Misc.

• Japanese people's names should be written as "given name, surname", i.e. the Western order.
• Song jackets should always be in png format. Convert it to png if your copy isn't.
  • The only exceptions are Irodorimidori songs, because there likely won't be png jackets at 800x800 or larger.
• Game pages and pages for game mechanics should be in their respective namespaces.
• Since Sega has mostly unified the genre structure across games, the wiki categories for genres would also be unified. Below is how categories for genres should be assigned.
  • In the rare event that a song has different genres in different games (eg. Like the Wind [Reborn]), put the page into all applicable categories.

Category	maimai	CHUNITHM	ONGEKI
Category:Pops & Anime	POPS&アニメ	POPS&ANIME	POPS&ANIME
Category:niconico	niconico&ボーカロイド	niconico	niconico
Category:Touhou Project	東方Project	東方Project	東方Project
Category:Variety	ゲーム&バラエティ	VARIETY	VARIETY
Category:maimai Original Songs	maimai	ゲキマイ	チュウマイ
Category:CHUNITHM Original Songs	オンゲキ&CHUNITHM	ORIGINAL	チュウマイ
Category:ONGEKI Original Songs	オンゲキ&CHUNITHM	ゲキマイ	オンゲキ
Category:Irodorimidori Songs*1	オンゲキ&CHUNITHM	イロドリミドリ	チュウマイ

*1 イロドリミドリ songs have their own genre only in CHUNITHM. They should not be put into Category:CHUNITHM Original Songs.

Page titles

• Page titles should be in ASCII characters only. That means English letters and some symbols.
  • This wiki has $wgCapitalLinks disabled. Do not create pages with capitalized titles if what the page describes have a non-capitalized name. For example, use maimai, not Maimai.
  • Romanize all CJK song titles, and create redirects from the original title. Romanized portions of the title should use sentence case.
    • は, へ should be romanized as wa, e when they're pronounced as such; を should always be romanized as wo.
    • If there's a foreign word transliterated into Japanese/Korean, write the original foreign word, if it can be determined. If you're not sure whether it's a foreign word or native word, write the romanization as-is.
    • For words of non-English origin (eg. テーマ and トルコ), it's recommended to use the words from their original language (Thema, turco) instead of their English equivalents (theme, Turkey). The latter is also acceptable, however.
  • If there are special characters that are meant to represent similar-looking English letters, write those English letters. Don't romanize them from their original language. For example, for "TETЯIS", use "TETRIS" as the page title, not "TETYAIS".

Lyrics

• For licensed songs, especially POPS & Anime songs, the wiki page should only contain lyrics for the in-game short cut, and not the full song.
  • If you cannot understand the language, explicitly state that the lyrics are for the full version.
• For original songs, write the lyrics for the long/extended version in a separate section, if applicable.

English translations

• If the song appears in a video game that has an English localization, use the English translation in that localization, if available.
• Newer Vocaloid songs often have community-contributed subtitles on the official YouTube video. Those should be used when available, and the subtitle authors should be credited.
  • For Vocaloid songs that appear in the Project DIVA series of games, English subtitles in those games should be used, i.e. the first rule takes precedence.
  • Project DIVA translations are often available on wikia:vocaloid, and community translations are often available on wikia:vocaloidlyrics.
• For Touhou songs, look on https://en.touhouwiki.net.

Song Information

• If the artist credit differs between games, use the one that is in more different series, or if this is not applicable, the one that was released first. The other(s) should be put in the Trivia section (e.g. Daydream café).
• Composition - Arrangement - Lyrics - Vocals - Chorus - Guitar - Bass - Keyboards - Drums - Other Instruments, in that order.
• Then: Movie (if any) - Album (if any) - BPM - Length - maimai Genre - CHUNITHM Genre - ONGEKI Genre - ONGEKI Opponent - First Music Game Appearance - Other Music Game Appearances (in order of first appearance).
  • Change November 18th, 2020 - IDs and internal names are no longer placed in the song information section.

Difficulty & Notecounts

• Use the templates (see existing pages for examples).
• When using {{(game name) Difficulty}} templates, use lower case letters for version names, _ for the first game, and + instead of "PLUS".
• Link all chart designers in the tables, except for those indicating that the chart is a collaboration effort. (eg. 合作だよ)

Artist Pages

• Policy for creating artist pages is if both of these apply.
  • They have at least 2 songs in SEGA music games.
  • They have at least 1 ORIGINAL or イロドリミドリ genre song.

Album Pages

• Artist album pages should only be created if there is at least 1 ORIGINAL song on there.

Videos

• Prefer YouTube videos to niconico videos. Prefer line-out videos to camera-recorded videos. For pre-DX maimai, prefer videos with hold notes pressed.
• For pre-DX maimai, always search in this channel first.
• For maimai DX, always search in this channel first.
• For CHUNITHM, always search in this channel first.
• For オンゲキ, always search in this channel first.
• For CHUNITHM and オンゲキ, many players upload lineout videos to YouTube. Lower level EXPERT charts might not be included in the recommended channels above, in which case use those lineout videos, with scores as high as possible.
• For official music videos, do not use reprints. If the original video is only on niconico, use the {{nicovideo}} template with its video ID. Do not use YouTube reprints.
