Exceptions and Miscellany
Always make the record “Hidden” if it is incomplete
Non-Recitals
Some videos (and perhaps other items) may not align exactly with the guidelines in this documentation, e.g.: interviews or promotional videos
A couple of specific things to keep in mind:
The record should always accurately describe the specific item
Information should be as clear as possible for users
Depending on the specific instance, some information may need to be omitted, added, or changed from the examples above in the interest of clarity and accuracy
Specific Scenarios
Here are some specific situations and possible adjustments/considerations:
If: |
Changes |
Examples |

|
