step. Manny 11:00, 25 April 2007 (CDT)
