:::I don't have a problem with a page called [[Wikipedia:Signpost tutorial series]] as a sort of ''list'', but it's a disservice to editors to imply that these tutorials are different than other tutorials (yes, there are others - just search the [[WP:EIW|Editor's index]] for ''tutorial''), or to try to get readers to start at such a page. (On the other hand, something like [[Wikipedia:Tutorials]] would be nice.) Similarly, I don't think that a navigational template ''solely'' for tutorials that happen to be in the ''Signpost'' is a good idea. A template for ''all'' tutorials - definitely. -- <font style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:15px;">[[User:John Broughton|John Broughton]] </font> [[User talk:John Broughton |(♫♫)]] 16:44, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

::::I agree that there should definitely be a separate "updatable" version, and a hat note or something similar about this being the archive or "snapshot" version. But should that version be under the official sounding [[WP:PN|project namespace]], especially given the presence of other tutorials? A tutorials page with ''all'' (well known?) tutorials might work, as soon as someone defines "well known," (or even just "known") because a large number of experienced wikipedians have subpages with tutorials, and a super-long list is not the most newbie friendly thing you can make... This being in the signpost ''in theory'' should make it a shoo in for this, but without a definition, what do we do about [[Special:Mypage/tutorial]] and similar pages? A large number of editors have such pages, as I said before... sorry about the repetition, normally my brain would have filtered it out :). Also, I may be jumping to conclusion about how many "a large number" is... --'''<font color="red">[[User:Thinboy00|Thin]]</font><fontspan colorstyle="greencolor:red;">Thin</span>]][[User talk:Thinboy00|boy]]</font><fontspan colorstyle="bluecolor:green;">boy</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Thinboy00|<span style="color:blue;">00]]</fontspan>]]''' @912, i.e. 20:53, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

:::::I'd be interested in any tutorial pages ''not'' on this list; these are the ones in userspace that I know of. In addition, there are roughly a half-dozen projectspace pages with the word "tutorial" in their title, not counting pages related to [[Wikipedia:Tutorial]]. So, not so many that I know of, but I welcome additions to this list:
