It's still a pretty small minority of the whole, but we do have dozens of song pages now. There are some things about them I'm not sure how to handle, so I thought I'd bring them up.

1) What year? A page like Side:LOVE Machine covers many different versions of the song. Should it just be categorized with "1999 Songs", or a year category for each major version? I would lean to the latter. A few songs would end up in a crazy amount of them, but not many.

2) Link to when? When should song pages be linked to versus single/album pages? Since song pages didn't used to be a thing, any songs listed in concert pages or staff member pages would link to the single or album of origin. Album pages link songs to the single where the song came from. If a song is covered, the song name links back to the single or album of the original version. Should any/all of these link to song pages instead, where applicable? How about the redirects for multi-A-side songs that currently take one to the single page, like Dosukoi! Kenkyo ni Daitan?

3) Duplicate information? As is, things like song credits and concert performances can end up in both places. Should this be? From a user viewpoint I think that might be simplest for finding information, but it is double hassle from an editing standpoint--an addition to one page turns into an addition on two, unless one is forgotten about and they stop matching.

4) Single-song singles? This is a more specific case. For singles that are just one song anyway (like ℃-ute or S/mileage indie releases), would it be excessive to have both a single page and a song page, or would having only those missing from song pages be conspicuous? In some cases these songs have covers/remixes/whatever so a song page would have more to cover, but not always.
