Guide database FAQ
Sources, placeholders and verification
A quick reference for what the current guide database can safely publish, and what waits for gameplay evidence.
Can I use the current guides before full gameplay capture is finished?
Yes, as long as you read the evidence status. The site is already using YouTube evidence rows, public embeds, and timestamp notes where available. Pages marked as launch placeholder, needs gameplay verification, or source pending are useful frameworks, not final mechanic tables.
Can the YouTube links be used as real evidence?
Yes. YouTube links can provide public video embeds, visible gameplay context, timestamps, UI screenshots for internal review, and source rows for specific claims. They are strongest when the claim is narrow: what appears on screen, what menu text is visible, which timestamp shows a boss bar, or which clip demonstrates a behavior.
What can YouTube not prove by itself?
A video title or one loose clip should not become official data. Exact BPM values, hidden rewards, unlock conditions, rank thresholds, patch changes, and final best-route advice still need visible in-game data, repeated timestamped proof, official text, or a reviewer note that explains the measurement.
Why are exact Boss moves not listed yet?
The YouTube boss-fight links are useful and several are already embedded on Boss pages. Move names, phases, punish windows, and result claims become final only after a timestamp range supports the exact claim instead of just showing general combat.
Why are BPM values and rhythm-window numbers missing?
YouTube can help here when it shows calibration UI, song behavior, or a repeatable measurement method. The site still will not publish exact numbers from feel, titles, comments, or one-off guesses.
Will rewards, outfits, achievements, and unlock conditions be added?
Yes. They need screenshots, unlock screens, item names, platform achievement text, and version notes first.
What does source pending mean?
It means the page is intentionally not making a final claim yet. It may explain how to think about a topic while waiting for direct evidence.
Why are there no ads on launch articles?
The launch version is ad-free inside guide articles. Monetization blocks should only return after ad approval and a layout review that protects long-guide readability.
Next evidence step
For YouTube material, the next useful step is claim-specific review: source URL, timestamp range, visible platform or version if present, what the clip proves, and which public guide should change. That lets video evidence become real guide copy without pretending every link is official data.
