Regarding applications: Would a screenshot Let's Play qualify for a history section? Screenshot Let's Plays are blog posts in which one commentates and discusses a video game accompanied by screenshots and gifs of the gameplay. I'm not sure whether it's common for all screenshot LPs to be super detailed, but the one I know of for my canon (Wandersong) goes through literally everything in the game in great detail, including transcripts of all of the dialogue, and a few links to videos of special parts of gameplay including boss fights and silly moments that can't be captured in screenshots alone.

This will probably still be accompanied with actual written history, come to think of it, but I thought I'd ask.
