Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Monotype Analyses: Resources

[Eien]

The Quality Control (QC) Teams
The Quality Control team is responsible to ensure every analysis is up to the high standards Smogon expects for its content. These analyses are being viewed by thousands of individuals across the world, so a high standard of quality is necessary.

If the QC team does not think your analysis is up to on-site standards, they have the right to reassign or reject it. Make sure you familiarize yourself with C&C standards if you wish to prevent this from being the case.

Monotype QC Team:

[Eien]

Welcome Misaka Mikoto to the Monotype QC team!

And a big thank you to Wanka for all of his hard work, he'll be stepping down from the Monotype QC team.

 

[Eien]

Please welcome terrors to the Monotype QC team! He's one of our best writers and has been doing a great job with amateur QCs too!

 

[Eien]

Acknowledging activity as of late, the Monotype QC team has quite a few changes to make.

First, shoutouts to SirSkit, Zarif, Paleo, and Clearly who will all be stepping down. Thanks to all of you for helping out for so long!

Now, please also welcome our new QC members: Izaya, iLlama, KevinELF, and Moosical!

 

[Eien]

Couple new QC team changes:

Please welcome Tyke to the QC team!

I'd also like to extend a huge thank you to both Izaya and terrors for how much they helped QC and write many of our analyses over the past year. terrors is stepping down and Izaya's activity has waned, so both will be leaving the QC team.

 

[Eien]

Courtesy of Tyke, we now have a spreadsheet detailing what analyses and writeups are still needed. You may view it here. Thanks for putting this together!

Hi all! We're moving towards crediting everyone for their hard work right on the smogdex so whenever someone reads an analysis, they'll see whose effort got put into making it happen. Here's an example of what it looks like right now: https://www.smogon.com/dex/sm/pokemon/heatran/ credits are at the top and bottom.

For this purpose, if you could start logging who's contributed to your analysis, that would be a great help, although if you're lazy, poor Vid and I will do it for you anyway. Here's a template for you to use if you want to do it yourself. Simply copy paste it at the very end of your analysis after Checks and Counters and fill it in. You simply fill in the user's name first and the user's ID second. The <Type> should be replaced with whatever type your analysis is for. If your Pokemon only has one type, you can just remove the line altogether without issue.

You need to have [CREDITS]! This is placed after Checks and Counters, so the very last thing in your post would be this.
