My 2 cents:

1. My suggestion: "RIP" (bold, in quotemarks) is a high quality rip of "TRACK" (non-bold, non-italic, in quotemarks) from the game GAME (italic).

I agree that putting "by SiIvaGunner" on every single rip in the SiIvaGunner wiki is pointless. I understand that it's like that on Wikipedia, but Wikipedia hosts info about thousands of artists. This wiki only hosts info about SiIvaGunner. So saying that every single time is just superfluous. I agree that mentioning the track name and game title again reinforces the kayfabe nicely, and helps people easily see what's the track name and what's the game title (it's not always easy, if the game's obscure and has a weird title).

I don't think the date needs to be mentioned in the intro. I understand that it could look nice, but the problem is, a lot of rips have 2 upload dates (GiIvaSunner and SiIvaGunner), and some rips have inconsistent info on the upload date or other complications. It would complicate the intro too much. Better keep it to the infobox, and the Trivia section.

I strongly disagree with mentioning an event in the intro. Imho the intros should be entirely in kayfabe, keeping with the spirit of the channel. I.e. someone should hypothetically be able to read the intro and still think it's about an actual video game music rip. Mentioning an event or any lore would break that facade.

2. I don't have any specific opinion on this. But thinking about it – how about we just put wiki links there? The playlist and album pages would already have links to the respective YouTube and Bandcamp pages, wouldn't they? So to save both wiki space, and time spent on articles, I think putting just wiki links would suffice.
