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

Table of contents

List used to create new ArticleIndex

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:

- JapaneseResources
- JapaneseFantasyElements
GenericTips <-- This page should be broken down while preserving original content like the tutorial videos

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
