NOTE: THIS PAGE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

Creating and editing songs is fairly straightforward but requires you to use a little bit of code. It's not difficult!

Coding is too complicated

I feel you. Send me an email at daniel.centore@gmail.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. Consolas) so the chords and lyrics are certain to line up the same when I view them.

Creating a Page

Start by searching for the name of the song with the search bar. Make sure the 1st letter is capitalized and all subsequent letters lowercase (except proper nouns).

Examples:

• При ватрі
• Ой ти, Галю
• Біла хата в саду
• Писаний Камінь

If multiple titles are in common use, use the one that is NOT the first line of the song (e.g. use "При ватрі", not "Сіріли у сумерку").

After searching, click the text that says Create the page "Назва пісня" on this wiki! This will open an editor.

Sample

TODO: Replace with a song including indentation and a приспів

We recommend copying the following example as your starting point. You can see the results of this code at При ватрі. It might not match up exactly if that page has been edited since this article was written.

Analysis

Let's go through this piece by piece.

Credits

Everything in-between the two "credits" tags is rendered in italics.

Lyrics

Everything in-between the two "spiv" tags is interpreted as lyrics. Lines should be preceded with one of these characters to indicate what type of line it is:

• ; Chord line
• : Lyric line
• ;; Indented chord line
• :: Indented lyric line

If a line is not preceded with any of these characters, we assume it is a lyric line. Never do this if the preceding line is a chord because then we can't line up the chords properly.

Extra Info

Make new sections on this pattern:

== Історія ==
Some stuff happened.

Renditions

At the very end, include a list of renditions of the song. Earlier songs should be higher quality with lyrics more similar to those of the співаник, while later ones should be lower quality. Try to find at least one rendition. If you cannot find any, make sure to tick the "Needs music" category before saving.

Categories

Before saving you will find a number of categories. Tick those that are applicable. Make sure to:

• Always select Пісні, unless it's a Таборовий пісень
• You will often select Основні пісні. See the description on that page for guidelines.
• 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).

Making a Redirect

If there is another *popular* title for a song, create a page for it and make the content of that page:

#REDIRECT [[Назва пісня]]

Replace "Назва пісня" with the name of the original song page. Keep the square brackets.
