What counts as a work?
What counts as an Otomad/YTPMV remains an unsettled topic. This website approaches this question pragmatically. Editors should mostly consider whether it is useful for the work to be indexed as an Otomad/YTPMV. In cases of dispute, the admin team has the final say. In particular:
- Medleys themselves should be registered as songs, not works.
Will you support more platforms?
This is not a current priority. Although support for microblogging sites (such as Twitter) is being discussed.
Which tag should be the base tag when performing a merge?
There is no singular answer. If the tags are in different languages:
- Tags in the Meta category should prioritize English as a base if it did not previously exist on an external site whose main language is not English.
- Otherwise, prioritize the language used wherever the tag is most active (usually obvious for Source and Creator).
What happens if a song or a creator is being sampled?
If the subject of a creator tag or a song tag is being sampled in a work, attach the tag and tick the special checkbox labelled “used as sample”. In other words, do not create tags such as creator_name_(source).
There is a self-referencing conflict with respect to the tag category.
- If a creator makes a work which samples themselves: The authorship takes precedence, do not check the “used as sample” box. Use the separate tag that refers to “self-sourcing”.
- Sampling a song to make a work that has the same song as a BGM: The BGM takes precedence, do not check the “used as sample” box. Use the separate tag that refers to “same-song work”.
This work is using way too many sources!
Use the multisource meta tag, there is not much else to do.
