Composer page organization

Hi William, and welcome to CPDL!

Claude forwarded me you email query (if you look at his discussion page User:Claude T you'll notice there are some kibutzers there as well, so that's another way to get answers). There are several way you could go about organizing your work lists, and #SortWorks is only one tool. For a clickable link just use double brackets [[Answer me when I call (William Ellison)|Psalm 4: Answer me when I call]] produces Psalm 4: Answer me when I call. {{NoCo|Answer me when I call}} will also work, and that template is described at Template:NoCo. You could also make a sortable list: see how Johannes Ockeghem is coded, and then compare Tomás Luis de Victoria, where each work is labeled with a subgenre so it fits a specific slot on the composer page. A disadvantage of the second is that changes or tweeks to the workpage can have unforeseen effects on other pages that rely on Template:Genre! Richard Mix (talk) 07:35, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Richard, I hope I'm in the correct area and reading the correct information. I'm a noob on this site and I'm not sure what to do or what I can do.

I would like to organize my existing compositions into two sections, Psalms in three columns (as is) and a section for Additional Compositions under the columns. If possible, I would also like to re-setup my existing compositions into clickable linked entries (as in your example). I'm not sure where I start. I feel confident that if you can get me started, I will be able to do the project on my own (with questions asked as needed). I note you have given me the answer "[[Answer me when I call (William Ellison)|Psalm 4: Answer me when I call]] " but I don't know where I place that coding. I'm also assuming that I don't need the <nowiki> on the pages, correct?

Thank you Claude and Richard. That was an easy fix to my issue, now could someone re-set the few existing in my "Choral works at CPDL" area to "Anthems"? Those are really Anthems which I didn't really figure out until after I had done a few. If there is some way that I can reset them, I will be most happy to do that.

For each of the remaining exceptions, go to the corresponding work page, on the right of "General Information", click on "Modify". Change the subgenre according to YOUR choice. Claude T (talk) 07:30, 25 December 2022 (UTC)

Thank you Claude. I have made those changes and it looks like they are correct. I appreciate your time -- "Thank you!" Have a Happy Holiday season and I will be working on the next compositions next year!! Bill-- Bill (talk) 19:31, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
