If I beat my own personal record, which also happens to be the current world record, what's the correct way to write it in the video title on YouTube? I wrote something like ''Game XYZ Speedrun [WR][PB]''. Is that wrong? Should I just write [WR] again, even if it's an improvement over the previous record?

English is not my first language, and I'm relatively new to speedrunning, so I honestly don't know.

your youtube video title does not matter what so ever. you can make it "cute cat videos" if you wanted. now of course if you want people to find it by searching on youtube then you might want to care what you title it as.

but generally if i have put [WR] somewhere in my title, i would later go back to edit that to [OldWR] once it was outdated. ive never used or seen anyone use [PB] because thats obvious, you wouldnt upload a run that wasnt a pb and if you did you would probably title it to explain why you uploaded it.

i personally just title my videos as:

gamename | categoryname | timeachieved

PipoSaru 2001 | Any% (Normal) | 1:52:23

Super Castlevania IV | Any% | 40:53

Ape Escape | 2 Players 1 Controller w/ Tohelot | 53:33 [WR]

i dont really put any [wr] tags anymore because it gets annoying to have to update the titles. that ape escape run is an exception because i think the run is cool :D

I see. Thanks for the explanation @SioN

ive had one run that i needed to verify and the video title was along the lines of "hi sion"

lol Really? That's funny :D

I think I will avoid naming WR and PB all together. It's like you've said: it's annoying changing the titles.

Anyway, thanks again for the help.
