If anyone has any ideas to make it better, I will take their input into consideration and update this. Also, if any of the following categories do not fit into your script, feel free to remove them (for example, version history if your script has only one version). The only categories which are not optional is the Header, the Script (or Demo), the Features, and the Instructions.

It's not a requirement, but it is a good guideline as to what kind of information should be given when publishing a script.

And I think it looks pretty.

But the answer to your question is no.



The only real requirement without which a script topic might be removed is that you need to make it clear who should get credit if it is used, especially if you aren't the author of the script.

Also, something that says what the script does, like a description or a screenshot is generally helpful.

I would like to post my scripts here as well but may I ask a question? Is RMRK in a script to post system? By this meaning that we should post the script here. Or is it okay if we link them to our own blog or to our own website where we they can get the script in?

If it is just a link and nothing else, then that is an advertisement, and you'd need to do it through the Poster Board. However, as long as you give a description of the script and say who to credit (and it doesn't have to match this template), then it is totally fine to link to another site when sharing the actual script. So yes, it is OK not to post the code itself on this site.
