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's is also a [[Halo numbers|halo release with the same name. Then the ]] for it, in which case it should be '''Song Title (song is on the <name> )'''*Page names for [[Halo numbers|halos]] should be '''Song Title (halo)'''*For example: [[With Teeth (song) page ]] and [[With Teeth (halo)]]|-! <div style="margin: 0; background:#cef2e0; font-family: sans-serif; font-size:120%; font-weight:bold; border:1px solid #a3bfb1; text-align:left; color:#000; padding-left:0.4em; padding-top: 0.2em; padding-bottom: 0.2em;">NinWiki IRC</div>|-| style="color:#000"|If you would like to chat with us, the halo '''NinWiki IRC''' channel is located on Freenode.

For exampleA Wiki is the perfect place to catalog, in detail, March Of The Pigseach NIN release and NIN song. The To help out:*Create song goes on pages using the [[March Of The Pigs (song)NinWiki:SongLayout|Song Layout]], which will standardize song pages. It is in *Add the [[:Category:NIN Songs|NIN Songs]] category to songs and the [[:Category:NIN SongsDiscography|NIN Discography]] category to releases and etc.*<u>Do not</u> add links to mp3 files of songs.
