ATM:Formatting

Our wiki has a strict formatting guide to ensure maximum mobile and computer support as well as the best-possible looking page. We utilize Wikipedia's writing style and tone as well as their content policies and ask all editors of this Wiki to utilize this form and tone. It is also encouraged to use the Source Editor as much as possible. For more information about all these policies and rules, view the Rules page.

Artist pages
Artist pages should use the standardized stage name or most popular pseudonym for an artist; for example, the page on "Kanye West" is named such because, though his legal name is 'Ye', most people know him as 'Kanye West.' However, his name is listed as Ye on the page itself. Full names should be given only in the 'birth name' section of the infobox. Other than this, we also follow Wikipedia's method of biography. Sources are encouraged for as many things as they can be applied to, and we ask for subjectivity to be quoted and put in a 'reception'/'criticism' section.

Release pages
Release pages are pages dedicated to a specific release like an album, extended play, or mixtape.

Titles
Titles should be formatted as such: Artist Name / Title of Release (no quotation marks). If an album, EP, mixtape, or single share the same name, put 'Album', 'EP', 'Single', or 'Mixtape' next to the Title. In the article itself, put song names in quotation marks, not in italics. Since this Wiki uses Modern Language Association (MLA) format, shorter works such as quotations, song titles, or movement titles are in quotation marks, and larger works such as albums, films, or other media are in italics.

Song pages
Songs are not attached to artists, however, if an artist releases a song or cover as a single, that gets its own release page (see above). However, song pages are not used much for information, just as a gateway to all the single releases of a song that may exist. As an example, the page for "In Other Words" (a.k.a "Fly Me to the Moon") lists the releases of the song. So, the information regarding the creation and debut of the song is on the debut recording's page (Kaye Ballard / In Other Words), even though Kaye Ballard was not directly involved in the making of the song. Other versions (i.e. Frank Sinatra / Fly Me to the Moon) go over how and why Sinatra chose that song to perform and how that specific single did in the charts.
