Questions about requesting

Hi ! I would like to request a game which is not in the list (Populous 3 : The Beginning), but I'm new here and I have some questions about requesting.

Populous 3 is a game divided into 25 levels, so we generally make segmented runs (one run per level). To request a game, I need to link a run of the game. Can I link a Youtube playlist with 25 videos, or do I have to make a single video with my 25 runs inside ?

Also, I have a Youtube channel with my runs on since three weeks, but it was before knowing speedrun.com, so there is an intro (channel intro) at the beginning of the videos (during 6 seconds). Is it okay or do I have to reupload the videos without the intro ? Example here :

And my last question : I don't have all my videos with all my runs on my Youtube channel for the moment, but it will come soon. Do I have to wait or can I start requesting the game now ?

Thank you in advance ! :D

If you show the mods a video that shows some speedrunning gameplay they might be happy enough. For easyness of watching if someone wanna see it imho removing the intro might not be that bad of an idea. you can always make an IL leaderboard for your segments (if everyone uses them) and a seperate fullgame leaderboard in case someone runs that. If the videos show enough of the game for now use that to request the game and set up the leaderboard and get your run on asap.
