== Where to look to obtain information for... ==
==== Infobox parameters, particularly... ====
===== forked_from =====
If you've looked at a bootleg before and then check another bootleg, and if you notice any similarities between the two, then you should look for more evidence to confirm if it's forked or not. Try comparing the two ISO's together and doing some digging. Good examples of forked bootlegs are [[Android XP]] vs. [[Skype XP]].
===== release_date =====
Check the ISO for the most recent file date you can find. It is highly recommended to look for any "release notes" or README's, as those can have valuable information, in some cases more so, than just the bootleg's release date. However, you should always look at the bootleg's original submission (as in looking in #bootleg-submissions for the post about it) for the release dates (and any other information). Asking others can do wonders, as well.
===== creator =====
It can be difficult to determine the original author at times, but it should be pretty easy. Looking at the bootleg's submission and asking others about it can be pretty beneficial too. It is highly recommended that you
===== country =====
You can usually infer the author's country by simply just looking at the system language, but you can also attempt a background check on the author to find their country.
===== size, download =====
You can find the size by literally just looking at the ISO itself. The download link is really easy to find too - you can simply just copy and paste the link from the Crusty Windows collection.
===== archiveadd =====
The first places you should look are:
* [[CrustyWin Wiki:Changelog|The Wiki Changelog]]
* [https://discord.com/channels/1070582862698520667/1070840062578794627 #collection-updates] (very useful resource, this will usually do the trick)
* [https://discord.com/channels/1070582862698520667/1109895513366593579 #bootleg-submissions] (there will be usually a comment saying "Added" or something of that nature, goes back to May 21, 2023)
* [https://discord.com/channels/1070582862698520667/1070591801272062024 #bootleg-submissions-archive] (the original bootleg-submissions channel, before it got replaced with a forum channel for easier organization, ditto for bootleg-submissions, goes back to February 2, 2023)
* Simply ask around (it's always faster to look for it yourself, but you really won't get an answer anywhere else in some cases)
===== timebombdate =====
Use the same method you use to find the build number of a beta build. If you don't know, then just look in the system files for a version number and you'll find it. Or better yet, use Winver to get the build number. Then it's just a matter of looking
