Publishing Checklist
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Clear description | Players need to know what the upload does. |
| Correct tags | Tag spam makes Workshop search worse. |
| Credits | Missing credits create conflict and distrust. |
| Compatibility | Server admins need package and mutator class names. |
| Manual download | Workshop extraction can fail, so direct files help. |
| Whitelist status | Players care whether perk progression works. |
