This is the default template for a video index page.
Player | Score | Platform | Stage | Video | Comment |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
- | - | - | - | - | - |
To generate one place the following content:
{| class="wikitable sortable" style="text-align: center; width:100%;" |- ! style="width:10%;" | Player ! style="width:10%;" | Score ! style="width:10%;" | Platform ! style="width:10%;" | Stage ! style="width:10%;" class="unsortable" | Video ! style="width:50%;" class="unsortable" | Comment |- | | | | | | |- |}
Tables can be sortable by writing wikitable sortable instead of only wikitable, you can specify which fields you don't want to be sortable by using the attribute class="unsortable". You can add more cells for different cases, such as the ship used (though this is usually a header) or difficulty setting.
Headers are generally used for individual ships (if the game has any), notably different releases (regional differences, "Black Label" style releases for CAVE games or ports to inferior hardware), different game modes, guides or others.
Notes
- Every cell minus the Comment cell should have a width of 10%.
- Do not write the score without commas.
- Platform indicates the version of the game (Arcade, Sega Saturn, Xbox 360, etc). You can specify if the game was being emulated or played on authentic hardware, for example Arcade (MAME) though this is not mandatory.
- Stage simply indicates how far the run made it. The format used is Loop-Stage. When stage progression is presented differently in-game you can also include that: example. Games with a single loop a clear should be labelled All, and [Loop number]-All for games with finite multiple loops. Games that feature optional TLBs it must be clarified if a run reached said boss, like in DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou.
- The Video cell has an external link to the run from beginning to end, In some cases a timestamp may have to be used, such as if the run is part of a longer livestream or it was simply divided in multiple parts. For the first scenario Youtube can quickly get the timestamp you want by Right-clicking and choosing "Copy video URL at current time". Twitch can also do this by clicking the settings symbol and selecting "Copy video URL at [time]". When a run was uploaded in multiple parts list them in order and include the name of the website for the first part. Example: Youtube 1 2 3 4.
- The Comment cell should have a larger width than the rest, as it tends to contain more information, roughly half of the table but this depends on the number of cells.
- Last but not least, include [[Category:Video_Index]] at the end of the page, this is essential to categorize the article and make it easy to find.
