Anonymous composers and lyricists conflict
| Help | |
|
We have the unpleasant situation that "Anonymous" is being used both for composers/music sources and for lyricists/text sources. Both the invocations Composer and Lyricist (when used with "Anonymous" as the parameter) link to Anonymous. To me this seems unacceptable or (at best) confusing. One remedy might be use Lyricist only with something like "Anonymous lyricist" instead of "Anonymous". The resulting categorization of such pages would then be in Anonymous lyricist settings. Another possibility is to change the Lyricist itself - probably trapping special case when the first parameter is "Anonymous" and "anonymous" and not providing a link to Anonymous in these cases. Of the two, I think the first remedy is a bit better. Note: I've taken the liberty of going the route of the first remedy, so I have replaced "Anonymous" and "anonymous" (when used as the lyricist parameter to {{Lyricist}}) with "Anonymous lyricist". Also, I've put approriate header info on the Anonymous lyricist page (DPL listing) and on the category Anonymous lyricist settings. | |
