Quote Writing Guide

Examples show first-time contributors how to use the same standards for type, title, content, optional sources, and Vuttons.

Remember these three things before writing

A quote entry is not a long, perfect document. It is a clear and accurate record of one expression.

One entry, one quote

Use what is heard

Facts and context

1. Choose the type first

Use Habit (HABIT) for expression patterns that need another word inserted to be complete. Use Quote (QUOTE) when the title stands on its own and should be indexed alphabetically.

💡 Examples make it easier

BAD

Marking every repeated standalone expression as a Habit

GOOD

~가 와 or ○○ 나니 → Habit / 나니고레 → Quote

✅ Check

Check whether ~ or ○○ is a real replaceable slot rather than vocal elongation.
Keep standalone expressions as Quotes even when repeated so they appear in the 가나다 or ABC index.

2. Write the title as it is heard

Readers should know what they will hear from the title alone. Keep reactions and long scene explanations in the content only when needed.

💡 Examples make it easier

BAD

The legendary moment when the boss battle was really surprising

GOOD

That really startled me!

✅ Check

Center the title on words that were actually spoken.
Check for an exact title and type duplicate before creating a new entry.

3. Leave factual context in the content

Briefly explain the circumstances around the expression. Do not guess at emotions, intent, or relationships that cannot be verified.

💡 Examples make it easier

BAD

They were clearly angry and attacked the viewers here.

GOOD

This was said while checking chat immediately after losing the game.

✅ Check

Describe a situation and sequence that another person can verify.
Prioritize context needed for understanding over personal evaluation.

4. Add sources and Vuttons when useful

Sources and Vuttons are both optional. Add a verifiable URL or a public Vutton from the same Creator when available; text alone is still a complete entry.

💡 Examples make it easier

BAD

Enter an unverified URL only because no Vutton or source is available

GOOD

Save the text first, then add a verifiable URL or public Vutton when one is available

✅ Check

Confirm that a source suggested from a Vutton matches the quote context.
Keep a needed source separately even if the linked Vutton is removed.

5. Make a record others can improve

Any ACTIVE user can edit a quote. Do not add personal data, manipulation, harassment, or distorted context, and correct inaccurate information with current facts.

💡 Examples make it easier

BAD

Include personal data, assume intent, or add a demeaning description

GOOD

Keep only verifiable speech and context, then correct the record when an error is found

✅ Check

Do not arbitrarily link or translate quotes written in another language.
Check the latest content before editing so another contributor's work is not overwritten.
