I am new here and I want to check a rule with staff before I write anything, because the Spam section of the General Rules says advertising needs prior approval from an administrator, and that new users engaging in commercial spam are banned on sight. I would rather ask than find out the hard way.
I run a stats site for TFT and League. I would like to write a Set 18 comp guide in the Teamfight Tactics category. The guide itself would be real written content, not a link dump, and I would maintain it across patches as the rules require.
My question is narrow: may I credit my own site as the source of the numbers I use, with one link, in the place where I state where the data comes from?
Any of these answers works for me:
- Yes, one source credit in the guide body is fine.
- Yes, but signature link only, not in the body.
- No links at all, write the guide without attribution.
I will follow whatever you say. If the answer is no, I may still write the guide, I just want the sourcing question settled before I start rather than after.
Thanks.

As long as the guide is thorough, informative, reliable and useful, you're free to link to your stats site, as long as it's relevant to the context you're presenting.
Have fun, and thanks for checking! 😁
