WP:ONEWAY questions and case study

Hello: I'm curious to know if there's a precedent for dealing with the following issue:

Suppose some online community exists that is focused on some given theme. If both the community and the theme have wiki pages, and the community page links to the theme page, what sort of standard of notability (or otherwise) should be used to decide whether the theme page should link to the community page?

The specific practical version of this question that I'm concerned about now is whether links should be included from Masturbation to NoFap. This is discussed on the relevant talk page: Talk:Masturbation#MEDRS. Critics have suggested that NoFap is not notable and that it represents a "fringe" view. However, it has 200000 members at present and has been around since 2011, so to me it seems stable and significant enough to mention, if it is suitably contextualised. There are plenty of articles in the popular press linking the topics, and some research articles as well. However, there is some disagreement on the issue, given that NoFap is not "mainstream". Please comment on the above-mentioned talk page if you have a chance. Thanks! I'll be interested to learn your point of view. Arided (talk)

Shock Sites Revisions

Hello! I have been revising the Shock Site page as previously there was very little information about it. I integrated the old information into the sections I added about History, Legality, Morality and Media when I first revised the page. Would anyone be willing/able to look at the site and make recommendations of any more changes to make? Additionally, another user asked to add back the original information at the end under "Examples", which means the information is now duplicated. I am considering removing it from the other sections, but that means the Media section will likely have to be removed as there will be little information and leaving BestGore out of the History section feels like missing part of the story (so to speak). Do you have any advice on what I should do? -Bcstanley1 (talk) 05:00, 12 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How to Cite Twitter (to use as a reference)?

I know that Wikipedia wants Wiki articles to utilize written published articles as references. When the subject is mostly about activity on twitter: How does one properly cite & reference twitter? Tinting2020 (talk) 18:05, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The template to achieve this is {{cite tweet}}. However, ProveIt makes the process easier as the template is built into the gadget. Jalen Folf (talk) 18:37, 9 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Project YouTube

Hi, WikiProject YouTube appears to be inactive/defunct, i.e., there are no obvious activities, also see WT:WikiProject YouTube#Closing shop? with some related alerts since December 2019. Zombie projects are bad for lots of reasons, and one possible way to fix this could be to merge everything YouTube to your project, because a project with a focus on one Google company is anyway odd, e.g., Social in the City is (now) about Internet culture including Instagram, Twitch, and YouTube.
I'm talking about roughly 1,200 pages, and some (many?) are already also covered here. Counter-example, so far Kim Iversen is not covered here, journalism on YouTube is fine, but not exactly my idea of "Internet culture". Similar example, Emma Blackery as VidCon + SitC panelist should be okay here, but if she were only a musician on YouTube this wouldn't be clear.
What do you think of "inheriting" project YouTube almost wholesale, assuming that it ends up as defunct and not only inactive? Presumably that would be a bot job, for all talk pages in namespace 1 (article talk pages) remove project YouTube and if necessary add project Internet culture. –84.46.53.188 (talk) 04:06, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What are those "lots of reasons"? Please link or list. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 16:20, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WT:WikiProject YouTube#Closing shop? Apart from checking AFDs + PRODs projects could help with reassessments on the way to class=A and/or offer up to date article guidelines. One good example I'm aware of is the project for albums. –84.46.52.151 (talk) 04:41, 20 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
