'Tutorial' prefix to tutorial pages

I notice that currently only a few of the tutorials have a prefix to the page name. I think the rest of the tutorials should be made to follow suit. As there may still be pages that are linking to them the old pages can be used with re-directs to the new location. We can then use the 'what links here' feature to update all the pages.

Text vs. video

I think videos are a much more effective format for tutorials -- faster to explain and easier to understand. Any objections on adding a list of links to tutorials on YouTube? — Elembis (talk) 21:33, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

There is already a list of some youtube videos. The one thing that the textual tutorials have, is the fact that can make use of the wiki system. For instance, dozen tutorials can all mention that rockets need an ASAS unit, and just link to the ASAS page to explain what the hell it does, such interlinking is harder to manage with videos. You also need to consider that some people prefer reading tutorials, rather then watching and that the textual tutorials are easier to update. Thecoshman (talk) 07:49, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Tutorials with and without a space after Tutorial:

Hey there, when I'm searching for a tutorial I'm not sure if it has a space after the prefix or not. Maybe this should be make consistent? I would prefer without. — xZise [talk] 12:19, 16 April 2013 (CDT)

Space Plane Tutorials

Hi, I'm having trouble working with Space Planes, and while I can build a better Space Plane every time I try, it would be an enormous help if someone could write up 'Basic', 'Moderate', and 'Advanced' tutorials for building and flying SPs. Then maybe someone could make a SP tutorial for getting to Mun, or Minmus, or Duna, Eve, Moho, Jool etc.

Thank You!

Forum posts?

Is there a policy about adding forum posts that function as tutorials (or are intended as tutorials)? I'm asking because there's some forum posts that have served as the basis for calculators and they're pretty solid as far as information content and presentation goes and I'd like to add them, but I'm unsure as to whether I'd have to write up a "Tutorial:" page or just link to the forum post itself (outside of youtube links there only seems to be a single dropbox link here). --MechaLynx (talk) 07:33, 19 April 2014 (CDT)
