 There is a headline above every featured article and song on the [[Main Page]]. For songs, it reads ''Featured Song: <u>"SONG NAME"</u>'', and the song name is sometimes a playable MP3. This needs to be changed if you are changing the featured song.
-Click "Edit" on the [[Weezerpedia:Featured song|Featured Song]] page. Look at the third line of the article. If it is an MP3 headline, it should look like this:
+Click "Edit" on the [[Weezerpedia:Featured song|Featured Song]] page. Look at the second line of the article. If it is an MP3 headline, it should look like this:
-<pre>text-align:left; color:#000; padding:0.2em 0.4em;">Featured song: ''[http://play.last.fm/preview/OLD#########.mp3 "OLD SONG NAME"]''</h2><br></pre>
+<pre>{{Featured song MP3 headline|OLD MP3 LINK|OLD SONG NAME|OLD MP3 SOURCE}}</pre>
 *If the song you are featuring has an MP3 link on Weezerpedia, follow the steps below.
 **Go to [[Weezerpedia:List of MP3 links]]
-**Click edit, find the song's MP3 link, and copy everything within the brackets, including the brackets.
+**Click edit, find your new song's MP3 link, and copy '''''only''''' the link from within the brackets. Make sure '''''not''''' to include the brackets.
-**Replace the current text (everything you see within the code ''<nowiki>''<u>TEXT TEXT TEXT''</u></h2><br></nowiki>'') with your new copied MP3 url link.
+**Replace the current text between the first group of dividers (the little straight line thingys like this |) with your new MP3 link.
+**Put in your new song's name between the second group of dividers.
+**Put in the source of your new song's MP3 link between the third group of dividers. Oftentimes this source will be ''www.LastFM.com'''
+Using "[[Say It Ain't So]]" as an example, the second line will look like this:
+<pre>{{Featured song MP3 headline|http://play.last.fm/preview/118417348.mp3|Say It Ain't So|www.LastFM.com}}</pre>
+...which gives you:
+{{Featured song MP3 headline|http://play.last.fm/preview/118417348.mp3|Say It Ain't So|www.LastFM.com}}
-The third line will then look like this:
-<pre>text-align:left; color:#000; padding:0.2em 0.4em;">Featured song: ''[http://play.last.fm/preview/NEW#########.mp3 "NEW SONG NAME"]''</h2><br></pre>
 *If it is not an MP3 headline, it should look like this:
-<pre>text-align:left; color:#000; padding:0.2em 0.4em;">Featured song: ''<u>"OLD SONG NAME"''</u></h2><br></pre>
+<pre>{{Featured song headline|OLD SONG NAME}}</pre>
 Delete the old song title and put your new one in its place.
-The third line of the article will then look like this:
+Using "Say It Ain't So" as an example again, the second line will look like this:
+<pre>{{Featured song headline|Say It Ain't So}}</pre>
+...which gives you:
-<pre>text-align:left; color:#000; padding:0.2em 0.4em;">Featured song: ''<u>"NEW SONG NAME"''</u></h2><br></pre>
+{{Featured song headline|Say It Ain't So}}
