Written by {{dani_phantump}}. Especially important when writing sources for a match!

Theatrically or independently released films and short films are written in italics with release year in parentheses, such as Only Lovers Left Alive(2013). Golden age animated shorts(old cartoons) that were shown in theaters count for this designation, and are usually prefaced with any starring characters, the series it was otherwise released under, or the director who made it, such as "the Bugs Bunny short Tortoise Beats Hare(1941)" or "the Merrie Melodies short Have You Got Any Castles?(1938)" or "the Tex Avery short King-Sized Canary(1949)".

TV series, anime series and OVAs are written in italics with no release year to accomodate for the spans of time shows generally last as a minor formality, such as The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog or Devilman Crybaby. If an OVA is a single episode long, such as Mighty Bean(1989), this is appropriate to list a release year for.

Video games are written in italics with both the system the game was released for, or otherwise the version that was used in a match, along with the release year both in parentheses, such as Super Mario World(SNES, 1990) and Elden Ring(PC/PS4, 2022). Music used from video games are notated by potential song title in quotes, along with the game OST it's from, such as "the track "Hoohoo Mountaintop" from the Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga(GBA, 2003) OST."

Songs released by music artists are written in quotes with the release year in parentheses, either with the artist or band in front, such as "the Genesis song "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" (1986)", or after, such as ""Under Pressure"(1981) by Queen and David Bowie". Use cases for either will vary. Songs from film soundtracks are notated with the song in quotes and the film written in italics with release year in parenthesis, with the designation of the song being from its soundtrack, such as "the song "Ice Dance" from the Edward Scissorhands(1990) OST".

Internet videos or other tennis rounds/YTPs are generally written in quotes with the release year in parentheses if available, followed by the creator or uploader, such as "something for the hard of thinking"(2008) by conradslater. If the internet video used is unknown, nondistinct, or otherwise can't be found, a basic general description is acceptable. If the internet video is very context specific in what it depicts, a reproduction of its original title embedded with a link to that video is considered optimal, such as the various Touhou videos linked on the ChrisGendo vs. TheChutley vs. trepmaws(2010) page.

Images, soundbytes or meme content are usually given general descriptions, with source material recommended if possible. If the sources used are already documented by the players involved in some way, those can be used appropriately if there is no other way to notate or describe that source, usually with their wording in quotes to let the reader know that it's how that player describes it. An example of this is conradslater's usage of "wairwolf screaming at a snake".

==Creating a Tool Page==

Tool pages (like video editors) are only necessary if they have documentation that goes beyond a simple summary, such as tips and tricks. When this is the case, there may already be an entry on its related category page, such as [[List of Video Editors]]. If not, or if you realize an expansion is possible, make a page and add the related data.

==Citing Sources==

Make sure to cite everything that you find, if possible. It is important we show our integrity! If adding sources, they will appear as a "Resources" section at the bottom of the article. Make sure to add a "Sources"/etc. header at the bottom or it'll just append to the last section, which could look cluttered and messy.
