Rainbow Six Siege Esports Wiki:Community/How to Edit/Tournament Live Coverage

This page is about live covering a tournament on the wiki! Twitter live coverage is a separate thing. If you'd like to do livetweets for us, apply!

Outline
There are several parts to live covering a tournament on the wiki. None of them individually is particularly difficult, but there's a bunch of them so you may want to bookmark this page and refer back to it as needed.

Before the game starts
 * Update the team rosters page, adding new lines if needed
 * Add the pick/ban order

After a game ends (not the last in the series)
 * Update the results in picks & bans
 * If playoffs, put the result of the game into the bracket on the results page & on featured leagues, but don't bold anything yet
 * If applicable, add the MVP to the Match Details page

After a game ends (and it's BO1 or the last in the series)
 * Update the results in picks & bans
 * If applicable, add the MVP to the Match Details page
 * On the overview page:
 * Type the result into the Schedule & VODs section
 * If regular season, update the standings, changing the order if necessary
 * If regular season, update the crosstable
 * If regular season, type the result into the Matches section
 * If playoffs, update the bracket, including moving the winning and/or losing teams to the next round if applicable. Bold the winner's name and score.
 * Update the Featured Leagues page

At the end of a day or week of games
 * Update the VODs page once the VODs are available
 * If applicable, update the timeline
 * If applicable, update the MVPs / OP 5 / etc

That may seem like a lot, but almost everything takes less than 30 seconds to do!

Instructions by Page
Note that these instructions go really indepth and cover a lot of specific scenarios! It's a lot easier than it may seem at first from this wall of text!!

Featured Leagues
The featured leagues page is what creates the event slider on the front page. Not all tournaments will be included in Featured Leagues, but if a tournament is, then you can find a link to its page here under the heading "All Pages that contain the content." Editing the featured leagues page is just like editing a normal wikipage. Remember to use preview! Your changes will go live on the front page if you save a mistake!

Overview Page
The design of the overview page varies a lot between regular seasons and playoffs.

Regular Season update:
 * In Schedule & VODs, put in the score of the series.,  , and  . These are game scores, so it'll be 0-1, 1-2, etc. Winner is 0 or 1 or 2. 0 is for a tie in a BO2, 1 is for team 1 won, and 2 is for team 2 won. This template is unable to perform arithmetic based on score, so you do need to specify a winner. In the case of a forfeit, put   (blue team forfeited) or   and delete  . (red team forfeited). (Forfeit = the game wasn't played, a surrender is a normal victory.) Here is an example of a forfeited game:
 * 


 * In Matches, write which team won each game (aka "map") of the series. If it's BO1, there will only be one game. This is 1 and 2 based on the order in which they're written on the wiki! Ingame side doesn't matter! Also write which team won the series overall. If it was a forfeit write  or  . The first is if the first team forfeited; the second is if the second team forfeited.
 * For standings, see documentation here. TL;DR: cut and paste the lines into the correct order, fill in the numbers, and put  if a team is tied with the one ABOVE!!!! it. If a team is only tied with a team below it, do not put.
 * In the crossbox, just fill in the cell for the game or series that just happened. The first number corresponds to the row, which in turn corresponds to the team from whose point of view you're writing it in. If team 3 beat team 7, then  and  . You can see a bit more information in Category:Crossboxes. If you're doing a series, then   means series score, and   means game score. So you could have   if team 3 won one series 2-0 and team 7 won one series 2-1 during the course of the season.

Playoffs update:
 * After a game, just update the score so far, without bolding anything
 * After a series, bold the winning team's name (using s) and the winning team's score. Continue filling out the bracket if it's not the final round.
 * If the final round is a qualifier, then use  for the score. (Or 2 or 1 depending on how many games were won). See the bracket here for an example.
 * If a series was forfeited, the loser's score is, and the winner's score is  . This is only if the whole series is forfeited. If just one game was forfeited, put the score as normal, but you may want to add a footnote below the bracket explaining the situation.
 * After a series, fill in schedule & VODs as explained above. In this case, again only use the forfeit instructions if the entire series was forfeited.

Team Rosters Page
See documentation here. Also see examples here and here.

A few common mistakes / things to troubleshoot if something seems wrong:
 * Did you remember to increase  by 1?
 * If you're adding the team logos in the round names, did you accidentally leave four s after the second-to-last line instead of putting them only after the last line? Each name line should end with   until only the last one ends with  . So if you copy-paste the last line to put one more below it, remember to delete those two extra  s.
 * Did you forget to increment the index of the name when copy-pasting that line?

Picks & Bans Page
See documentation here. Please read the "What to Enter" section! This page is not spoiler-free. If a BO5 series only goes to 3 games, delete the last 2 blocks.

VODs
This is just a wikitable, so if you've completed the tutorial, then you know what to do. This page is spoiler-free though, so add fake links (just duplicate the last real set of links) if the series doesn't go all the way.

The best way to get timestamps is to copy from /r/loleventvods. If they aren't covering an event, then you have to go to youtube to get links yourself. Please do not index non-YouTube VODs!! To get a timestamp, click "Share" in the tab below the video and check the box that says "Start at:". Then pause the video at the start of pick/ban, copy the link given to you there, and then paste it; then do the same for start of game, etc.
