UPDATE:
With the MediaWiki being updated, one can now place {{DISPLAYTITLE:the capitalization that should be displayed}} at the top of the page to display whatever correctly capitalized page title is necessary. EX: t.A.T.u..

[edit] Capitalisation

question about capitalization: how should we capitalize artists from foreign countries? --Oinopion 01:46, 10 August 2006 (PDT)

I think we should follow the rules of each language. This goes for the spelling and punctuation as well. In fact, as far as I know (from [1]), there are only a few languages where All The Words In The Title Should Be Capitalized. Punctuation has special features in different languages, too: e.g., in French, one should put a space before a colon (:) or a semicolon (;), if there should be any performer names like that, of course.

[edit] Google Search

Using the Google search doesn't provide a link to create an article. KnightOwl 16:22, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

Nope it doesn't the best way to add an artist now is by going to http://lyricwiki.org/Artists_Name Bindasj 13:11, 4 November 2007 (GMT)
And by that he means that one should type in the artist's name into the address manually, such as http://lyricwiki.org/They_Might_Be_Giants. (I removed the link, so that someone doesn't actually go to http://lyricwiki.org/Artists_Name to create a page.)    Kiefer    talk    contribs    admin   15:43, 5 November 2007 (EST)

[edit] ogHr

What about an artist named ogHr? Obviously, capitalize the beginning letter, but what about the H in the middle? OgHr or Oghr? I guess you'd also use a Wrong Title template too...

It would be OgHr. Capitalize the first letter if it isn't already capitalized, and everything else stays the same. Such as T.A.T.u., for t.A.T.u.    Kiefer    talk    contribs    admin   15:27, 28 March 2008 (EDT)
