doomhammer99, when you post a public resource you have to accept the consequences of criticism, which, in this very case you actively and provocatively ignore. The healthiest thing to do is to ask the reviewer to submit additional information and suggestions.

And yes, to be less off-topic, you are here to provide a special Spell Template. The first template is enough for the public to get the point. However, this is not a tutorial, it's what you called it: a template.

Edit: As far as I can see, there are additional templates in the Miscellaneous Tutorials section. These cannot really stay here, they should be hosted in the respective sections.
 
Well I had a discussion a while back for posting templates. Since there is no real other "proper" place to post it, I decided that it would be okay if it was put in the tutorials section. We have had a few "site-specific" tutorials so I figured that these would be okay to have. Overall, if something is helpful and does not really have a place somewhere else then I will put it here. (you can see http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...um-standards-expectations-information-217475/ for more info on why/what exactly)

As for why I approved this, I suppose it is mostly because it shows an example of the tab feature. Also, it looks pretty nice (compared to most bland map descriptions) so it is still a step up from most things. Of course, there may be "better" ways of presenting a map, but it is really subjective.

I do agree with you guys that this is kind of a simple topic and may not be exactly necessary, but I figured it was decent enough to tip the scales.
