Video page standards
There ought to be a special page for this perhaps, but I'm going to put it here. {old info edited out}
Okay, here we go, a video should look like this:
REPLACE SECTIONS IN CAPS WITH SPECIFIC INFORMATION
{{Blog3
| name = TITLE OF THE VIDEO
| number = FOUR-DIGIT NUMBER
| image = SCREEN CAPTURE HERE
| caption = SHORT DESCRIPTION OR COMMENT OF SCREEN CAPTURE
| blogger = BLOGGER'S NAME
| date = DATE OF POSTING IN THE FORM "JUNE 16TH, 2006"
| url = [EXTERNAL LINK TO VIDEO]
| description = YOUTUBE VIDEO DESCRIPTION
| tags = [[ALL]] [[THE]] [[YOUTUBE]] [[TAGS]] [[AS]] [[LINKS]]
<!-- Production Credits leave blank after "=" if data is not available -->
| execprod =
| producers =
| directors =
| camera =
| vidplay =
| story =
| editor =
| song = NAME OF THE SONG AND ARTIST
<!-- Specify cast in reverse of desired order. The first listed will be displayed last. -->
| character1 = CHARACTER'S NAME
| actor1 = PERSON PLAYING CHARACTER
| character2 =
| actor2 =
| character3 =
| actor3 =
<!-- Leave blank after "=" if there are no previous or next blogs -->
| Previous = PREVIOUS VIDEO IN THE SERIES
| Next = NEXT VIDEO, OR LEAVE BLANK IF MOST RECENT
}}

That's for an official video, each of the other videos that's not part of the official storyline should get its own template. Right now we have a few of them, and may develop others. Still, I think we need to have a place where this info could be placed with more prominence, and perhaps in the context of a number of other style issues. The style issues range from major ones like what sort of information belongs in the LGPedia and what warrants a page, to formatting and capitalization standards (note that the 'P' in LGPedia ought to be capitalised) to spelling issues (English vs. American spelling; do we refer to him/her as Purple Monkey or P Monkey?). There's a lot that ought to be addressed somewhere. --Brucker 13:24, 15 December 2006 (CST)
