   * Terrible/outdated page photos. Look for photos posted in-universe, publicity shots for actors who appear, and if you can't find those, then go for screenshots from the show which a normal wiki probably wouldn't use. Mid-action photos are fun, but don't get too crazy with it. It still needs to be identifiable as the subject of the page.
   * Topic whiplash. You can write your sentences in a way that reading them normally makes the events seem even more out of nowhere and ridiculous. Consider the following: "Gregg temporarily became host of the show after Tim was jailed for potentially murdering 20 teenagers at an EDM concert he organized." Underselling the start of a sentence lets you hit the reader with a whammy midway through. You might also try setting up page links or tweet citations in a similar manner, such as "The tour was suspended because of a vehicular incident" linking to an article about a horrible car crash.
+  * Unnecessary movie trivia. If you feel like you can make a connection to a movie when writing trivia, feel free. Example seen on the [[:matt]] page: "Matt was born on September 11, 2001, the same day the movies United 93 (2006, 110 mins.) and World Trade Center (2006, 129 mins.) took place." Nothing past the date actually matters, but feels like something that would be brought up by Gregg like it mattered. Don't go overboard with it, though.
 ===== When to italicize, when to quote, when to etc. =====
 To ease up on some inconsistencies around here, this is the preferred style guide when mentioning content in-universe and out-of-universe:
   * When mentioning //On Cinema at the Cinema// episodes mid-article, don't refer to it by the episode title or by the wiki article title (like [[:s14e01]]), instead just call it [[:s14e01|S14E01]] or, if the article is related to something in [[:season14|that season]], [[:s14e01|episode 1]].
-  * When mentioning //On Cinema// podcast titles, just say [[:pod1|episode 1]].
+  * When mentioning //On Cinema// podcast titles, just say [[:pod1|episode 1]], or "[[:pod1|episode 1]] of the [[:podcast|podcast]]" when referring back to the podcast in other series.
   * Italicize show titles: //[[:ocatc]]//
     * Season 13 and Season 14 should be referred to by their in-universe names, and therefore italicized: //[[:season13]]// and //[[:season14]]//
+      * While [[:season15|Season 15]] and [[:season16|Season 16]] also have alternate titles (//On Cinema at the Cinema at Movie House//, //at the ESA//, //at the Manor//), these are still considered part of the main //OCATC// series and should just be referred to as season 15 and 16.
   * Italicize movie titles: //[[:misteramerica]]//, //Oh God!//
   * Italicize the individual seasons of //Decker//: //[[:decker1]]//, //[[:deckeranimated]]//
   * Italicize Oscar Specials when referred to by their full name: //[[:oscar10]]//
   * Put show segments in quotes except when listed in an infobox: "[[:onlocation]]"
+    * One exception: When referring to movies inducted into "[[:popcornclassics]]", you can say Popcorn Classic or Popcorn Classics without quotes: The [[:popcornclassics|Popcorn Classic]] //Multiplicity//
   * Put //Decker// episode titles in quotes: "[[:d04e01|All Good Things...]]"
   * Put song titles in quotes: "[[:emptybottle]]"

 WST has support for modular templates, but we do not have any templates that support that yet.
+WST will also, for whatever reason, **not update the template instantly** on pages that already have the template you are editing. It might take hours or days. kianworld often brute forces it to update whenever he edits it by very quickly disabling and enabling the add-on in Admin settings.
