+ | |- | ||
+ | | style="color:#000"|Song titles should always have first letters capitalized, even with small words. For instance, ''Down In It'' would normally be formatted ''Down in it'', but this does not look quite right and can be confusing in some cases. Here are some general guidelines: | ||
+ | *All First Letters Must Be Capitalized For Releases And Song Titles | ||
+ | *Song titles should be in "quotes", while album titles should be in ''italics'' | ||
+ | *Page names for songs should be '''Song Title''', unless there is also a [[Halo numbers|halo]] for it, in which case it should be '''Song Title (song)''' | ||
+ | *Page names for [[Halo numbers|halos]] should be '''Song Title (halo)''' | ||
+ | *For example: [[With Teeth (song)]] and [[With Teeth (halo)]] | ||

+ | |- | ||
+ | |style="color:#000"| | ||
+ | The Nine Inch Nails discography is expansive and can be confusing. A Wiki is the perfect place to catalog, in detail, each NIN release and NIN song. To help out: | ||
+ | *Create song pages using the [[NinWiki:SongLayout|Song Layout]], which will standardize song pages. | ||
+ | *Add the [[:Category:NIN Songs|NIN Songs]] category to songs and the [[:Category:NIN Discography|NIN Discography]] category to releases and etc. | ||
+ | *<u>Do not</u> add links to mp3 files of songs. If you ''really'' think the article needs it, ask an [[NinWiki:Staff|Admin]] first. | ||
+ | *Add [[Year Zero]] stuff as it comes up. After all, that's what this Wiki was created for originally! | ||
