Below are some popular song stickers that are used for tagging and how to put them on a song page. The tags added to song pages are used by the shows feature to build requestable sets of songs.
Before using a tag, please go to the tag page and see if there is a definition. The community may have decided on a certain way to use the tag.
To tag a song do the following:
- Go to the song page.
- Get in edit mode.
- In the "Tags" section, type the appropriate tags as shown below.
- Click Show preview.
- Make sure all tags look correct (no red links). If anything looks incorrect the tag may not exist or there may be a typo.
- Click Save page.
To remove a tag:
- Remove the curly brackets and what is between them to remove a tag.
To change a tag:
- Change the text after the pipe (|).
NOTE: Many tags are subjective descriptions of the tunes. Tags are designed to allow listeners to build shows of tunes with similar characteristics. So, unless a tag is very out of whack leave it alone. That said, there are also quite a few mistagged tunes. Change these when you find them. The most obvious are vocal songs that are marked "instrumental" and vice versa.
Special "Freeform" tags: If you want to make a special tag/search term for a song but it doesn't make sense to make a whole new tag for it, you can use "freeform" words/phrases. Do this by leaving the first argument blank and putting a freeform word/phrase as the second argument. For example,
{{Tag||freeform}} or {{Tag||any phrase here}}
What if something looks wrong? If something seems off and you are not comfortable correcting it, please mark the page with {{Needs Fixin}}.
