For the same reason, active claims expire after a week of "silence" -- reporting back any progress/problems/predicted date usually suffices to gain an extra week.

If you are the author of a new genre, not yet in the plans, please read [how to request an implementation|implementation] first. Claiming genre panels #=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=# Please familiarise yourself with the [Rule Panel Format|panels] prior to comitting to making a genre. By @@@ claiming the panels @@@ you may be pointed towards a draft implementation. Shall one not exist yet, try to use a genre containing the same base elements. Drawing a Cover Pic #=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=# A //cover picture// is used to illustrate the genre across the site. It should: - represent a unique puzzle in its unsolved state - display every aux mark type at least once - depict a variety of errors scattered across the board, but in a way that the base ruleset is still apparent from looking at the picture. To suggest a cover pic, simply draw it as a normal puzzle, and obtain its url, either directly or via the [[export]] button (taking care to toggle the option to include the solution and aux marks). The suggested cover pic url should be @@@ sent by email @@@ Collecting Metadata #=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=# The following genre metadata is required for a complete implementation: [#Designation], [#Authorship] and [#Interlinks]. There are some [#optional extras] as well. Designation =========== The **genre name** is required. Please answer the following questions: - are there alternate genre names? - are there "confounding" genres/variants with same name? | :info: to answer these questions, please use the big genre databases listed at the [Paper Puzzle Masterlist]! Where possible, genre names should be kept in their original language. However, if a name requires transliteration to the latin alphabet, please suggest an appropriate name. Authorship ========== Please collect the genre's: - author name - creation date (first release date) - link to author's genre page (if available) - link to the first publication page (if different, if available), such as a puzzle magazine where the genre first appeared. Suggestions: | :info: A great source for classic genres is the [WPC wiki|https://wpcunofficial.miraheze.org/wiki/]. Interlinks =========== Please attempt to find: - @puzzlesquare id (the number after ´´puzsq.logicpuzzle.app/?kind=´´) - @puzzlink id (the word after ´´puzz.link/p?´´) - @janko's id (the word after ´´janko.at/Raetsel´´) - @ropeko's id (the number after ´´https://www.logic-puzzles.ropeko.ch/php/db/puzzle.php?id=´´) These links will be displayed in the genre page. |:info: if no puzzlesquare id is yet available, you are expected to register the genre in that platform after the release, and then send the id. Optional Extras =============== Recommended variants -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- If there is a particular variant that would be a great fit for the genre, please suggest it. While there is no guarantee that it will be added, knowing about possible variants during a genre's implementation may guide it so that adding that variant in the future is easier. Tags -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Start by finding similar genres in the [tag] page and note which tags they currently use. Then compile a list of suggested tags for the current genre. Candidate genres #=#=#=#=#=#=#=# Candidate genres are listed here, for self-reference only, in no particular order.

Active claims now expire automatically after a week, but may be renewed.
