Archiving and Citing Sources
| < To-do list | Archiving and Citing Sources | Editing pages > |
Due to Daniel often deleting his accounts and getting banned and takedowns / false copyright strikes being common in lolcow communities, many sources and videos relating to Daniel become lost media. This is why it is extremely important to archive everything on either Archive.org or this website. Do not upload videos to this site, upload them onto Archive.org and embed them using
{{#ev:service|video id|sizing|alignment|description|framing}}
Using Youtube videos is acceptable in the short term, but Youtube is also known to delete Daniel-related content. The documentation for the extension can be found here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:EmbedVideo.
Citing Sources
Sources are only to be cited when claims are made about information. Citing sources is easy, as you can easily enter your source by clicking on "basic" in "cite." If you are using the same source twice, use "re-use."
