Song Titles/Draft

2025-10-26T02:52:11Z

Mchangrh: v0.2

{{Draft}}

This is under active discussion, please direct all feedback at the discord thread: https://discord.com/channels/603643120093233162/1422821819362316329

Version 0.2

The current v0 is loosely based on https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/w/User:Hmmm#WIP,_please_ignore, https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Titles and https://help.apple.com/itc/musicstyleguide/en.lproj/static.html

----
The following issues are undecided and have yet to reach consensus, so are used interchangeably
* "Music Video" vs "MV"
* "feat." vs "ft."
* Inclusion of "Official" prefix for Music/ Lyric Video
* Artist / Title Order
** Always Artist first
** Always Title First
** Follow language/ Family name order
*** Eastern name order Title - Artist
*** Western name order Artist - Title
* Extra song information
** Unlimited vs Limited parenthesis
** Square brackets for subsequent metadata (similar to TuneCore, iTunes)
** Priority/ Order of parenthesis
*** Artists > Song > Video
----

Titles for songs should follow the following general format: <code>Artist - Song Title (Extra title information)</code>

== Qualification ==
Qualification for "Songs" follows {{Category|Non-music}}, for videos showcasing music as their primary contents.

== Artist(s) ==

Artist(s)/ Performer(s) should have case and styling preserved to a reasonable degree if possible. Multiple artists should be separated with commas <code>,</code> and if there are too many artists and/or the length goes beyond 81 characters, it should be replaced in it's entirety with "Various Artists" <ref>https://osu.ppy.sh/wiki/en/Ranking_criteria/Metadata</ref> '''TODO: change 81 character limit to something that better fits DeArrow'''

Featured artists should be appended in extra metadata.

* Subtitles should not be included. This includes the following:
** Instrument
** Band
** Birth/ Death Date(s)
* If full name is used, follow their preferred localization
* If name in another language is given, prefer it over translation/romanization? '''(VOTE)'''
* Voicebanks added as featured artists

=== Groups (TOVOTE, seeking feedback) ===

Groups should be cited as such unless they are known specifically for their solo performances, in which case it should be replaced with only their solo names, never both.

Conflicting Examples
* "BABY GRAVY" (bbno$ and Yung Gravy) [https://open.spotify.com/artist/46VgqDxDEn45y1t0zBS7Do Spotify Bio] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2mcU86OzD0 YouTube: Goodness Gracious]
* K/DA (Virtual K-Pop Group) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K/DA Wikipedia: K/DA] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOxkGD8qRB4 YouTube: "POP/STARS"]
** Members all credited individually but compose cast of K/DA (2 members from (G)I-dle
* HUNTR/X (Fictional group) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yebNIHKAC4A YouTube: "Golden"]
** VAs are not singing voice, credited to EJAE, Audrey Nuna, Rei Ami [https://kpop.fandom.com/wiki/HUNTR/X k-pop wiki]
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1T0qdCfgeHwyeut6brW14dTZQYXhADKV4mPa1-38jfiM/edit?usp=sharing
Also debated if CV would be applicable

== Titles ==
Based on previous precedence https://discord.com/channels/603643120093233162/897699762738966558/1167120988819968091, titles should be formatted in Sentence case, even if it is stylized differently. Additional metadata should be moved to Extra Metadata

== Extra Metadata ==
Extra metadata should be enclosed in parenthesis <code>(...)</code>, one per extra metadata and modifiers formatted in lowercase
This includes the following, in the specified format
* Featured artist(s)
** (feat. Artist Name[, Artist Name])
** '''''VOTE: (feat. vs ft.)'''''
** Should always be separated with commas and follow Artist(s) formatting
* Cover, (re)mix

If the song is a mashup between multiple clearly identifiable songs and doesn't already have an original title, they should be separated with a slash (i.e. <code>Artist - Song one / Artist - Song two</code>). If the title becomes too long, use a descriptive title instead.

=== Untitled Songs (VOTE) ===
Untitled songs should use the title from any other official source of metadata if available.

=== VOTE ===
'''OR a [[wikipedia:ISO_8601|ISO8601]] timestamp (<code>YYYY-MM-DD</code>)'''

'''OR''' a community/ descriptive title

=== Language ===

Examples

* IU - eight (에잇) (prod, ft. SUGA) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_IYVichXbA YouTube]

== Misc ==

=== Special Characters ===
If a song title or artist name includes emojis or other special characters, use an alternate official name if it exists. Otherwise, follow the formatting conventions of the "remove emojis" option: convert emojis between letters to spaces, and remove other emojis.

This is under active discussion, please direct all feedback at the discord thread: https://discord.com/channels/603643120093233162/1422821819362316329

Version 0.1.2. The current focus is on Non-Classical works.

The current v0 is loosely based on https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/w/User:Hmmm#WIP,_please_ignore, https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Titles and https://help.apple.com/itc/musicstyleguide/en.lproj/static.html

----
The following issues are undecided and have yet to reach consensus, so are used interchangeably
* "Music Video" vs "MV"
* (Karaoke ver.) vs (Karaoke)
* "feat." vs "ft."
* Inclusion of "Official" prefix for Music/ Lyric Video
* Format of truly untitled songs
** ISO8601 date (YYYY-MM-DD)
** Official metadata, big newspapers
** Community-dictated title (community database, fangroups, etc.) '''(TODO: searchable term, clear source priority)'''
* Extra song information
** Unlimited vs Limited parenthesis
** Square brackets for subsequent metadata (similar to TuneCore, iTunes)
** Priority/ Order of parenthesis
*** Artists > Song > Video
* Cross-Language covers/ songs and naming
** '''(VOTE)''' Temporarily using the format <code>[Original Artist] - [Original name] ([Lang.] cover by, [Extra metadata]) | [Cover name]</code>
** Which language do we follow for translated covers
** Do we mix metadata
** e.g. Japanese or English title (or both?) if the song is in Japanese? Do we accept alternative title for unsearchable names?
** Should we add language identifier for covers in another song? Ex: (VI cover) for Vietnamese cover of a song
** If there are more than 2 covers in a language, consider including the translator name? <code>[Language] cover by [T. Artist], ft. [Singer]</code>
** In some quite rare cases, if most listeners of that covers may not care the original artist, then you can drop original artist field. For instance, if you retitle Katyusha covers in another language, you don't have to include it's original artists are ''Matvei Isaakovich Blante & Mikhail Vasilyevich''
* Medley
** Format: '''<code>[Artist / Various Artists] - [Medley name] (ft. [Name of the singers, if mentioned])</code>'''
** If there is no name can be given, or the medley is basically a dump of unrelated songs, should we mark that medley as untitled song?<br />
----

===== Users are encouraged to '''downvote''' and '''avoid making''' segments with the following issues: =====
* Doesn't fit the category it's in
**If the timing is correct, you can click [[File:Icon pencil.svg|16px|link=|alt=pencil icon]] and select "Change Category". This needs to be done in the notice that appears after skipping, not the popup.
* Includes information relevant to the main content of the video <ref>This does not apply to {{Category|Tangents/Jokes}}. See the wiki page for details</ref>
* The whole video is about (or closely related to) the thing you're making a segment on
** If all mentions cannot be cleanly cut or could show bias, don't include the sponsor disclosure and instead submit a [[Full Video Labels|Full Video Label]] for that category.
**Don't make segments covering the entire video
* The transition is poorly timed or not [[Advice for submitting|seamless]]
**Include segues<ref>Sections made specifically to smoothly move into a sponsor or other categories</ref> when possible and exclude any additional or irrelevant content not necessary for a seamless skip
**Seek frame-by-frame with <code>,</code> and <code>.</code> Segments should start '''''before'''''<ref>Test with preview, it's best to start it as early as possible that doesn't include content to account for any lag</ref> the visual change, or a little earlier if needed for audio, and end on the '''''first frame after''''' the segment
**Segments at the start should start at '''''00:00.0''''' and segments at the end should go to the very end of the video <ref>Make sure start segments start at exactly <code>0:0.0</code> . This can be done with the <code>Home</code> Key. Segments going until the end of the video should not end before the actual end. This can be done with the <code>End</code> key and on Vanced, the time might have to be rounded up to the next second</ref>
*Segment adds onto an existing bad segment. Instead, submit a new segment covering the entire section.
*Skips visuals that do not cover the entire screen (overlays or banners).
**If underlying audio fits into a category, consider [[Mute segment|Mute segments]]

'''If you have any questions about specifics, feel free to ask in [https://discord.gg/SponsorBlock Discord] or [https://matrix.to/#/#sponsor:ajay.app?via=ajay.app&via=matrix.org&via=mozilla.org Matrix]'''<br />
For more specifics on how to make high quality submissions, see [[Advice for submitting]].

== Category breakdown ==
A more visual representation in the form of a flow chart can be found [[Community#Media|in this article]].

=== Sponsor ===
{{main|Sponsor}}
Part of a video promoting a product or service not directly related to the creator. The creator will receive payment or compensation in the form of money or free products.

If the entire video is about the product or service, use a [[Full Video Labels|Full Video Label]].

=== Interaction Reminder (Subscribe) ===
{{main|Interaction Reminder (Subscribe)}}
Explicit reminders to like, subscribe or interact with them on any paid or free platform(s) (e.g. click on a video). If about something specific it should be [[Unpaid/Self Promotion]] instead.

Can be bundled with {{Category|Self Promotion}} into {{Category|Endcards/Credits}}<ref name=":0" />.

=== Unpaid/Self Promotion ===
{{main|Unpaid/Self Promotion}}

==== Self Promotion ====
Promoting a product or service that is directly related to the creator themselves. This usually includes merchandise or promotion of monetized platforms.

==== Unpaid Promotion ====
The creator will not receive any payment in exchange for this promotion. This includes charity drives or free shout outs for products or other people they like.

Can be bundled into {{Category|Endcards/Credits}}<ref name=":0">If it is '''impossible''' to cleanly cut or overlap the segments, {{Category|Interactions|nolink=1}} and {{Category|Self Promotion|nolink=1}} can be included in {{Category|Endcards|nolink=1}} if they also occur during the outro.</ref>.

=== Intermission/Intro Animation ===
{{main|Intermission/Intro Animation}}
Segments typically found at the start of a video that include an animation, still frame or clip which are also seen in other videos by the same creator.

This can include livestream pauses with no content (looping animations or chat windows) and Copyright/ Fair Use disclaimers.

Do not include disclaimers to protect viewers, preparation or cleanup clips and as a rule of thumb, speech should usually not be included.

Do not include skits, time-lapses, slow-motion clips (possibly {{Category|Tangents/Jokes}}).

Do not use this to skip past content to get to the main point of the video (see {{Category|Highlight}}).

=== Highlight ===
{{main|Highlight}}
Used to get to the point or highlight of a video.

Only submit the highlight with the highest priority. There can only be one highlight per video.

Use cases (from highest to lowest priority):
# Point/ most important part of the video.
# Part of the video referred to by the title.
# Part of the video referred to by the thumbnail.
# Part of the video referenced by a preview/ teaser.

=== Endcards/Credits (Outro) ===
{{main|Endcards/Credits}}
Typically near or at the end of the video when the credits pop up and/or endcards are shown. This should not be based solely on the YouTube annotations.

{{Category|Interaction Reminder (Subscribe)}} or {{Category|Self Promotion}} can be included<ref name=":0" />.

=== Preview/Recap ===
{{main|Preview/Recap}}
Collection of clips that show what is coming up in in this video or other videos in a series where all information is repeated later in the video.

Do not include recap clips that only appear in the video or clips from a recapped video that is not directly linked to the current video.

{{main|Hook/Greetings}}
Narrated trailers for the upcoming video, greetings and goodbyes. Do not include conclusions with information.

=== Tangents/Jokes ===
{{main|Tangents/Jokes}}
Tangents/ Jokes is only for tangential scenes that are not required to understand the main content of the video.

This can also include: Timelapses/ [[B-Roll]], Fake Sponsors and slow-motion clips that do not provide any context or are used as replays or B-roll.

=== Music: Non-Music Section ===
{{main|Music: Non-Music Section}}
Only to be used on videos which feature music as the primary content.

Segments should only include music not present in the official or Spotify music release.

Non-Music exists independently of other categories, so it is okay to overlap it with them.

Make sure to only include complete silence. Boost your audio as much as you can to avoid prematurely including any music.

=== Exclusive Access (full video label only) ===
{{main|Full Video Labels}}
When the creator showcases a product, service or location that they've received free or subsidised access to in the video that cannot be completely removed by cuts.

=== Chapter ===
{{main|Chapter}}
Labels describing specific sections of videos.

== Category types ==


=== Mute segment ===
{{main|Mute segment}}
Mute segments are for segments that visually contain important information but have audio underneath that belongs in one of the categories.

If a segment can be skipped, it should be skipped instead.

Mute segments can also be supplements for when visual transitions are not smooth.

=== Full video labels ===
{{main|Full Video Labels}}
* {{Category|Sponsor|nolink=1}}
* {{Category|Exclusive Access|nolink=1}}
* {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promo|nolink=1}}

Mchangrh: Re-create, add note for VO

{{Draft|none}}
{{Message box|type=important|mini=1|title=Hook is no longer part of this category.|text=Hooks now have to submitted in the new {{Category|Hook/Greetings}} category.}}
'''{{Category|Preview/Recap}}''' is used for collections of clips that show what is coming up in in this video or other videos in a series where all information is repeated later in the video.

== Preview ==
For segments that show what is coming up in this or future videos of the same series, but do not provide additional information. Voice over or descriptive audio for the clips is allowed.
If it includes clips that only appear here, this is very likely not the right category.

=== Examples ===

|}

== Recap ==
For segments that show what happened in this or past videos of the same series, but do not provide additional information.
If it includes clips that only appear here, this is not the right category. If the video that is recapped is not directly linked to the current video, but clips from the recapped video are shown,
you shouldn't submit them either, because others have probably not watched the recapped video.

2025-04-09T23:26:56Z

Mchangrh: completely exclude factual advice https://discord.com/channels/603643120093233162/655247785561554945/1359634271157092623

'''{{Category|Interaction reminders}}''' should be used when there is a short reminder to like, subscribe, or interact with them on any paid or free platform. If it is about something specific,
the segment should be under the {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}} category instead.

__FORCETOC__

== Motivation ==
Calls-To-Action never contain useful information. If it could be useful, use {{Category|Unpaid/Self Promotion}} instead.

'''This includes:'''
* Short reminders to like, subscribe, follow, interact, or watch to the end
** This includes "Pay attention or you'll miss [x] Easter eggs", playback speed, and repeat requests
* Reacting to messages or donations
* Request for opinions in comments (See [[#Exceptions/ Edge Cases|exceptions / edge cases]])

== Exceptions / Edge Cases ==
# Factual advice should not be included in any segments; Opinions or polls should be (see [[#Examples|examples]])
#* How can '''''I''''' improve the machine '''''I''''' am building (factual)
#* If anyone has worked with x before and has '''''advice on proper practices''''', please comment below (factual)
#* What should we call our new cat (opinion)
#* If anyone has any suggestions for a name, comment below (opinion)

=== Not included ===
* On-screen interaction reminders that cannot be skipped without disrupting content. If you manage to make a segment which skips one of these without cutting out content and it doesn't have a bad transition, go ahead and submit it.
** Subscribe button animations.
** Like button animations.
** Notification button animations.
* Answering or reacting to comments
* Talking about something specific:
** an event
** a specific post
** a long-ish explanation

FAQ/Exclusions

2025-02-11T22:29:04Z

Mchangrh: Add exclusion page

== I believe that [niche category/ channel] should be exempt from having segments because of [morals/ entertainment] ==
No.

SponsorBlock does not and should never have morals. That is for the end user to decide and choose.

If you or a group would benefit from not having segments skipped, whitelist the channel.

VIP

2025-02-04T18:31:43Z

Mchangrh: add newlines, link to channel directly

VIP permission allows a user to have moderation-like powers in SponsorBlock. In the [https://sb.ltn.fi/ database explorer] you can recognize them by the 👑 (crown) next to their votes. On the [https://discord.gg/QnmVMpU discord] you can recognize them by their VIP role and maybe a green or light-green colored username.

== Moderating segments ==
VIP downvotes and upvotes have more power. Downvotes will remove segments immediately.

VIP submitted or upvoted segments will be locked by default. These segments will always be shown instead of similarly timed but unlocked segments and can only be removed by other VIPs. In the [https://sb.ltn.fi/ database explorer], locked segments can be identified by a 🔒 (lock) icon next to the number of votes.

VIPs can also lock categories on videos to prevent future submissions for one or more categories and action types. This is typically done to prevent future submissions if there are no missing segments for that category and all existing segments are perfectly timed. Usually, Highlights and Filler are not locked as those categories are more subjective.

If you think a VIP has made a mistake, send a link to the video along with a brief explanation to the #incorrect-submissions channel in the [https://discord.gg/QnmVMpU discord].

== Moderating users ==
Users can be moderated in two ways: bans and warnings.

Warnings are issued to users who make common mistakes when submitting segments. Upon trying to submit their next segment or voting on a segment they will receive a popup prompting them to ask about their warning on [https://discord.gg/QnmVMpU discord] or [https://matrix.to/#/+sponsorblock:ajay.app Matrix].

A ban is always approved by at least two VIPs. The ban may also entail the removal of all submissions.

Behavior that will result in a ban consists of but is not limited to:
*Malicious segments such as:
**Censoring certain people regardless of what they did or who they are.
**Censoring a part of a video containing information which is not a sponsor or other valid segment. (Politics, Religion, etc).
**Submitting segments to stop people from viewing creators.
**Vandalizing a video by submitting many incorrect segments, making the video hard to watch.
*Submitting segments that are consistently badly timed. If the segment degrades the [[Guidelines#Reduces_viewer_experience |viewer experience]] because it is badly timed, it shouldn't be there in the first place.
*Submitting segments for sponsors, intros, self-promos, etc. that do not exist.
*Submitting incorrect segments that are absurdly long to try and farm saved time and skips.

== How can I become a VIP? ==
You should have been making consistently good segments for at least a few months. You should have a good grasp on any categories you've made a submission in, and you should not have any major mistakes that we would normally issue warnings for (See Guidelines).

Pick up the `Requesting To be a VIP` role in [https://discord.com/channels/603643120093233162/660516334018494489/660516691637305374 #get-roles] on Discord

Create a new thread in #vip-request with your publicID.

Expect that your recent submissions will be scrutinised, and if you've been making consistent, high quality contributions then your application may be considered.

Based on https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/Policy:Privacy_policy

This wiki collects whatever information is collected by default by MediaWiki software.

-----

This Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your Personal Information.

*We collect very little Personal Information about you.
*We do not rent or sell your Personal Information to third parties.

By using this site, you consent to this Policy.

====Definitions====

We recognize that only a minority of you are familiar with technical terms like "tracking pixels" and "cookies" used in the Privacy Policy.

Whether you are brand new to privacy terminology or you are an expert who just wants a refresher, you might find our [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms|Glossary of Key Terms]] helpful.}}

Because everyone (not just lawyers) should be able to easily understand how and why their information is collected and used, we use common language instead of more formal terms throughout this Policy. To help ensure your understanding of some particular key terms, here is a table of translations:

====What This Privacy Policy Does & Doesn't Cover====

Except as explained below, this Privacy Policy applies to our collection and handling of information about you that we receive as a result of your use of any of the this wiki.

This Policy explains how we collect, use, and share your Personal Information.

Except as explained below, this Privacy Policy applies to our collection and handling of information about you that we receive as a result of your use of any of the this wiki.

==<span class="nomobile">[[File:WMF chart.png|60px]]</span> Collection & Use of Info==

===Types of Information We Receive From You & How We Get It===

====Your Public Contributions====

Whatever you post on this MediaWiki can be seen and used by everyone.

When you make a contribution to any Wikimedia Site, including on user or discussion pages, you are creating a permanent, public record of every piece of content added, removed, or altered by you. The page history will show when your contribution or deletion was made, as well as your username (if you are signed in) or your [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Internet Protocol Address|IP address]] (if you are not signed in). We may use your public contributions, either aggregated with the public contributions of others or individually, to create new features or data-related products for you or to learn more about how the this MediaWiki are used, as further explained below in the [[#use|"How We Use Information We Receive From You"]] section of this Privacy Policy.

Unless this Policy says otherwise, you should assume that information that you actively contribute to the this MediaWiki, including Personal Information, is publicly visible and can be found by search engines. Like most things on the Internet, anything you share may be copied and redistributed throughout the Internet by other people. Please do not contribute any information that you are uncomfortable making permanently public, like revealing your real name or location in your contributions.

You should be aware that specific data made public by you or aggregated data that is made public by us can be used by anyone for analysis and to infer further information, such as which country a user is from, political affiliation and gender.

====Account Information & Registration====

You do not need to create an account to use any Wikimedia Site.

If you do create an account, you do not need to give us your name or email address (although you can if you choose to, such as for the "Email this user" feature for example).

If you do not create an account, your contributions will be publicly attributed to your [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Internet Protocol Address|IP address]].

Want to create an account? Great! Don't want to create an account? No problem!

You are not required to create an account to read or contribute to a Wikimedia Site, except under [[Privacy policy/FAQ#needaccount|rare circumstances]]. However, if you contribute without signing in, your contribution will be publicly attributed to the [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Internet Protocol Address|IP address]] associated with your device.

If you want to create a [[Privacy policy/FAQ#standardaccount|standard account]], in most cases we require only a username and a password. However, if you choose not to provide an email address, we can't help you recover your password.

Your username will be publicly visible, so please be careful about revealing your real name or other Personal Information in your username. Your password is only used to verify that the account is yours. Your [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Internet Protocol Address|IP address]] is also automatically submitted to us, and we record it temporarily. This is to protect Wikimedia users and project content; in the event of abuse, IP addresses may be associated with usernames as part of an investigation. No other Personal Information is required: no name, no email address, no date of birth, and no credit card information.

Once created, user accounts cannot be removed entirely (although you can usually hide the information on your user page if you choose to). This is because your public contributions must be associated with their author (you!). In some circumstances, the Wikimedia communities [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Right to vanish|can assist]] users with removing additional information related to their account from the projects.

To gain a better understanding of the demographics of our users, to localize our services and to learn how we can improve our services, we may ask you for more demographic information, such as gender or age, about yourself. We will tell you if such information is intended to be public or private, so that you can make an informed decision about whether you want to provide us with that information. Providing such information is always completely optional. If you don't want to, you don't have to—it's as simple as that.

=====GPS & Other Location Technologies=====

Some features we offer work better if we know what area you are in.

If you consent, we can use [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#GPS|GPS]] (and other technologies commonly used to determine location) to show you more relevant content. We keep information obtained by these technologies confidential, except as provided in this Policy. You can learn more by checking out the list of examples of how we use these technologies in our [[Privacy policy/FAQ#gpsexamplesFAQ|FAQ]].

=====Metadata=====

Sometimes, we automatically receive location data from your device. For example, if you want to upload a photo on the Wikimedia Commons mobile app, we may receive [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Metadata|metadata]], such as the place and time you took the photo, automatically from your device. Please be aware that, unlike location information collected using GPS signals described above, the default setting on your mobile device typically includes the metadata in your photo or video upload to the this MediaWiki. If you do not want metadata sent to us and made public at the time of your upload, please change your settings on your device.

=====IP Addresses=====

Finally, when you visit any Wikimedia Site, we automatically receive the [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Internet Protocol Address|IP address]] of the device (or your [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Proxy Servers|proxy server]]) you are using to access the Internet, which could be used to [[Privacy policy/FAQ#inferlocationFAQ|infer your geographical location]].

===Information Related to Your Use of the this MediaWiki===

We use certain technologies to collect information about how you use this MediaWiki.

Like other websites, we receive some information about you automatically when you visit the this MediaWiki.

We also use a variety of commonly-used technologies, like cookies, to collect information regarding how you use the this MediaWiki, make our services safer and easier to use, and to help create a better and more customizable experience for you.

We want to make the this MediaWiki better for you by learning more about how you use them. Examples of this might include how often you visit the this MediaWiki, what you like, what you find helpful, how you get to the this MediaWiki, and whether you would use a helpful feature more if we explained it differently. We also want this Policy and our practices to reflect our community's values. For this reason, we keep information related to your use of the this MediaWiki confidential, except as provided in this Policy.

====Information We Receive Automatically====

Because of how browsers work, we receive some information automatically when you visit the this MediaWiki. This includes when you use an online tool on a third-party site that loads information coming from the this MediaWiki. This information includes the type of device you are using (possibly including unique device identification numbers, for some beta versions of our mobile applications), the type and version of your [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Browsers|browser]], your browser's language preference, the type and version of your device's [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Operating System|operating system]], in some cases the name of your internet service provider or mobile carrier, the website that referred you to the this MediaWiki, which pages you request and visit, and the date and time of each request you make to the this MediaWiki.

Put simply, we use this information to enhance your experience with this MediaWiki. For example, we use this information to administer the sites, provide greater security, and fight vandalism; optimize mobile applications, customize content and set language preferences, test features to see what works, and improve performance; understand how users interact with the this MediaWiki, track and study use of various features, gain understanding about the demographics of the different this MediaWiki, and analyze trends.

====Information We Collect====

We use a variety of commonly-used technologies, like cookies, to understand how you use the this MediaWiki, make our services safer and easier to use, and to help create a better and more customizable experience for you.

We actively collect some types of information with a variety of commonly-used technologies. These generally include [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Tracking Pixel|tracking pixels]], [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#JavaScript|JavaScript]], and a variety of "locally stored data" technologies, such as [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Cookies|cookies]] and [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Local Storage|local storage]]. These types of technologies may also be used in online tools on a third-party site that loads information from the this MediaWiki. We realize that some of these technologies do not have the best reputation in town and can be used for less-than-noble purposes. So we want to be as clear as we can about why we use these methods and the type of information we collect with them.

Depending on which technology we use, locally stored data may include text, Personal Information (like your [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Internet Protocol Address|IP address]]), and information about your use of the this MediaWiki (like your username or the time of your visit). See below for more information.

We use this information to make your experience with the this MediaWiki safer and better, to gain a greater understanding of user preferences and their interaction with the this MediaWiki, and to generally improve our services. We will never use third-party cookies, unless we get your permission to do so. If you ever come across a third-party data collection tool that has not been authorized by you (such as one that may have been mistakenly placed by another user or administrator), please report it to us at [mailto:privacy@wikimedia.org privacy@wikimedia.org].

Locally stored data, JavaScript, and tracking pixels help us do things like:

* Provide you with a customizable experience, such as using cookies to know your language preference, to remember the user preferences you set so we can provide you with the customized look and feel that you want, and to tell you about interesting Wikimedia issues and events in your area.
* Deliver more relevant content to you faster. For example, we use local storage to store your most recently read articles directly on your device, so they can be retrieved quickly. Also, we use cookies to learn about the topics searched so that we can optimize the search results we deliver to you.
* Understand how you use the this MediaWiki, so that we know what works and what is useful. For example, we might use cookies to learn about the list of articles you are following on your watchlist so that we can recommend similar articles that you may be interested in.

=====IP Addresses=====
}}

When you visit any Wikimedia Site, we automatically receive the IP address of the device (or your proxy server) you are using to access the Internet, which could be used to infer your geographical location. We keep IP addresses confidential, except as provided in this Policy. If you are visiting this MediaWiki with your mobile device, we may use your IP address to provide anonymized or aggregated information to service providers regarding the volume of usage in certain areas.

We use this location information to make your experience with the this MediaWiki safer and better, to gain a greater understanding of user preferences and their interaction with the this MediaWiki, and to generally improve our services.

====For Legal Reasons====
}}

We will disclose your Personal Information to public authorities or other persons in response to an official legal process only if we believe it to be legally valid. See also our [[Requests for user information procedures & guidelines|Requests for user information procedures and guidelines]]. We will notify you of such requests when possible. We do so to further our legitimate interest and/or to comply with our legal obligations.
}}

We will access, use, preserve, and/or disclose your Personal Information if we reasonably believe it necessary to satisfy a valid and legally enforceable warrant, subpoena, court order, law or regulation, or other judicial or administrative order. However, if we believe that a particular request for disclosure of a user's information is legally invalid or an abuse of the legal system and the affected user does not intend to oppose the disclosure themselves, we will try our best to fight it. We are committed to notifying you via email at least ten (10) calendar days, when possible, before we disclose your Personal Information in response to a legal demand. However, we may only provide notice if we are not legally restrained from contacting you, there is no credible threat to life or limb that is created or increased by disclosing the request, and you have provided us with an email address.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit any legal objections or defenses you may have to a third party's request (whether it be civil, criminal, or governmental) to disclose your Personal Information. We recommend seeking the advice of legal counsel immediately if such a request is made involving you.

* protect our organization, infrastructure, employees, contractors, or the public; or
* prevent imminent or serious bodily harm or death to a person.

We do so to manage our relationship with you, to further our legitimate interest, and/or to comply with our legal obligations.
}}

We, or particular users with certain administrative rights as described below, need to use and share your Personal Information if it is reasonably believed to be necessary to enforce or investigate potential violations of our [[wmf:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]], this Privacy Policy, or any Wikimedia Foundation or user community-based policies. We may also need to access and share Personal Information to investigate and defend ourselves against legal threats or actions.

this MediaWiki are collaborative, with users writing most of the policies and selecting from amongst themselves people to hold certain administrative rights. These rights may include access to limited amounts of otherwise nonpublic information about recent contributions and activity by other users. They use this access to help protect against vandalism and abuse, fight harassment of other users, and generally try to minimize disruptive behavior on the this MediaWiki. These various user-selected administrative groups have their own privacy and confidentiality guidelines, but all such groups are supposed to agree to follow our [[Access to nonpublic information policy|Access to Nonpublic Information Policy]]. These user-selected administrative groups are accountable to other users through checks and balances: users are selected through a community-driven process and overseen by their peers through a logged history of their actions. However, the legal names of these users are not known to the Wikimedia Foundation.

We hope that this never comes up, but we may disclose your Personal Information if we believe that it's reasonably necessary to prevent imminent and serious bodily harm or death to a person, or to protect our organization, employees, contractors, users, or the public. We may also disclose your Personal Information if we reasonably believe it necessary to detect, prevent, or otherwise assess and address potential spam, malware, fraud, abuse, unlawful activity, and security or technical concerns.

{{Privacypolicy/Right

The open-source software that powers the this MediaWiki depends on the contributions of volunteer software developers, who spend time writing and testing code to help it improve and evolve with our users' needs. To facilitate their work, we give some developers limited access to systems that contain your Personal Information, but only as reasonably necessary for them to develop and contribute to the this MediaWiki.

Similarly, we share non-Personal Information or aggregated information with researchers, scholars, academics, and other interested third parties who wish to study the this MediaWiki. Sharing this Personal Information helps them understand usage, viewing, and demographics statistics and patterns. They then can share their findings with us and our users so that we can all better understand and improve the this MediaWiki.

When we give access to Personal Information to third-party developers or researchers, we put requirements, such as reasonable technical and contractual protections, in place to help ensure that these service providers treat your Personal Information consistently with the principles of this Policy and in accordance with our instructions. If these developers or researchers later publish their work or findings, we ask that they not disclose your Personal Information. Please note that, despite the obligations we impose on developers and researchers, we cannot guarantee that they will abide by our agreement, nor do we guarantee that we will regularly screen or audit their projects.

{{Privacypolicy/Right

When you make a contribution to any Wikimedia Site, including on user or discussion pages, you are creating a permanent, public record of every piece of content added, removed, or altered by you. The page history will show when your contribution or deletion was made, as well as your username (if you are signed in) or your [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Internet Protocol Address|IP address]] (if you are not signed in). We may use your public contributions, either aggregated with the public contributions of others or individually, to create new features or data-related products for you or to learn more about how the this MediaWiki are used, as further explained below in the [[#use|"How We Use Information We Receive From You"]] section of this Privacy Policy.

}}

You do not need to create an account to use any Wikimedia Site.

If you do create an account, you do not need to give us your name or email address (although you can if you choose to, such as for the "Email this user" feature for example).

If you do not create an account, your contributions will be publicly attributed to your [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Internet Protocol Address|IP address]].
}}

Want to create an account? Great! Don't want to create an account? No problem!

{{anchor|notrequired}}
You are not required to create an account to read or contribute to a Wikimedia Site, except under [[Privacy policy/FAQ#needaccount|rare circumstances]].

{{Hidden
|header=More on Usernames
|content=Your username will be publicly visible, so please be careful about revealing your real name or other Personal Information in your username. Your password is only used to verify that the account is yours. Your [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Internet Protocol Address|IP address]] is also automatically submitted to us, and we record it temporarily. This is to protect Wikimedia users and project content; in the event of abuse, IP addresses may be associated with usernames as part of an investigation. No other Personal Information is required: no name, no email address, no date of birth, and no credit card information.

Once created, user accounts cannot be removed entirely (although you can usually hide the information on your user page if you choose to). This is because your public contributions must be associated with their author (you!). In some circumstances, the Wikimedia communities [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Right to vanish|can assist]] users with removing additional information related to their account from the projects.

To gain a better understanding of the demographics of our users, to localize our services and to learn how we can improve our services, we may ask you for more demographic information, such as gender or age, about yourself. We will tell you if such information is intended to be public or private, so that you can make an informed decision about whether you want to provide us with that information. Providing such information is always completely optional. If you don't want to, you don't have to—it's as simple as that.

These types of technologies may also be used in online tools on a third-party site that loads information from the this MediaWiki. We realize that some of these technologies do not have the best reputation in town and can be used for less-than-noble purposes. So we want to be as clear as we can about why we use these methods and the type of information we collect with them.

Depending on which technology we use, locally stored data may include text, Personal Information (like your [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Internet Protocol Address|IP address]]), and information about your use of the this MediaWiki (like your username or the time of your visit). See below for more information.

We use this information to make your experience with the this MediaWiki safer and better, to gain a greater understanding of user preferences and their interaction with the this MediaWiki, and to generally improve our services. We will never use third-party cookies, unless we get your permission to do so.

* Deliver more relevant content to you faster. For example, we use local storage to store your most recently read articles directly on your device, so they can be retrieved quickly. Also, we use cookies to learn about the topics searched so that we can optimize the search results we deliver to you.
* Understand how you use the this MediaWiki, so that we know what works and what is useful. For example, we might use cookies to learn about the list of articles you are following on your watchlist so that we can recommend similar articles that you may be interested in.
* Understand how you use the this MediaWiki across different devices, so that we can make our varied this MediaWiki more efficient and effective for you.
* Make the this MediaWiki more convenient to use, such as by using cookies to maintain your session when you log in or to remember your username in the login field.

When you visit any Wikimedia Site, we automatically receive the [[Privacy policy/Glossary of key terms#Internet Protocol Address|IP address]] of the device (or your proxy server) you are using to access the Internet, which could be used to infer your geographical location. We keep IP addresses confidential, except as provided in this Policy. If you are visiting this MediaWiki with your mobile device, we may use your IP address to provide anonymized or aggregated information to service providers regarding the volume of usage in certain areas.

We use this location information to make your experience with the this MediaWiki safer and better, to gain a greater understanding of user preferences and their interaction with the this MediaWiki, and to generally improve our services.

We will disclose your Personal Information to public authorities or other persons in response to an official legal process only if we believe it to be legally valid. See also our [[Requests for user information procedures & guidelines|Requests for user information procedures and guidelines]]. We will notify you of such requests when possible. We do so to further our legitimate interest and/or to comply with our legal obligations.
}}

We will access, use, preserve, and/or disclose your Personal Information if we reasonably believe it necessary to satisfy a valid and legally enforceable warrant, subpoena, court order, law or regulation, or other judicial or administrative order. However, if we believe that a particular request for disclosure of a user's information is legally invalid or an abuse of the legal system and the affected user does not intend to oppose the disclosure themselves, we will try our best to fight it. We are committed to notifying you via email at least ten (10) calendar days, when possible, before we disclose your Personal Information in response to a legal demand. However, we may only provide notice if we are not legally restrained from contacting you, there is no credible threat to life or limb that is created or increased by disclosing the request, and you have provided us with an email address.

Nothing in this Privacy Policy is intended to limit any legal objections or defenses you may have to a third party's request (whether it be civil, criminal, or governmental) to disclose your Personal Information. We recommend seeking the advice of legal counsel immediately if such a request is made involving you.

We, or users with certain administrative rights, use and disclose Personal Information that is reasonably necessary to:
* enforce or investigate potential violations of the Wikimedia Foundation or community-based policies;
* protect our organization, infrastructure, employees, contractors, or the public; or
* prevent imminent or serious bodily harm or death to a person.

We do so to manage our relationship with you, to further our legitimate interest, and/or to comply with our legal obligations.
}}

We, or particular users with certain administrative rights as described below, need to use and share your Personal Information if it is reasonably believed to be necessary to enforce or investigate potential violations of our [[wmf:Terms of Use|Terms of Use]], this Privacy Policy, or any Wikimedia Foundation or user community-based policies. We may also need to access and share Personal Information to investigate and defend ourselves against legal threats or actions.

this MediaWiki are collaborative, with users writing most of the policies and selecting from amongst themselves people to hold certain administrative rights. These rights may include access to limited amounts of otherwise nonpublic information about recent contributions and activity by other users. They use this access to help protect against vandalism and abuse, fight harassment of other users, and generally try to minimize disruptive behavior on the this MediaWiki. These various user-selected administrative groups have their own privacy and confidentiality guidelines, but all such groups are supposed to agree to follow our [[Access to nonpublic information policy|Access to Nonpublic Information Policy]]. These user-selected administrative groups are accountable to other users through checks and balances: users are selected through a community-driven process and overseen by their peers through a logged history of their actions. However, the legal names of these users are not known to the Wikimedia Foundation.

We hope that this never comes up, but we may disclose your Personal Information if we believe that it's reasonably necessary to prevent imminent and serious bodily harm or death to a person, or to protect our organization, employees, contractors, users, or the public. We may also disclose your Personal Information if we reasonably believe it necessary to detect, prevent, or otherwise assess and address potential spam, malware, fraud, abuse, unlawful activity, and security or technical concerns.

{{Privacypolicy/Right

The open-source software that powers the this MediaWiki depends on the contributions of volunteer software developers, who spend time writing and testing code to help it improve and evolve with our users' needs. To facilitate their work, we give some developers limited access to systems that contain your Personal Information, but only as reasonably necessary for them to develop and contribute to the this MediaWiki.

Similarly, we share non-Personal Information or aggregated information with researchers, scholars, academics, and other interested third parties who wish to study the this MediaWiki. Sharing this Personal Information helps them understand usage, viewing, and demographics statistics and patterns. They then can share their findings with us and our users so that we can all better understand and improve the this MediaWiki.

When we give access to Personal Information to third-party developers or researchers, we put requirements, such as reasonable technical and contractual protections, in place to help ensure that these service providers treat your Personal Information consistently with the principles of this Policy and in accordance with our instructions. If these developers or researchers later publish their work or findings, we ask that they not disclose your Personal Information. Please note that, despite the obligations we impose on developers and researchers, we cannot guarantee that they will abide by our agreement, nor do we guarantee that we will regularly screen or audit their projects.

Sponsor-Selfpromo

2024-11-02T22:55:18Z

Mchangrh: Add examples from DemHaters

=== [DRAFT] Disambiguation of sponsor vs selfpromo ===

* no association/ affiliate: sponsor
* turnkey/ white-label: selfpromo
* custom/ build-to-order: sponsor
* considerable ownership: selfpromo
* wholly owned: selfpromo
*Biased investment advice (stocks, cryptocurrency, nfts, etc.): sponsor

=== Turnkey Definition ===
''Turnkey'' refers to something that is ready for immediate use, generally used in the sale or supply of goods or services. The word is a reference to the fact that the customer, upon receiving the product, just needs to turn the ignition key to make it operational, or that the key just needs to be turned over to the customer. This is contrasted with build to order, where the constructor builds an item to the buyer's exact specifications, or when an incomplete product is sold with the assumption that the buyer would complete it.

=== Examples ===

* Branded "G-Fuel" Energy Drink: Sponsor
** if there is an affiliate link or if it is customized for the content creator
* Merch through a third party distributor (RedBubble, TeeSpring): Selfpromo
** RedBubble and TeeSpring are turnkey solutions for merch with limited involvement by the parent company
* Beast Burgers: Selfpromo
** Beast Burgers are part of a turnkey solution by Virtual Dining Concepts. <ref>https://www.virtualdiningconcepts.com/get-started/</ref>
* LunarClient Partners: Sponsor
** LunarClient cosmetics are not turnkey
* Epic Games ''Support-A-Creator'': Sponsor
** Content creators have no association with the brand and in their Application even states that any creator must disclose their connection.<ref>https://www.epicgames.com/affiliate/en-US/overview</ref>
*Makeship
**Similar to YouTooz, the platform is promoted and the products are not turnkey. <ref>https://discord.com/channels/603643120093233162/655247785561554945/957744305030701096</ref>
*AdvancedGG <ref>https://advanced.gg/pages/ambassador</ref>
**Ambassador: Selfpromo - They do not have any input in the product, they merely get affiliate link kickbacks
**Partner: Sponsor - Products are customized and include involvement of the CC
**These can be easily discerned in the URL <code>/pages/partner-rev/?ref=affiliate</code>
*Plushiyo!: Sponsor <ref>https://plushable.co/pages/create-with-plushiyo</ref>
**Not turnkey and custom/ built to order
*Pixel Empire: Selfpromo <ref>https://www.pixelempire.com/pages/old-start-selling-with-us</ref>
**Most products are turnkey and print-on-demand <ref>https://www.pixelempire.com/pages/faq</ref>
**Little to no involvement from the content creator, while not completely white-label
**Most product pages direct attention towards the creator product line

Endcards/Credits

2024-10-26T06:33:24Z

Mchangrh: Add edge case for financial supporters

__FORCETOC__
===== Description =====
This is for credits or when the YouTube endcards appear and not for conclusions with information. (Typically at the end of a video)

===== Exceptions/ Edge Cases =====
#YouTube's overlaid annotations do not influence category type decision as they are arbitrarily placed particularly when the segment category is controversial.
## If there is a '''clean cut''' to unrelated filler audio or video for YouTube's endcards, mark it as endcards.
# A goodbye doesn't necessarily justify an endcard. A clear audio '''AND''' visual cut should separate a goodbye before it should be included in an endcard.
#* This helps avoid jarring cuts to a goodbye followed by an outro segment. Just include the goodbye and with it, remove the cut.
#* See Daily Dose Of Internet Intros, just at the end of a video.
# Financial supporters alone '''DO NOT''' qualify for "Credits", and falls under [[Unpaid/Self Promotion]], see edge cases below

===== '''Category Edge Cases''' =====
# Bloopers and "goodbye" sequences should be [[Filler Tangent/Jokes]]
# [[Sponsor]] segments should always be cut separately
#[[Unpaid/Self Promotion]] / [[Interaction Reminder (Subscribe)]] should be cut separately if possible, but can be included '''ONLY''' if they cannot be separated

Bias/USAF

2024-09-23T01:51:35Z

Mchangrh: Add United States Armed Forces

== United States Armed Forces (Umbrella) ==
Although the USAF has been involved in promotional campaigns, most media falls under '''Exclusive Access''' since they grant access to restricted and exclusive locations.While deeply integrated, they cannot monetarily sponsor influencers.

There are a few circumstances that would indicate otherwise

* USAF service members currently working as social media or outreach - '''Selfpromo''' unless the channel is not associated with the USAF
* Script Control - '''Full Video Sponsor''' since the content is determined by the USAF
* '''Explicitly sponsored''' recruitment campaigns such as Inside the Battle<ref>https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWpwWlwHUQMyAptcl9kUMrKlfyC18usgM

https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWpwWlwHUQMyAptcl9kUMrKlfyC18usgM</ref>

Examples

* AFA recruitment drives such as AIMS<ref>https://www.afa.org/afas-recruiting-task-force-aims-high-in-new-partnership-with-afrs/

https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://www.afa.org/afas-recruiting-task-force-aims-high-in-new-partnership-with-afrs/</ref><ref>https://www.afa.org/usaf-recruiting-commander-calls-afa-delegates-tell-their-stories/

https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://www.afa.org/usaf-recruiting-commander-calls-afa-delegates-tell-their-stories/</ref> while targeting content creators do not count as sponsorships since no money changed hands
* No money changed hands for Katy Perry's marine base music video <ref>https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2012/03/22/marines-say-katy-perry-video-is-good-publicity/

https://web.archive.org/web/20240923014313/https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2012/03/22/marines-say-katy-perry-video-is-good-publicity/</ref>
* Sam Eckholm - While formerly a Public Affairs Officer<ref>https://wevett.com/2024/blog/sam-eckholm/

https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://wevett.com/2024/blog/sam-eckholm/</ref>, there is no indication of any monetary partnership with the USAF - '''Exclusive Access'''
* Top Gun Maverick had USAF script approval<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/features/top-gun-maverick-military-propaganda-b2086968.html</ref>

Guidelines

2024-08-31T03:41:25Z

Mchangrh: Add distinction for recap clips

= Guidelines =
Users are encouraged to '''downvote''' and '''avoid making''' segments with the following issues:

* Doesn't fit the category it's in
**If the timing is correct, you can click ✏️ and select "Change Category". This needs to be done in the notice that appears after skipping, not the popup.
* Includes information relevant to the main content of the video <ref>This does not apply to [[Filler Tangent]]. See the wiki page for details</ref>
* The whole video is about (or closely related to) the thing you're making a segment on
** If all mentions cannot be cleanly cut or could show bias, don't include the sponsor disclosure and instead submit a [[Full Video Labels|Full Video Label]] for that category.
**Don't make segments covering the entire video
* The transition is poorly timed or not [[Advice for submitting|seamless]]
**Include segues<ref>Sections made specifically to smoothly move into a sponsor or other categories</ref> when possible and exclude any additional or irrelevant content not necessary for a seamless skip
**Seek frame-by-frame with <code>,</code> and <code>.</code> Segments should start '''''before'''''<ref>Test with preview, it's best to start it as early as possible that doesn't include content to account for any lag</ref> the visual change, or a little earlier if needed for audio, and end on the '''''first frame after''''' the segment
**Segments at the start should start at '''''00:00.0''''' and segments at the end should go to the very end of the video <ref>Make sure start segments start at exactly <code>0:0.0</code> . This can be done with the <code>Home</code> Key. Segments going until the end of the video should not end before the actual end. This can be done with the <code>End</code> key and on Vanced, the time might have to be rounded up to the next second</ref>
*Segment that adds onto an existing bad segment. Instead, submit a new segment covering the entire section.
*Skips visuals that does not cover the entire screen (overlays or banners) See [[Mute Segment]]

==== If you have any questions about specifics, feel free to ask in [https://discord.gg/SponsorBlock Discord] or [https://matrix.to/#/#sponsor:ajay.app?via=ajay.app&via=matrix.org&via=mozilla.org Matrix] ====
For more specifics on how to make high quality submissions, see [[Advice for submitting]].

= Category Breakdown =
A more visual representation in the form of a flow chart can be found [[Community#Media|in this article]].

== [[Sponsor]] ==
Part of a video promoting a product or service not directly related to the creator. The creator will receive payment or compensation in the form of money or free products.

If the entire video is about the product or service, use a [[Full Video Labels|Full Video Label]].

== [[Interaction Reminder (Subscribe)]] ==
Explicit reminders to like, subscribe or interact with them on any paid or free platform(s) (e.g. click on a video). If about something specific it should be [[Unpaid/Self Promotion]] instead.

Can be bundled with [[Unpaid/Self Promotion|Self Promotion]] into [[Endcards/Credits]]<ref name=":0" />

== [[Unpaid/Self Promotion]] ==
=== Self Promotion ===
Promoting a product or service that is directly related to the creator themselves. This usually includes merchandise or promotion of monetized platforms.

=== Unpaid Promotion ===
The creator will not receive any payment in exchange for this promotion. This includes charity drives or free shout outs for products or other people they like.

Can be bundled into [[Endcards/Credits]]<ref name=":0">If it is '''impossible''' to cleanly cut or overlap the segments, Interactions and Self Promotion can be included in Endcards if they also occur during the outro.</ref>

== [[Intermission/Intro Animation]] ==
Segments typically found at the start of a video that include an animation, still frame or clip which are also seen in other videos by the same creator.

This can include livestream pauses with no content (looping animations or chat windows) and Copyright/ Fair Use disclaimers.

Do not include disclaimers to protect viewers, preparation or cleanup clips and as a rule of thumb, speech should usually not be included.

Do not include skits, time-lapses, slow-motion clips. (Possibly [[Filler Tangent/Jokes|Filler Tangent/ Jokes]])

Do not use this to skip past content to get to the main point of the video. (See [[Highlight]])

== [[Highlight]] ==
Used to get to the point or highlight of a video.

Only submit the highlight with the highest priority. There can only be one highlight per video.

Use cases (from highest to lowest priority):
# Point/ most important part of the video.
# Part of the video referred to by the title.
# Part of the video referred to by the thumbnail.
# Part of the video referenced by a preview/ teaser.

== [[Endcards/Credits|Endcards/Credits (Outro)]] ==
Typically near or at the end of the video when the credits pop up and/or endcards are shown. This should not be based solely on the YouTube annotations.

[[Interaction Reminder (Subscribe)]] or [[Self Promotion]] can be included<ref name=":0" />

== [[Preview/Recap/Hook]] ==
Collection of clips that show what is coming up in in this video or other videos in a series where all information is repeated later in the video.

Do not include recap clips that only appear in the video or clips from a recapped video that is not directly linked to the current video.

== [[Filler Tangent/Jokes]] ==
Filler Tangent/ Jokes is only for tangential scenes added only for filler or humor that are not required to understand the main content of the video.

This can also include: Timelapses/ [[B-Roll]], Fake Sponsors and slow-motion clips that do not provide any context or are used as replays or B-roll.

== [[Music: Non-Music Section]] ==
Only to be used on videos which feature music as the primary content.

Segments should only include music not present in the official or Spotify music release.

Non-Music exists independently of other categories, so it is okay to overlap it with them.

Make sure to only include complete silence. Boost your audio as much as you can to avoid prematurely including any music.

== [[Full Video Labels|Exclusive Access (Full Video Label Only)]] ==
When the creator showcases a product, service or location that they've received free or subsidised access to in the video that cannot be completely removed by cuts.

== Category Types ==

== [[Mute Segment]] ==
Mute segments are for segments that visually contain important information but have audio underneath that belongs in one of the categories.

If a segment can be skipped, it should be skipped instead.

Mute segments can also be supplements for when visual transitions are not smooth.

== [[Full Video Labels]] ==

* Sponsor
* Exclusive Access
* Unpaid/ Self Promo

== Footnotes ==

How to disable the alert forcing you to preview segments

2024-02-18T21:39:27Z

Mchangrh: Protected "How to disable the alert forcing you to preview segments": High traffic page ([Edit=Allow only administrators] (indefinite) [Move=Allow only administrators] (indefinite))

simply preview the segments before clicking submit, for example when editing their timings, and the alert won't appear!

=="but I'm sure my segments are always accurate"==
ask blab for an audit + tip of your segments
