::Okay; thanks for the replies and clarification. Yeah, I was trying to use the [[Cloud]] disambiguation page as a gauge (along with [[Thunder]] and [[Counter]]), although due to how recently the Cloud page was made, I was somewhat hesitant about adhering to it.

== Formatting of music titles == | |||
How are the titles of musical compositions/"songs" supposed to be formatted? I have seen italics used in quite a few areas, although I thought that the standard was using quotation marks ("") ([http://writersrelief.com/blog/2008/03/properly-format-your-titles-underlines-italics-and-quotes/ first source], [https://thewritepractice.com/song-album-titles/ second source]) for song titles? Wikipedia also advocates [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Titles#Quotation_marks the usage of quotation marks] for song titles and instrumental compositions. Instrumental compositions seem to vary somewhat, although songs with vocals seem to follow the "quotation mark" guideline, although I'm not sure what SmashWiki should use overall.. Thanks in advance for the help. [[User:Fenyx4|Fenyx4]] ([[User talk:Fenyx4|talk]]) 23:29, 18 November 2015 (EST) | |||

Disambiguation pages
How are disambiguation pages supposed to be handled? Are the entries supposed to be ordered alphabetically or in terms of relevancy/commonness/"most-likely search term"? Thanks in advance for the help. Fenyx4 (talk) 21:50, 18 November 2015 (EST)
- Judging by this, I'd say relevance. Disaster Flare (talk) 21:56, 18 November 2015 (EST)
- Relevance, definitely. The Cloud disambig and Zero (disambiguation) are good examples of this. Miles (talk) 22:47, 18 November 2015 (EST)
Formatting of music titles
How are the titles of musical compositions/"songs" supposed to be formatted? I have seen italics used in quite a few areas, although I thought that the standard was using quotation marks ("") (first source, second source) for song titles? Wikipedia also advocates the usage of quotation marks for song titles and instrumental compositions. Instrumental compositions seem to vary somewhat, although songs with vocals seem to follow the "quotation mark" guideline, although I'm not sure what SmashWiki should use overall.. Thanks in advance for the help. Fenyx4 (talk) 23:29, 18 November 2015 (EST)
