[edit] Notes

  • Order
    • Songs are grouped by song title.
    • If the song is covered by more than one artist, the song should be listed once with each artist who covered it listed alphabetically
    • The original artist should be listed immediately after the song title, in parenthesis [()s]
    • Parenthesis [()s] at the beginning of a song title are ignored for sorting purposes, but should be written in the song title
  • Most old-school sorting rules apply, with one exception:
    • Case is ignored. ("van Halen" is the same as "Van Halen".)
    • Spaces always precede numbers and letters. ("Is This" precedes "Isn't It".)
    • Ignore punctuation. ("What's That" comes between "Whatever" and "Whattup".)
    • Numbers are treated as if they were spelled out. ("42" comes before "7".)
    • For different songs with the same titles, repeat these guidelines to sort by artist name.
  • Wikipedia links
    • Artist links are recommended (since most artist pages exist already).
      • For artist links, check the Wikipedia entry first, since some need to be disambiguated. (For instance, Nirvana should be entered as "[[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]]".)
    • Song titles links are not recommended except when a song article already exists or is being created immediately. (The link can always be added later.)
      • Song links should refer to Wikipedia song entries, not pages about the person named in the song.
      • For linked songs that contain bolded names, use Wiki markup as follows:
