==Guidelines==
===Rules===
* '''Adults only!'''
Do not share any data, metadata, or other info if you even suspect it might involve or appear to involve under-age individuals.
* '''Consensual footage only!'''
Do not submit anything where you have cause to suspect the data is related to footage that has been published without the consent of the depicted individuals.
* Be excellent to each other!
* Submitting metadata related to PMVs featuring deepfakes is permitted.
* In Discrod, use the spoiler option for NSFW images.
* Do not ask for or share video files.
===Core Principles===
* '''Use good judgement in all situations.'''
This is the number 1 principle. The entire [[PMV]] scene exists thanks to the work of passionate volunteers. PMV Stash can only be successful thanks to the joint efforts of its members.
* '''We want comprehensive and accurate data that looks good.'''
PMVs are essentially an ''underground'' and ''amateur'' art-form. Consequently, accurate information tends to decay and disappear (e.g. dead links, unknown original release dates) and presentation can be inconsistent and haphazard. We want PMV Stash to counter this entropy by preserving metadata and promoting the more aesthetically appealing elements of the relevant material.
===Scenes===
Guidelines for Scene submissions.
====Title====
* Prefer using the title that appears in the video itself.
* If no title appears in the video, use the title used by the original artist in their release post.
* There are many edge cases for titles, so if these guidelines don't fit, use your own judgement or discuss it with other users.
====Release Date====
* Prefer the earliest release date that is known.
* If only an approximate release date is known, add it. For example "2022-02".
* Add a link to the release post if possible or generally your source for the release date.
* If the source for the release date cannot be linked, simply explain what the source is in your edit comment.
* If release date is unknown, use "1970" or "1970-01-01"
====Cover image====
* Prefer the cover image used by the original artist if available.
* If no original cover image is provided, use a still from the video where the title is featured.
* If none of the above apply, use something that looks good.
====Links====
* Add all relevant links such as "tube site" uploads, reddit release posts, milovana.com release threads, and torrent tracker uploads.
* Linking to private tracker posts is allowed.
'''⚠️WARNING:''' While we are not aware of any private trackers explicitly prohibiting their users from sharing links to the tracker from elsewhere on the Internet, this might be frowned upon by tracker owners. PMV Stash users who wish to publish links to private torrent trackers should take care to not associate their PMV Stash identity with any of their private tracker identities. PMV Stash itself allows capturing private torrent tracker links. That being said...
* Linking to public torrents is allowed through btdig.com.
* Do '''NOT''' share direct links to file sharing sites.
Site types with favicons are automatically detected for the links you submit. If a site type is missing and you feel it should be added, please contact the PMV Stash admins.
====Tags====
Tags are meant to help users search effectively. We favor precise tagging with strict tag definitions over bulk or automatic assignment of tags retrieved by scrapers.
* Use the [[Porn Music Video]] tag for all Scenes that don't fit a more precise genre such as [[Cock Hero]], [[Hypno Video]], or [[Compilation]].
====Performers====
* Add performers where known.
* If a performer doesn't exist in PMV Stash, create them.
