Pet Shop Boys Wiki

This document will cover some of the basics (and not so basics) on writing for the PSB Wiki.

Basic Rules[]

Titling[]

When writing the proper names of musical compositions or collections, observe the following guidelines:

Type Rule Examples
Song Title should be enclosed in single quotes. 'West End Girls', 'Violence'
Album/Collection/Video Title should be italicized. Please, the single for West End Girls, Performance.
Version or Remix should be enclosed in parentheses West End Girls (Extended Mix)

Capitalization[]

We use the Wikipedia standard to capitalize, including:

  • The first word and last word in the title.
  • All other words except for:
    • Coordinating conjunctions – and, but, or, nor.
    • Prepositions shorter than five characters – of, to, in, for, on, over, with, than; but Through, About, During, Until
    • Articles – an, a, the.
    • The word to in infinitives.

Note that short verbs (Is, Are, Be, Do) and pronouns (Me, It, His) are capitalized.

Linking[]

When linking within in article, follow these basic rules.

Type Rule Examples
Song Title don't include quotes in the link. 'West End Girls', 'Violence'
Album/Collection/Video Title Italicize and link Please, the single for West End Girls, Performance.
Version or Remix don't include the version in the link. West End Girls (Extended Mix)
People in an article's body, link the first instance of the name.

When the name appears in credits (such as a versions page), link every instance.
