Don't write a page for special guests ''unless'' the guest becomes more regular on the show (e.g. [[Macaulay Culkin]]) or the guest does not have a relevant Wikipedia page (e.g. [[Len Kabasinksi]]). | Don't write a page for special guests ''unless'' the guest becomes more regular on the show (e.g. [[Macaulay Culkin]]) or the guest does not have a relevant Wikipedia page (e.g. [[Len Kabasinksi]]). | ||
Multi-part episodes do not need a separate page ''unless'' the videos are separate episodes in the chronology. | |||
* [[Jack and Jill]] is two videos, but both make up Episode 21 of [[Half in the Bag]]. Therefore, both descriptions and thumbnails are referenced in the same page. | |||
* [[The Friday the 13th Series (Part 1)]] and [[The Friday the 13th Series (Part 2)]] are separated by [[Pee-Wee's Big Adventure]], so those make up episodes 114, 116, and 115 of [[re:View|re:View]] respectively. | |||
Do not make a page for an excerpt of an episode. Instead, make it a heading under the original video. | |||
* Example: [[Oppenheimer and The Hollywood Implosion#Christopher Nolan’s 12 Angry Men]] | |||

On the YouTube channel, RLM tends to write their episode titles in the format of either "Show Name: Title" (as in episodes of [[Best of the Worst]]) or "Title - Show Name" (as in episodes of [[re:View]]. For our part, article titles should be equivalent to the episode titles alone. For example, the episode "Half in the Bag: Slender-Man" should have an article on this site called simply [[Slender-Man]]. | On the YouTube channel, RLM tends to write their episode titles in the format of either "Show Name: Title" (as in episodes of [[Best of the Worst]]) or "Title - Show Name" (as in episodes of [[re:View]].)

Of note, '''themes are not inside jokes.''' If something happens only twice or three times, it might be better suited for [[#Previously On]] or [[#Trivia]]. | Of note, '''themes are not inside jokes.'''

If something is notable in the episode or you thought "Hey, I noticed that", it's a remark. You can add a separate "Trivia" section for things that seem inconsequential but noteworthy. This is roughly equivalent to the "Remarks" sections on HRWiki. | If something is notable in the episode or you thought "Hey, I noticed that", it's a remark.

If discussions in this episode come up again on future episodes, mark them here. It may be overkill to provide this every single time a Previously On is used. Consider whether a call forward is really necessary to point out before adding this heading. | If discussions in this episode come up again on future episodes, mark them here.
