If you’re talking about the New Onboarding & Review Flow. There should be a little info presentation pages before unlocking the reviews and nomination feature.
Most do not even check the criteria IMO. That would be why discussions and questions are encouraged. The links are there to serve as reference towards why a certain decision is reached or to clarify what is not covered by the main criteria pages.
There are even tidbits about location pins, edits, and photos that is expounded within the help pages. It is not an excuse to shrug them off as not applicable.
I do agree that there must be more improvements regarding the conformity and synchronization of each page. We also have to address that there are nuances towards reflecting the real world, making a database out of it within legal and logistical limits, and communication.
Without official confirmation why a certain guideline exist, we can approximate the intent. Blurry information is not an excuse not to go by guidelines, published in multiple pages. In cases unsure, the “skip” is available.
