I was wondering where you would go to post media that has unknown important information. For example, media that we don't know the name of, that we don't know the creator of, or that we don't know the time period of.

I'm asking because I thought the Unidentified Media forms would be able to have posts like this but it appears that they would not follow the rules. While I don't have anything specific in mind to post in there, I would be interested in seeing and discussing this sort of media but I don't know where it would be.

Well, with regards to "media we don't know the name of" that's exactly what unidentified media is. And oftentimes, with unidentified media, we don't know who made it, where it was made, or when it was made. There's often a correlation between all of these. So something like that would fit in Unidentified Media.

If you mean as far as the wiki is concerned, then it would go into the media section it closely relates to. We have a lot of articles for media we have documentation of, but certain aspects of it are unknown. For example, whenever we get a thread on Katsudō Shashin, that would go in the found media/animation section, even if we don't know who the creator is.

For this specifically, the song's not lost, so it would still go in unidentified media since people are trying to find the name of something rather than the thing itself
