These are some tags (templates) that you can use to mark a song, artist, or album as having a problem.

More information on tagging songs can be found here. Tags page lists tags used for music.

{{Duplicate}}

Use on any pages

Use this when there is more than one copy of a song. Note that this only applies to exact copies. Do not include alternate versions, such as a live version.

It is also useful to mark duplicate artist and album pages. This is most common with misspelled artist names.

{{Obscure}}

Use on artist pages

Use this when an artist is not found on the web. Please check not only google but also myspace. If the artist can't be found on the web, their music will be removed in favor of the thousands of working musicians who choose to maintain a web presence.

{{Messed Up}}

Use on song pages

Use this for songs that have a recording problem.

{{Typo}}

Use on any pages

Use this to mark a typo (misspelling).

Optional: {{Typo | correct spelling}}

{{Silence at end}}

Use on song pages

Use this to mark a song that has excessive silence at the end.

{{Silence in middle}}

Use on song pages

Use this to mark a song that has silence in the middle. i.e. two songs (usually happens with hidden tracks).

{{Overplayed}}

Use on song pages

Use this to mark a song that you feel is overplayed.

{{Truncated}}

Use on any pages

Use this to mark a truncated song name.

Optional: {{Truncated | correct name}}

{{Needs Fixin}}

Use on any pages

Use this to mark a song, album, or artist page that has something wrong with it and needs to be fixed. This should only be used when a more specific tag doesn't apply.

Optional: {{Needs Fixin | note}}

{{CDBaby}}

Use on album pages

Use this to mark CDBaby links that refer to the wrong album.

{{Delete}}

Use on any pages

Use this to mark a page for deletion. This should only be used on pages that are no longer needed for any reason. It may be useful for tag categories that aren't in use.
