Template:PldVideos

The green puzzle piece to the left represents an infobox: a small table containing a handful of quick facts about the video you're writing about. Hover over the symbol, then click on "edit" in the form that pops open, and fill in the fields. Only the fields relevant to the game in question should be filled (e.g. if the video is not part of a video series, the field "part of" should be left blank). If the video is hosted on YouTube and you want to embed it here, simply insert the YouTube video ID (the 11 character alphanumeric string in the URL after "watch?v=") in between the tags in the "video" field and click "OK" to close the popup.

Please note that pages which are too short may be deleted or merged with others. There is no blanket restriction on certain kinds of videos, but certain kinds of videos do not lend themselves to a page of their own because not much can be said about them. This includes most PMVs ("Pony Music Videos"). You can still write about those videos, but you should do so either on a page describing the musician (if he or she is part of the community), or a page describing the video creator. Motion comics - videos made on the basis of pre-existing comics - should be covered on a page created for the comic.

Videos that do lend themselves to being covered on a page include any videos that have a robust narrative: abridged series, sketch videos, parody videos. It can also include "documentary" videos. An article about one of those videos should cover the most important aspects: its title, its creator(s), and what kind of video it is. It should also summarize the story that the video tells and, if there is enough to say, the characters who feature in the video.

If a vioeo has been out for a while, it may be possible to create a section about its reception. This includes average user ratings on the sites the video was published on, news (blog) coverage, and fan projects explicitly inspired by this one. Please provide references if you make a claim about a video's popularity, and always say which day your data is from when citing statistics. Reception can also include praise from other prominent fans or even creators of Friendship is Magic.

If you want to write about a series of videos all on one page instead of individually - something that is preferable if individual sections are quite short -, you can copy and paste the infobox from above (the green puzzle piece) as many times as needed.

External link(s)
This section is mandatory if you do not embed the video via the infobox. It should be structured as a series of bullet points with links to other websites. One of these links must lead to the video.
 * This is an example for an external link; it leads to google.com.
 * You can add a link either via the third symbol in the toolbar at the top, or by encasing both the link and the text in a pair of single square brackets, ]http://www.google.com like so[ (only the other way around).
 * Other external links are allowed if they are relevant to this page and its topic; a podcast interview with the creators, for instance.
