  • When you see code starting with {{ and ending with }}, it indicates a template. Templates contain specific predetermined input fields (we can call this input fields as 'parameters') that need to be filled with values.
    • Parameter names and values are written like this: |parameter name = parameter value.
  • To create a link to other pages on the Utaite Wiki, use [[Otherpagename]], which will result in a link to the page named Otherpagename.
    • Always link to other utaite pages, even if the page doesn't exist yet—it saves time in the future!
  • For external links, use [http://www.websitelinkname.com Displaytext] to create a link like Displaytext.
  • To add a line break, use <br />.
  • For unordered (bullet) lists, place a * at the start of the line.
  • For ordered (numbered) lists, place a # at the start of the line.
  • To create a redirect, use #REDIRECT [[Page title]].
    • For example, 96neko redirects to 96Neko and contains the code #REDIRECT [[96Neko]].

Sources & Citing

  • Creditable sources include official websites, tweets, blog posts, Nicopedia, etc.
  • If you want to place a citation - they appear like so: [1] and link to the References section automatically
    • The markup is <ref>[http://www.websitelinkname.com Displaytext]</ref> where the display text could be something like Mafumafu's Tweet about his favorite food
  • If you have one source that you need to link to in different parts of the page, source them like so
    • <ref name="Name">[http://www.linkofwebsite.com DisplayTitle]</ref> for the first occurence
    • <ref name="Name"/> for any other occurences
    • Notice how Name needs to be the same
  • If you don't know the source, use {{cite}} instead

      • If the song features vocals of several singers use feat. to denote that. Ex.) feat. Soraru and [[Mafumafu]]

      • Add the year in a (YYYY.MM.DD) format. Don't use reprint dates as those are usually incorrect
      • If needed add addiitonal notes such as '''(Deleted)''', '''(Not in Mylist)''', '''(Community & YT only)''', {{example|'''(Private)''' or '''(Unlisted)'''
      • Ex.) # "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=123ytnumber123 Suji Chigai]" {{nnd|sm234567}} (Misguidance) (Parody of [[Suki Kirai]]) -Arrange ver.- feat. Kogeinu, [[Faneru]] and [[ASK]] (guest appearance) (2011.05.08)
  • You may add subsections for e.g. Soundcloud covers
    • Use {{Playlist|notice = sitename|content = for those. Replace sitename with koebu, voiceblog or soundcloud

Commercially Featured

  • This section is optional, and belongs right before the Albums section, but if the singer has sung openings, endings, insert songs, etc. for commercial products such as anime series, movies, or games include them here

    }}

      • These shops are all lowercase. Ex.) {{l|amazon|123456|-Limited ver.-}} looks like so Amazon (-Limited ver  intl.
    • Shops not listed here need to be provided with the full URL and proper capitalization. Ex.) {{l|Shopname|http://www.othershopname.com|-Limited ver.-}}
      • Shops that don't ship internationally, should be marked with a JP. If not provided, the link would be falsely put into the internationally shipping section
    • When providing links of albums by non Japanese singers, it might occur, that iTunes and Amazon links don't work, because these link to the Japanese version of the websites
      • For these, proper capitalization of Amazon and itunes will work. Ex.) {{l|Amazon|www.amazon.com/dp/123456}}, {{l|iTunes|https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/id123456}}

    • <tabber>
      XXX ver. =
      {{Album
      ...
      }}
      |-|
      XXX ver.-
      {{Album
      ...
      }}
      </tabber>

"Sorry! This section is currently under construction."
The information for this section hasn't been added yet. Please help Utaite Wiki by adding information!


the old tutorial is archived DEEP on Ark's profile

Group Pages and Duet Units

  • You can create YT and NND group pages, as well as duet units with the Groups layout to be preloaded in the siderail (Siderail > Templates > (choose from this list) > select Groups > press enter)
  • Be sure to create Group pages as category pages, so name them Category:Groupname. That way we can add the members to the category directly
  • Duet units shall not be created as category pages, so name them Unitname
Templategroup
  • Below I'll be explaining the parts of the layout that may need explaining
    • [[File:imagefilename.png|center|600px]]
      • Put the group banner or a decent group picture of the group here. If the image features the members, explain who is who below it
    • {{Category|NND Groups}}/{{Category|YT Groups}}
      • Select either NND Groups or YT Groups and remove the other
  • For the Links section see External Links in the Singers section
  • For the List of Songs section see Playlist in the Singers section

YouTube Battle Pages

Templatebattle
  • This page layout is very staight forward. Below I'll be going over the parts of the layout that may need explanation
    • * [http://www.youtube.com/user/username Groupname] ([[Member1]], [[Member2]], [[Member3]] and [[Member4]])
      or
      * [https://www.youtube.com/channel/channelname Groupname] ([[Member1]], [[Member2]], [[Member3]] and [[Member4]])
      • Choose http://www.youtube.com/user/username or https://www.youtube.com/channel/channelname depending on whether the group's YT channel has or doesn't have a user name
      • If the group doesn't have a channel, you can put the group name in plain text, without linking to any channel
      • If the group doesn't have a channel, but all entries are uploaded by a single person, and compiled into a playlist by the same person, that playlist may, but doesn't have to, be linked to the group name
      • Usually group names won't be in Japanese, if there are though, be sure to put it like so
        * [http://www.youtube.com/user/username Groupnameromaji] (Groupnamekanji)
      • If the group contains non-singing members, don't link to them, as they'll never have a page on Utaite wiki
  • For the Gallery section, add high resolution group images, if you can find them. Don't add individual singer's images here
    • If you can't find officially published images by the illustrator, try screenshotting the group picture from the music video in high quality (at least 720p)

Reprinting Videos

  • A good example of a reprint is this reprint
  • Don't link to album exclusive covers. Reprints of those infringes the singer's intellectual property
  • If the singer forbid the reprinting of their videos, don't add any YouTube links, unless it's the singer's own upload on their account on YouTube. A list of utaite who forbid reprints, can be found here
  • If the singer has uploaded their cover on their own YT account use this instead.
  • The reprint needs to contain a link to the original post on NND
  • The title and description of the reprint should match as closely to that of the original post
  • Choose a video of decent quality
  • Do not link to a video that is English subbed
    • We are not promoting the translations as we are not a translating site and because they may be incorrect
  • Do not link to unofficial videos. For example there are people that mix an utaite's cover with another utaite's (gasshou)
