The purpose of this page is to give editors useful tools to find out what songs are missing from LyricWiki and to help fill them in.

[edit] Some things to remember

• The red links might not mean we don't have the song, they might just mean that we need a redirect.
• Filling in these gaps is important to keeping us as a cutting-edge source for lyrics to everything. Your help on these lists is greatly appreciated (your help everywhere on the site is greatly appreciated, but still).
• TODO: ADD MORE HERE WHEN WE HAVE BETTER TOOLS (like Fuzy's GreaseMonkey script) FOR FINDING LYRICS

[edit] LyricWiki:Top 100

These are the Top 100 songs on iTunes. Their naming conventions differ from our conventions slightly, so lots of times we just need redirects.

[edit] Special:Soapfailures

These are the songs which are requested through our API most frequently but are not found. Many of them are radio-stations or other junk that we don't have, some of them are just oddly capitalized or misnamed and need redirects, but many of them are songs that we don't have yet. This list is completely purged once per week (midnight Sunday-night/Monday-morning).

[edit] FIQL

FIQL.com is a popular playlist sharing site which tries to find links to LyricWiki for each of the songs on its playlists. Since the playlists on their main-page get the most traffic, it's generally a good idea to go through those lists and make sure we have pages for each of them. On each playlist, if we don't have the song (or if they couldn't find it last time they checked using our API), then there will not be a little LyricWiki icon in the "lyrics" column.

[edit] Helpful GreaseMonkey script

If you use GreaseMonkey, a pair of scripts can help make it easier to fill in tracks that FIQL couldn't find.

• jQuery user script - this just makes it so the other userscript can use jQuery. It needs to be BEFORE the other script (higher up on the list) to make sure GreaseMonkey loads it first. If you use GreaseMonkey, you should just be able to click the link to this file to have it install. Install this script before installing the other script.
• FIQL-LyricWiki user script - will display a table at the top of the page (where the playlist description would usually be) which contains links to where the LyricWiki page should be for the given song (except that the page-names may be poorly formatted).

[edit] MusicBrainz

TODO: Make a bot to crawl MusicBrainz and find what we're missing?
