Re: Each composer a lyricist?

You are correct, LyricistSettingsList should not appear on new composer pages, and I have removed it. Sorry for the delay.

Re: How to present the Genre information

Thank you, Chuck. I stand corrected.

About capitalization, I agree with you, and I will make the corrections as you ask. This is standard practice in MediaWiki. Does "General Information" also need correction?

Re: How to present the Genre information

1. I went through all the works with Genre|Other. All of them were converted to other values for Genre; there were several that appeared to need new values. I propose we add these two as Genres: Textless – For works originally without words, and Genre cannot be otherwise determined by the context (a...

Re: How to present the Genre information

I just went through 27 work pages with Genre|Unknown – it is as I suspected. There aren't any really "unknown" ones, not any more at least.

Re: How to present the Genre information

Yes. {{cat|}} could be added to the Description, or even to a Pub template, if there is an appropriate one.

Re: How to present the Genre information

Thanks for the comments, Richard! 1 – I agree with "user's point of view". "Polyphonic Lied" should be "Polyphonic Lieder" (plural); this subgenre was there last year, but I cannot find it now. I should have omitted it in this year's list. 2 – I see your point about &qu...

Re: How to present the Genre information

Please see introduction to ChoralWiki:Subgenres , with counts at ChoralWiki:Subgenres/Counts . 1 . Subgenres are still confused and confusing, but it appears the problem will continue to persist. It could be resolved if we could all agree on a classification (as implied in Carlos' first post above),...

Re: Damaged pages, the second

I have finished going through the list Claude sent (thanks, Claude!). I found some more pages by searching; in total I examined 85 pages, 29 work pages and 56 publication pages. I made major corrections to 42 of the 85. I think I found most of the errors; if you find more, please contact me.

Re: Damaged pages, the second

I'm afraid I was the one responsible for most of the changes to the Descr template in March. Between March 14 and March 22, I replaced '''Description:''' with {{Descr}} in about 40,000 pages. It was relatively easy at first, since the template is empty most of the time. After a while, it got complic...

Re: wrong voicing

There is another forum topic about Multi-Category Search. Currently MCS doesn't work correctly for some uses, which is tied to recent revisions of MediaWiki. I will work on this when I get time.

Re: wrong voicing

I just ran Multi-Category Search, with only SSSATB and limit=1000 set – 21 results. Category:SSSATB has the same 21 works; every one of them has an SSSATB edition. Not sure why yours isn't working: Maybe you had another item checked, like 6-part choral music? (To expand the tree in MCS, one needs to...

Re: Vertical alignment columns of text

Templates {{Top}} and {{Middle}} have been changed. I also changed {{Translation}} because the flag was within the <big> tags, making its column taller.

Vertical alignment columns of text

There have been several comments on talk pages and in emails about vertical misalignment of columns of text, when using templates Text or Translation. You can see examples on any page that uses these templates in multiple columns, using the templates Top, Middle, and Bottom. (The templates Mdl and B...
