Line 153:

====Album titles and band names====

''Convention:'' In titles of songs or albums, unless it is unique, the standard rule in the English language is to capitalize words that are the first word in the title and those that are not [[Grammatical conjunction|conjunction]]s ([[List of English conjunctions|''and, but, or, nor, for'']]), [[preposition]]s ([[List of English prepositions|''to, over, through'']]) or [[Article (grammar)|article]]s (''an, a, the, thathat<!--, any, some, one, that, these, those-->''). When necessary, disambiguation should be done using (band), (album), or (song) (such as [[Iron Maiden (band)]] or [[Insomniac (album)]]); use further disambiguation only when needed (for example [[X (U.S. band)]], [[X (Australian band)]]). Unless multiple albums of the same name exist (such as [[Down to Earth]]), they do not need to be disambiguated any further. For example, [[Down to Earth (Ozzy Osbourne album)]] is fine, but [[Insomniac (Green Day album)]] is unnecessary. When a track is not strictly a [[song]] (in other words a composition without lyrics, or an instrumental that is not a cover of a song), disambiguation should be done using (composition) or (instrumental).
