I love references.

Personal style conventions
In general, Wikipedia:Manual of Style is a good guideline to follow for this wiki as well.

Timestamp formats in URLs
Linking to a specific time in a video is useful, especially for references. An easy way to copy a YouTube video at the current time is to right-click the video and select Copy video URL at current time. However, the timestamp given will be in seconds, which while functional, is not as readable for humans as the HH:MM:SS format in the YouTube UI. Fortunately, a human-readable timestamp format for URLs is also supported so prefer this whenever possible.

(bilibili also accepts the same timestamp formats as YouTube.)


 * Human-readable examples

Timestamps in references
Specifying a video timestamp in the title of a Template:Link reference makes it more descriptive and also helps to differentiate it from other references from the same video. Use Template:small to clearly separate the timestamp from the title. If the end of a title ends with a full-width punctuation character (e.g., 】), avoid inserting a space between the character and  for aesthetics.

Words as words
Use italics when using words as words per wikipedia:MOS:.

VirtuaReal-related dates
VirtuaReal is a Chinese agency and as such, dates for references, events (in "History" sections), etc. should usually use China Standard Time (CST). Exceptions may be made for worldwide collaborations and syncing dates in member articles with the main NIJISANJI article. Using Template:TZ may also be useful for events mentioned in both the former and latter articles.

Getting PNG images from Twitter
By default, Twitter will provide a JPEG image when opening an image in a new tab. However, the PNG version of the image may be desired in some cases (see Portable Network Graphics for more information). This can be obtained by changing some query strings in the image URL, in particular, changing  to. The  string can also be changed to   for the highest image resolution.

 * Consider File:Sonny Brisko by Ishizue Kachiru 2022-02-27.png and the default JPEG version:
