With respect, the whole point of the Source Writer system is the the format *is* standardised in accordance with the principles of Evidence Explained by Elizabeth Shown Mills, and available from Legacy.
Whilst I use Source Writer, I do not consider it necessary to complete all fields in most cases, and sometimes use them for unintended purposes, but this is *my* choice and not a recommendation. What you include in a Source Citation is entirely up to yourself. With respect to copyright material, if the use is dependant on the inclusion of specified material, eg. a link to a website, then this can usually be included in a comment, or maybe the Repository, it rather depends on what the information is. The Help files also give pretty good instructions on the use of the Source Writer system.

I have some with the cemetery name in the Burial location and some with the name in the description field of cemetery event with address in comment field and plot location also in the comment field. I want to be able to access all entries in a cemetery. I can find on standard for this and several other entries ie census and some marriage data. Is there a prefered or standard for particular data entries? Format of Source List is not standardized. When using copywrited data with permission how am I to be sure all manditory data is printed or gathered? I know there are several questions in one query, but I have finally reached a level where I am not just gathering information but sorting and displaying my results. Thank you for any assistance. L.
