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, the following genreless links may be used:
-[lines|§example-lines]
-[shading|§example-shading]
-[region division|§example-dissection]



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
===============

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 is not too confusing nor excessive

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 @@@


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. 
You may however @@@ express your interest @@@ in a particular genre (do state how you intend to contribute to the release, and please wait for a reply before starting).

## Changes

**2024-04-08** A table for upcoming genres was added, as well as more concrete information on claiming panels and metadata collection. Outdated criteria removed.
**2024-04-15** The table was improved with more precise scheduled implementation dates, claimable panels and metadata (with better text/icons), to increase previsibility and thus facilitate collaboration. Thanks @PinkHoodie and @AnuragSahay for embracing this process.
**2024-04-20** Instructions for suggesting a cover pic were added.
**2024-05-02** The genre porting schedule from May 2024 was created, aiming to give more advance notice for easier coordination.
**2024-05-14** Claimants will be visible from now on, so everyone is confident their claims are solid (@PinkHoodie)
**2024-07-06** New [#tags] section added
**2024-07-22** Links fixed (@Laclale)
**2024-08-08** Another link was fixed (@Xsheep) (cause: incorrect relative path)
