* Right now, '''we're basing all album articles''' off the [[Rat i mir|Rat i Mir]] article, since it's nicely structured and had lots of good features. Use it as a template. | * Right now, '''we're basing all album articles''' off the [[Rat i mir|Rat i Mir]] article, since it's nicely structured and had lots of good features.

* Please '''write your page titles in the Latin alphabet''' and not Cyrillic. if we randomly use both, it makes organizing things extremely messy, and users basically need to search for it twice. Be sure to use proper special characters for article names (Example: Make sure "Živeće" in isn't spelled "Zivice" in "Živeće ovaj narod") or else you get a similar issue. | * Please '''write your page titles in the Latin alphabet''' and not Cyrillic. if we randomly use both, it makes organizing things extremely messy, and users basically need to search for it twice.

* On the topic of titles, please '''outline the title of the subject in bold when starting an article'''. Album titles '''must be in italics''' (i.e. ''Živeće ovaj narod'') and song titles must be in quotations (i.e."Živeće ovaj narod"). With song titles, only bold the song title itself, not the quotations. | |||
* '''Formatting translations of albums is as follows:''' ''Album'' (Serbian Cyrillic: Албум, <small>lit.</small> "Album") where lit. is short for "literal [English] translation". If you don't know what the translation of the album is, you don't have to put it in. You can omit the Cyrillic if your album doesn't have it. | |||
* For Westerners/Serbian language learners: '''this is not Discogs'''; you do not need to capitalize every single word in a song and/or album title. With special exceptions, '''the only things that are capitalized are names of people and names of places'''. If you do not know which word gets capitalized, try to see if your j-card has the correct spelling, or check to see if a pre-existing YouTube video or (if possible) a Spotify release shows how you spell it. If you make a mistake while publishing a page regarding an album, you will have to move the page and contact an admin to delete the redirected page. '''No all caps, either''' unless if it's an abbreviation. | |||
* '''Cassette variants''' are tapes with different tape shells, different j-cards, and/or different markings. If you have a variant of any tape, feel free to add it in the "variants" section. Try to make your submission consistent with other examples from other articles. You're allowed to post bootleg tapes, just don't spam them, and certainly don't post ones you make yourself. | * '''Cassette variants''' are tapes with different tape shells, different j-cards, and/or different markings.

You're also allowed to attribute yourself as a source when adding variants. | * When adding '''variants''' order your images as follows: '''J-card Front, J-card Back, Cassette Side A, Cassette Side B.'''
