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?

Support for microblogging sites (such as Twitter) is planned.

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.

1. 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 .
2. 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 .

This work is using way too many sources!

Use the multisource meta tag.
