Even if I agree with all of you about the fact that a preservation/restoration etc. should be propagated around the web to keep it alive, we are out of topic now...

I thought we need to distinguish between a mere preservation (capture from analog video, scan from movie, rip from niche digital video) and a preservation with some sort of restoration...

***

1b) Fan Enhanced Preservation (provisional name)

The same as fan preservation, but with some sort of enhancement (noise reduction, conversion from letterbox to anamorphic) not as extensive as a restoration.

1c) Fan Restored Preservation (provisional name)

The same as fan preservation, but with extensive enhancement, the same level of a fan restoration - the only difference is the fact that the preservation has not a BROAD digital release (yet)

I think the reconstruction should be deleted, and instead a fan recreation could be considered a sub set of a restoration.

2b) Fan Recreation

The most meticolous kind of restoration; it attempts to restore a film version closest to its original theatrical release, using various video sources (also different from the film itself like trailers, documentaries, and even other films), applying every kind of restoration work, and more, to obtain the best restoration ever possible. For example, where a restoration will use a one-for-all technique for the whole movie, the reconstruction will use the best technique for each scene or eventually single frames.

3) (deleted)

***

I don't know if restored extended edition should have its own subcategory below extended edition, or could be considered as a subcategory of restoration.

***

4b) Fan Restored Extended Edition (provisional name)

The same as fan extended edition, but the restoration is applied to the main features and extended scenes as well.

***

It will be better to drop the word bootleg

7) Workprints

Low quality cams/telecines/VHS captures of alternative workprint versions or lost theatrical cuts.
