+ | |- | ||
+ | | 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)''' | ||
