I feel you. Send me an email at contact@wikispiv.com including everything you've got (lyrics, chords, credits, links to renditions) and I'll add the song at my convenience and discretion. If you are typing the chords, use a monospace font, where every character is the same width (e.g. Courier, Consolas) so the chords and lyrics are certain to line up the same when I view them. It will look typewritery. If you just have pictures or scans, that's fine too.
 
Typed copies are strongly preferred. If you just have pictures or scans, that's fine too, but it will be lower priority given the added work required for us to type it.

If multiple titles are in common use, you should generally use these guidelines:
If multiple titles are in common use, you should generally use the one that is NOT the first line of the song (e.g. use "При ватрі", not "Сіріли у сумерку"). We will make redirects for alternate names later.
* Prefer titles which are NOT from the first line of the song (e.g. prefer "При ватрі" to "Сіріли у сумерку")
* Prefer titles which are not the purpose of the song (e.g. prefer "Чи знаєш ти" to "Курінна пісня Тих Що Греблі Рвуть", and prefer "Ми діти українські" to "Новацька пісня")
* Prefer titles which come from the chorus of the song to those from the body (e.g. prefer "Мамо" to "Спалена пісня")
 
These are guidelines, not hard rules, and you should exercise your best judgement here - if a song title which "violates" these rules is vastly more recognizable, feel free to use it.
 
We will make redirects for alternate names later.


Try to make the song name unambiguous. "Іванку" isn't a great name because that could be a few songs. "[[Іванку, Іванку, з того боку ярку]]" is better. Disambiguators can also be used in the title (e.g. "[[Мамо (Майданек)]]" is much less ambiguous than "Мамо").

At the very end, include a list of renditions of the song. Songs higher in the list should be better quality with lyrics more similar to those of the співаник, while lower ones should be of poorer quality with lyrics diverging from those of the spivanyk. Really try to find at least one rendition. If you cannot find any, make sure to tick the "Needs audio" category before saving.

* Every song should be in one of these categories: [[:Category:Пісні|Українські Пісні]], [[:Category:Беларускія|Беларускія Пісні]], [[:Category:Not Slavic|Not Slavic]]
* Always select [[:Category:Пісні|Пісні]], unless it's a Таборовий пісень
* Add the song to any other categories which match
* You will almost always select one of these (no more, no less, unless it ''really'' belongs in multiple):
** [[:Category:Основні пісні|Основні пісні]]
** [[:Category:Дитячі пісні|Дитячі пісні]]
** [[:Category:Зимові пісні|Зимові пісні]]
** [[:Category:Релігійні пісні|Релігійні пісні]]
* See [[Категорії]] for the rough relationships of categories. These are a guideline, not a rule. Most categories have a description of what should be included if unsure.
* Select any "Needs" categories applicable (e.g. Needs chords).
