B'z Wiki:Editing Guidelines

Linking and formatting of titles

Singles are to be mentioned like a normal title. As in, there is no difference between "Freedom Train" and "Ai no Bakudan" as far as formatting goes. However, "Freedom Train" is of course redirected to MAGIC since it is an album song, while "Ai no Bakudan" will primarily go to its page as a single apart from special instances.

Album titles are to be italicized in all instances, such as with RUN. In some cases, it may be both bolded and italicized depending on the context.

Specific video release titles are to be italicized as well, like with B'z LIVE-GYM Hidden Pleasure ~Typhoon No.20~.

LIVE-GYM and SHOWCASE titles are to be left as-is, such as with B'z LIVE-GYM '93 "RUN".

Track listings & linking to lyrics pages

The only instances in which an article will link to a song's lyrics page instead of its usual destination is in a track listing for an album, single, etc. For example, let us take a look at the related section from the page for "Sayonara Kizu Darake no Hibi yo":

1. Sayonara Kizu Darake no Hibi yo — Goodbye, Painful Days, さよなら傷だらけの日々よ

   With Pepsi's new ad slogan "GO NEXT!" in mind, the track is about leaving an old life behind to begin a new one. It also marked the very first occasion in which B'z wrote a song specifically for a commercial.

2. Dawn Runner

   Originally entitled "The Runner", the song is an outtake from the ACTION sessions. Tak decided to rename the song after looking over the cover for the single itself. "Dawn Runner" was chosen for inclusion here by the band in order to create a well-balanced single.

You will notice that, instead of linking to the page for the single, the song titles link to their respective lyrics pages. This practice should be applied throughout the wiki with concern to track listings.
