TASVideos Wiki [ArticleIndex] revamp - Originally was a list of links organized for TASers

%%TOC%%

List used to create new ArticleIndex

!! Page TODOs
* [Glossary] <-- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_video_game_terms
* [EncodingGuide/VideoDumping] - Requires ffmpeg for BizHawk 2.6.2: Go to File > 
* [TASingGuide] <-- This page should be slightly reformatted to focus on primarily on TASing and ideally moving TASVideos relevant links into this page. 
Should include these 2 pages: 
** [Japanese Resources]
** [Japanese Fantasy Elements]
* [GenericTips] <-- This page should be broken down while preserving original content like the tutorial videos

!! TODO
* The original purpose of this page was to have a single page with all relevant links categorized instead of [ArticleIndex]'s tabs method, which disables CTRL+F.
* Later I decided to avoid it because the site has a good searching function, so instead with logical and reasonable orders and formatting, revamping the ArticleIndex to be more useful and organized. Might result in 1-1 duplicates because of the overlapping interest for different TASers (encoders, judges, staff, TASers etc)
* add more links especially from or to [Links]
* add elaboration where required
* consider merging relevant TAS creation links Lab and Tools to TASing Guide
