ATRL Moderator Unoriginal Posted May 11, 2019 ATRL Moderator Share Posted May 11, 2019 Noticed a few complaints about thread title etiquette so I wanted to make a definitive note of how to format thread titles for future reference: Artist name always goes first Album thread titles are surrounded by 'inverted commas'. It is NOT necessary to add "(EP)" to the thread title example Madonna - 'Madame X' Single thread titles are in "speech marks" example Madonna - "I Rise" Featured artists are added with an f/ before the track name example Madonna f/ Swae Lee - "Crave" Double credits are added with the & symbol before a single title example Madonna & Maluma - "Medellín" Music video threads do not have punctuation example Madonna & Maluma - Medellín Please make sure you also prefix your thread correctly! All the information regarding this is found in the Music Rules popup at the top of the page Link to post Share on other sites
ATRL Moderator Unoriginal Posted May 11, 2019 Author ATRL Moderator Share Posted May 11, 2019 Hmm there seems to be disagreement over whether featured artists should be before or after the track title. Does anyone have opinions on this? Madonna - "Crave" f/ Swae Lee or Madonna f/ Swae Lee - "Crave" Link to post Share on other sites

Blue Rose Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Can we change the album thread to this: Madonna | Madame X Link to post Share on other sites
ATRL Moderator eaucitronnée Posted May 11, 2019 ATRL Moderator Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) can we use commas for double/multiple lead credits? like 'Madonna, Maluma' to save thread title space (especially in the little marquee at the top of the forum)?
