Welcome to the Wiki Standards! This is where discussion and documentation of the standards and guidelines for how bootleg articles should be written take place. Don't forget to include your wiki signature if you add commentary here, and have fun!

== Bootleg article formatting (perpetually
=== Bootleg Infobox ===
When you are copying and pasting this Infobox bootleg template, remove the comments (and the newlines after them) after you have filled the necessary parameters in.
It is advised that you do not include a newline after the Infobox bootleg template, as you will end up with an annoying bar at the top of the article.

'''(Bootleg name)''' (also known as (other name(s) if any) is a bootleg (describe bootleg here (e.g. (reference original_os from infobox) edition, live (ditto) CD, etc), which was created by (reference creator from infobox). It released on (reference release_date from infobox), and was added to the archive on (reference archiveadd from infobox)
== Description ==
The bootleg is a modified (reference original_os from infobox) ISO. (Specify any integrations the bootleg comes with. For example, the DriverPacks version, RyanVM, etc). It comes with its own boot selector (if any). (Describe the purpose of the bootleg and what is added and what is removed, in brief). It comes with its own autorun (if any), and WPI (if any).
== Changes from (reference original_os from infobox) ==
(This section, along with Software, and Notes, should be split into 3 sections.)
(In here there will be the subsections Minor changes, Changes in pre-desktop procedures, and Look and feel.
== Software ==
(If there is absolutely no software bundled, then it's optional. Most of the time, it isn't.)
== Notes ==
(If there is nothing to note, then it's optional.)
== Gallery ==
(The gallery goes here. For themes, and other miscellanea, put them in their own sub-sections.
To see how to properly create the gallery where all screenshots of the bootleg are, see the Bootleg Gallery section.

* Usually, they will be in the SVCPACK folder, but be sure to check <code>SVCPACK.INF</code>. It may be especially important if it's in a different folder (CatalogSubDir entry), the specific order of installing programs (SetupHotfixesToRun section), product catalogs (ProductCatalogsToInstall section) etc.

To create a gallery in the Source Editor, just click the Gallery button in the Insert section and fill everything out. The procedures to do this are covered below.
Do we really count [[Linux]] as bootlegs? its crusty, sure but bootleg? that's debatable [[User:Yellows111|yellows111]] ([[User talk:Yellows111|talk]]) 12:55, 4 January 2023 (UTC)▼
For Visual Editor users,
: Counter-point: [[Windows 12 Lite]] exists, so i'm not sure what to say about this topic. Huh. [[User:Yellows111|yellows111]] ([[User talk:Yellows111|talk]]) 16:03, 4 January 2023 (UTC)▼
== Screenshot Criteria Discussion ==▼
=== Version 1 ===▼
* If stock assets are used, do not bother capturing, if filler is needed, then this clause can be changed to "use the template image of File:X_Y_(Stock)"▼
* <s>A gallery must not use the same image as the infobox's screenshot parameter</s> No longer affected with recent changes.▼
* Never use the same image twice (EXCEPT the infobox image). Doing such will break galleries. Nobody wants that.▼

== Template Standards ==▼
* If you use an image for the love of all crust in the sky PLEASE make your file references have a empty link parameter. (<nowiki>[[File:whatever.png|link=]]</nowiki>)▼
* Not doing the above makes the template image able to be clicked on and thus previewed by MediaViewer. This makes for a bad user experience where the first image can be a random icon.▼

All screenshots '''must''' be captured in PNG format, taken from a VM screen (doesn't matter how you get a VM running) and if the screenshot is taken from a hypervisor, be cropped to just the VM screen (for obvious reasons).
It is generally recommended to leave everything in its default configuration, and not change anything when you're capturing bootleg screenshots.
