Hello all! May I joibn the project? I've been editing a bunch of lesser-known song pages (Kaze to Isso ni, Mamoru beki mono, yume miru lovely boy, etc..) so I thought I might as well try to join this project. Is that okay? I can find the kanji and english translations for a lot of songs, as well as some stuff like composers and whatnot. --[[User:Snowrunt|<span style="color:#FF9900">Snowrunt</span>]] [[User talk:Snowrunt|<span style="color:#FFD700">♥</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Snowrunt|<span style="color:#FF9999">♥</span>]] 18:40, 25 May 2009 (UTC) | Hello all!

It'd be a fairly massive undertaking but I think it'd make for a great improvement, without the legal risk that comes with hosting or linking the music itself on the wiki. —[[User:AndyPKMN|Andy<sup>P</sup><sub>K</sub><sup>M</sup><sub>N</sub>]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 02:03, 25 December 2014 (UTC) | It'd be a fairly massive undertaking but I think it'd make for a great improvement, without the legal risk that comes with hosting or linking the music itself on the wiki. —[[User:AndyPKMN|Andy<sup>P</sup><sub>K</sub><sup>M</sup><sub>N</sub>]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 02:03, 25 December 2014 (UTC) | ||
: Chipping in here, I think this would be a great idea. Thorough documentation on where in the video games particular soundtracks are used is hard to come by, and there's no reason Bulbapedia can't do this. I could start by adding it for Mystery Dungeon-related pages. [[User:Qzekrom|Qzekrom]] ([[User talk:Qzekrom|talk]]) 06:07, 26 October 2019 (UTC) | |||
::I've actually always been disappointed that various infoboxes don't include the music that plays, such as the various expandable VS Trainer infoboxes and the General area infoboxes, and I see it as such a let down that this wasn't thought of to be included in the first place. Not only does it, in my opinion, totally belong in the jurisdiction of Project Music (despite me personally not being a part of it), but it would also make it clearer about certain trivia points, like how Sendoff Spring uses the Sinnoh Route 210 music or that the Double Battle with Rival Silver against Lance and Clair in the Dragon's Den uses the normal Johto Trainer battle music (not that I'm sure they could have used other music, despite Lance being Champion and Clair being a Gym Leader, since neither of them were acting in their capacity as those positions at the time, even though they use their titles in the battle). Additionally, I think it would also make more people interested in the ongoings of the music in the games themselves if it were more clearly displayed like any other general and important information about areas and battles in the games. And... although I am aware that doing this would require editing basically <i>every</i> area page, in addition to changing a handful of templates, to me, it seems like it would be a worthwhile endeavour. Music is an integral part of video games, so like, the pages about places with music (unfortunately, nearly all of them) should probably have it listed somewhere!

== Formatting of Musical Composition Titles and Song Titles == | |||
''(As a preface, I am largely [http://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=SmashWiki_talk:Manual_of_Style&diff=771698&oldid=771678 quoting myself from SmashWiki], although the question is pertinent on Bulbapedia as well.)'' | |||
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, I am not sure what Bulbapedia should use overall.. Additionally, my question was more in regards to the titles of songs from the [[core series]] ''Pokémon'' videogames (as featured on the numerous '''"Super Music Collection"''' releases), although I am not sure if anime vocal songs and background-instrumental songs would have different title-formatting conventions, if any. Thanks in advance for the help! [[User:Fenyx4|Fenyx4]] ([[User talk:Fenyx4|talk]]) 21:40, 21 January 2016 (UTC) | |||
:Per [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style#Formatting preferences]], albums are italicized and songs are not put in italics or quotes. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 21:51, 21 January 2016 (UTC) | |||
::Ah, okay; thank you very much for the response. I guess I will attempt to de-italicize any videogame song titles that I come across, then. While I suppose that the links for particular terms within articles ''might'' be enough to help in clarification/disambiguation, I feel that not giving some sort of formatting emphasis to videogame song titles could be somewhat confusing, since many of the song titles share their names with Pokémon Trainers (like [[May]] of ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]'') and with locations (such as buildings like the [[Battle Maison]], or with areas such as [[Routes]]).

== Titles in CD infoboxes == | |||
Which language should be given the priority in the absence of an official English title? I spotted a few inconsistencies (not full list): | |||
*Subtitle is in JPN: | |||
**[[High Touch! / Surely Tomorrow]] | |||
**[[Let's Dance with Pokémon with J☆Dee'Z]] | |||
**[[DreamDream (single)]] | |||
*Subtitle is in ENG: | |||
**[[Roaring All-Stars / Life Only Comes Once]] | |||
**[[Mad-Paced Getter (single)]] | |||
Looking around in other articles, it seems that the majority follow the ENG main title and JPN sub-title format, but I wanted to make sure before I standardise them by swapping the titles around. --[[User:Chenzw|Chenzw]] ([[User talk:Chenzw|talk]]) 14:29, 3 April 2016 (UTC) | |||
==Proper crediting== | |||
Hello, new here. I would like to use the english lyrics from the Acacia page as translation for a cover i'm making, but i'm unsure who I should credit for them? Bulbapedia, Project Music, or an individual person? In general, it might be good to proplerly state it somewhere. | |||
