Category Changes or structural wiki changes

Dear Rubyng2004,

Thank you again for all of your contributions to the wiki. Your additions have been very helpful in helping the wiki grow.

I wanted to ask you to perhaps reach out to me to discuss category and other structural changes so that we are not creating inconsistencies in the wiki. For instance, I had the percussion ensembles capped at 12 and anything that was larger, just fit under 12+. I have seen that you added it up to 20+ now. I don't think that is a problem, but it is inconsistent with how the wiki has been setup and therefore work is being repeated and deleted and ultimately wasting each others time.

If you have any ideas about categories and how it might best fit in the wiki, please feel free to contact me at tfreeze@emporia.edu to discuss any of these changes.

Thank you again and I appreciate your contributions!

Best wishes to you! Tracy

Please, Percussion 12 means 12 people, not 12 or more

---Again I appreciate you working on the wiki, but there are many structural items that I have to go back and fix. Please feel free to add to the content, but any further structural changes I would be open to discussing - I have reached out to you many times and am glad that you are using the talk page to communicate now. Hopefully you can also help answer some of the other questions that I have proposed on here. Particularly about how this wiki is being used with the Royal Schools of Music?

The 12 or more structure is important to those who are looking for ensembles greater than 12, but not pedantic enough to see 13-20. I am keeping your suggestion of having 13-20 then adding the +, but please leave the 12+ category alone as that is a search structure that I find useful. The beauty of the wiki is that it can have both...

Thank you for understanding!

Helpful Pages to create category links

Dear Rubyng2004 - Thank you for working on and using the wiki. I wanted to share a couple of things that might make some of your page creations easier. To make a composers page you can use this to start the template:

{{subst:composers}}

To create a page for a composition you can use

{{subst:works}}

For reference in linking your pages to categories, I have created a couple of templates that you can use as a guide open a new tab and search for Common Categories and another one called Common Works Categories. These can be very helpful in cutting and pasting at the bottom of the pages.

Hopefully this is helpful. :-)
