=== Text formatting === * Capitalize proper nouns, including names, locations, and titles where applicable. * The umlaut (Γ, ΓΆ) is never to be omitted from a word or phrase that originally contained it. To type an Γ, use <code>Alt+0214</code>. To type an ΓΆ, use <code>Alt+0246</code>. * The first mention of a song, album, person, or otherwise notable concept that has a page on the wiki should link to that page. This applies to the main body of a page's text ''and'' the page's infobox independently of one another. For example, if [[Sandy Pearlman]] is mentioned in both the infobox and the page's main body, both of the instances where his name first appears are to be links to that page. Any subsequent appearances should ''not'' be links. * Song titles, when appearing in the main body of an article, should be posted "in quotation marks." This does not apply to song titles inside of infobox or navbox templates. * Album titles should always be typed in ''italics''. This can be done via the toolbar or by adding two apostrophes (') before and after the desired text. For example, typing <code><nowiki>''Fire of Unknown Origin''</nowiki></code> in the source editor returns the text ''Fire of Unknown Origin''. * The first mention of the page's subject (usually the first word or phrase in an article's text) should always be typed in '''bold'''. This can be done via the toolbar or by adding three apostrophes (') before and after the desired text. For example, typing <code><nowiki>'''Albert Bouchard'''</nowiki></code> returns the text '''Albert Bouchard'''. ** For albums, both rules apply and they must be typed using '''''bold italics'''''. This can be done via the toolbar or by adding five apostrophes (') before and after the desired text. For example, typing <code><nowiki>'''''Extraterrestrial Live'''''</nowiki></code> returns the text '''''Extraterrestrial Live'''''.
