A Favor?

Would you mind doing me a huuuuge favor the next time you visit the Template:Artist page? Could you update the instructions there a little bit? I figure since you've been tinkering with it that you probably know it the best, so I figured 'Go to the source!' The example given is old and doesn't show the formatting for all the new cool stuff that's been added. Thanks a million!    Kiefer    talk    contribs    admin   00:02, 5 June 2008 (EDT)

Other Songs

KingNee..should Other Songs have album pages? Only I'm seeing a lot of them on the Special:Shortpages list and I'm a little confused by this.  _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 14:47, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

It's a product of Janitor's cleanup job. Someone else felt they were not necessary, and removed the link without deleting the page. Do they belong on the page, or should they deleted? That's up to you.

King_Nee1114 (talk page • contributions • deletions) 15:09, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Sorry but I don't think I explained myself well. What I meant was all the 'Other Songs' headings on the artists pages that I have worked on have not had a link to separately created 'album' pages. All the songs under the heading 'Other Songs' have simply linked directly to the individual song pages, until, of course, allocated to an actual album. However, on the short pages list, I see a lot of album pages which have been created solely for 'Other Songs'. Whilst this seems to me to be wrong, (since 1) Other Songs is not an album and 2) the songs should/could all be allocated which would effectively mean time and resources being wasted creating an album page for 'Other Songs'), it did occur to me that maybe I should in fact be creating album pages for all the 'Other Songs' lists I come across...

Seeing as it's Monday (which means it's Redxx's day to bug KingNee ), another thing I would like to ask, albeit unrelated, is about merging. Is 'merging' simply another word for moving? I ask because I cannot find any information on how to 'merge'.  _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 18:18, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

The 'Other Songs' pages are leftovers from when the site was started, the default now is to not make these pages (and any artist page that does have a link gets unlinked by every script I have written). These pages end up on Special:Lonelypages and get deleted.

Merge is a term that is used, for instance, when we have two pages for one artist and there may be multiple pages for a single song. Merging in this repect means consolidating the several pages into a single one by using redirects and moves as needed.

Thanks for informative response teknomunk. That's answered all my questions :-)  _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 20:12, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

Orphaned Pages

Could you explain two things to me:

• Why do some artists/song pages with accents, etc. in their name appear as "Orphaned pages" when there's nothing actually wrong with their page?
• Why doesn't our Janitor bot allocate all orphaned songs to artists page Other Songs list where these exist (Again I can't see anything wrong with the song pages to which I am referring) What's his problem (lol)?  _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 22:56, 9 June 2008 (EDT)

If I am thinking of what I think you're thinking, then this is related to listings like Micheal Bubl? and Opus D?e, correct? That is another remnant of an old version of LyricWiki. It's very similar to that wonky Black Sabbath page, and luckily it has since been fixed. The long and short is that those are not removable right now. If I am still misunderstanding, then feel free to try again (it is monday, I am a little slow).

On that second point: do you mean there are orphaned pages that are not re-added, or what? If you could supply an example or two, I'd get a better idea

King_Nee1114 (talk page • contributions • deletions) 01:31, 10 June 2008 (EDT)

Examples of pages on 'Orphaned Pages' list - Why are all these deemed 'orphans'?

Artists with accents in their name, etc. :

• Agnetha Fältskog
• An Pierlé

Where artist page and 'Other Songs' section exists but song has not been added by the bot to 'Other Songs' list:

• Aaliyah:Girl_like_you
• Alejandro Sanz:Dame Tu Amor

And this was a song page I dealt with earlier that was on the Orphans list [1] which I'd also like to understand. I mean it's one thing a bot uploading incorrectly named pages, but it's another if we've got users using their own programs to do it, as would seem to be the case here.

 _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 05:27, 14 June 2008 (EDT)

The first half is the same as I mentioned. I must ask, though, do they show up on the orphan page looking normal? On my computer, and all computers I've used, it shows as a question mark replacing the accented characters.

The second half is not so easy. I have no explanation as to why they are not, as they should be. There is a subtle known error with wikimedia databases where the information related to a page can fall behind. If I ever find a page that seems to have done so, I just hit 'edit' and 'save'. 90% of the time it fixes whatever was strange about the page.

Hope that helps!

Also: I fixed the Aaliyah song, and will try to fix the other, we shall see what happens. Peace.

King_Nee1114 (talk page • contributions • deletions) 00:36, 15 June 2008 (EDT)

K, in answer to your question, yes the artists names do appear on the orphan list with question marks (although on the actual artist page the name displays correctly). This raises the further question: why don't all Agnetha's related pages, e.g. song/album also appear on orphan list? Surely if the softwear has a problem with accented characters, these should also appear on the list?

And what are your thoughts on this "...bot uploading incorrectly named pages, but it's another if we've got users using their own programs to do it..."? _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 22:24, 15 June 2008 (EDT)

Agnetha's songs aren't on orphaned pages because in the time that the encoding caused an error, those songs were never orphaned. At some point in LW's history, Agnetha's artist page was orphaned, and when it was fixed, the bug stayed around. I will say that I am very glad that those songs aren't permanently stuck, as that would be one heck of a mess. (btw, softwear? Are we talking about Wikimedia, or Fruit of the Loom? :D )

In the case of that second point: I tracked the bulk of those bad edits to User:Dmurray88 who uses User:Attendant's WikiLyrics program. I have left a message for him, hopefully he will notice that. If not, continue deleting the 'bad pageform' pages, and maybe we will take more drastic steps if it continues. (I would hate to block somebody for just trying to help, but how else might we get his attention if he does not check his talk page?) If you can keep an eye out of other users doing that, we might be able to find out if or not this is a bug related to WikiLyrics and not user error.

King_Nee1114 (talk page • contributions • deletions) 02:42, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

Well the buzz that's going around on the street is that they do sell 'Quality Clothing' at 'Exceptional Value Every Day!' ;)  _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 07:29, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

You are correct there. But I have been thinking...softwear...hardwear...suits of armour?

Anyway, musings aside, the plot thickens with WikiLyrics. It would seem that this is not limited to User:Dmurray88, which makes me think that it might be a bug with this new version. So I left a pleasant message over at Attendant's talk page, hoping he will be able to help. Until then, though, the standing orders are to kill on sight of one of those odd pages.

Wiki-Lyrics control page

Hi again. I've created a control page for the Wiki-Lyrics script with a brief explanation of how to use in its talk page. I should probably have thought of this before, but well... The recurring problems I've been having lately with the script finally made me realize that a proper way to deal with them was in order. Please, protect that page as it should not be edited by non admins, and try to keep it updated as you see fit (probably informing the others admins is a good idea too, but I'll leave that to you). BTW, this will only work for people using WLv0.12.12 or later so I suggest you ask your users to update ASAP. --Attendant 01:38, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

Very good. Thanks for the added measures. I will do my best to keep up to date on that. I will also let the other admin know (if they haven't already read this post). One question: where would be the most reliable place to find you, in case of something? Thanks.

King_Nee1114 (talk page • contributions • deletions) 01:56, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

No problem at all, in any case, sorry for the troubles caused by the script. About where to find me, you can always reach me at my Lyriki talkpage, I'm there almost every day. You can also reach my at my talk page here of course, though I visit this site less frecuently. --Attendant 02:37, 27 June 2008 (EDT)

Hi again. I just wanted to let you know that I have released a new version of Wiki-Lyrics (v0.13.0). I finally found and fix the cause of the improper overwriting of valid pages (hopefully, this will be the end of that). Please, update Wiki-Lyrics control page to reflect the latest version and block version 0.12.12, which still has that bug. --Attendant 02:46, 20 August 2008 (EDT)

re: I was wondering why you were removing the English translations?

Hello there

yes I took the English translations off for Glósóli and Hafsól (btw is not Hafssól as in Von). Because many lines and/or words were wrong on the previous transcripts. I'll be putting on the new revised translations in a few days. Once I've consulted with a couple of friends. Who either speak the language fluently and/are good at translating from Icelandic to English.

Underscores

I see you're working too hard on removing underscores! Something has happened to Special:Allpages, but as soon as Mr. Colombo fixes that, User:BotUm will be back on the case, and I'll make sure it gets Wikipedia underscores too. So, don't sweat it! ;-) --Åqúàŧĩkī - É - Ŧ 03:47, 5 July 2008 (EDT)

Hall And Oates page

Hi, I've started placin a #Redirect on each of the songs on the "Hall And Oates" page, just thought I'd check that this was what needed to be done? Thanks. --HerrCommissar 18:35, 7 July 2008 (EDT)

Okay, thanks for the heads-up, will work on correcting it, I guess you're beginning to lose patience with me now! And to think, I never really liked Hall & Oates! :D

--HerrCommissar 18:44, 7 July 2008 (EDT)

Having trouble getting the #Redirect to work, any ideas? Thanks.

Aha, thanks for that, all working well now, finished redirecting all of the "Hall And Oates" songs, but there's a "Daryl Hall" page with lots of incorrect listings that nearly made me cry when I found it :D In the process of re-directing some of those now, thanks for your help. EDIT: none of the #Redirects I put on the "Daryl Hall" entries seem to be working now, although when I click edit it shows up as only the #Redirect command is already there on the page. Is it just me?

It all looks good, from what I have checked. You'll get the hang of 'redirect=yes' and 'redirect=no'

Daryl Hall  _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 22:07, 12 July 2008 (EDT)

This weird thing just happened..

KingNee, I would be grateful if when you get a minute you could look at this for me. >>> this is very weird. I moved the page. I fear that whatever causes this to happen may explain those pages that cannot be deleted. Could it be the ampersands? Or the number of characters in file name?
Btw I love that Sigur Rós track you nominated. You got me curious, I know Sigur Rós are one of your fave bands (I've often seen you play their songs) but I had never been introduced to their music. I know you like Beck too (as do I) but it was what you wrote that decided me to go check them out. Beautiful song (which of course is why I put audio link against your nomination and on song page too) (Hope that was in order?) So thanks! What album would you suggest I check out first?  _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 21:28, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

Uh Oh, I think you've triggered the evil &/ bug. You are right, it can't be deleted. If you use 'And' instead of '&', that should not trigger the bug.

I am glad that you like Sigur Rós. Starálfur is from Sigur Rós:Ágætis Byrjun (1999), which is (IMO) their best. They just recently released a new one, Sigur Rós:Með Suð Í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust (2008), which is good too. Thank you for finding that audio link, (did you expect me to say it wasn't your place? :P ) that adds that extra dimension to a song's nomination, I should think.

King_Nee1114 (talk page • contributions • deletions) 21:44, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

Since I know that both & and / are commonly used, can I assume that it is only when both are used together in naming a page that triggers this bug? If it is, maybe a note should be put to this effect on the help page? _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 08:42, 10 July 2008 (EDT) (Thanks for the album recommendation)

Sometimes it happens, most of the time it does not. There is really nothing that we can do about it (I have petitioned Sean about it before, and he has been unable to fix it) so I suppose a warning would be helpful, possibly in LW:PN?

King_Nee1114 (talk page • contributions • deletions) 16:53, 10 July 2008 (EDT)

Having looked at the three songs EchoSierra refers to, it seems I may be right as it would only seem to be happening when both & and / are being used in naming song page. Hope that helps. Yes a warning on that page would be a very good idea, as otherwise more pages will be added over time.  _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 23:16, 10 July 2008 (EDT)

Something happened with Song Footer

Hi, KingNee,

Can you look at Song footer template - is it ok? (Kingnee_-_FoxyTunes.png) --Senvaikis ^(talk) 17:43, 17 July 2008 (EDT)

What's the issue?

King_Nee1114 (talk page • contributions • deletions) 00:25, 18 July 2008 (EDT)

Strange - yesterday in all footers instead of FoxyTune icon was plain text 'Kingnee_-_FoxyTunes.png'; now it's ok.

May be something wrong was with my browser on home box, not with template. Sorry for false disturbing, --Senvaikis ^(talk) 01:47, 18 July 2008 (EDT)

Ok, it seems all alright now. Do let me or one of the other admin know if it starts happening again.

King_Nee1114 (talk page • contributions • deletions) 01:53, 18 July 2008 (EDT)

I'm pretty sure that's relative to underscores replaced by spaces in image names (I've dropped an example to Ubot's owner Aquatiki). You can look here too. Additional info, important to notice effect I'm speaking about: this replace doesn't affect pages in IE (my work box), but does in FF 3.01 (home). That's why I did not notice this effect at work. Haven't tested on other browsers. But example in my post to Aquatiki shows effect of such replace irrespective of browsers. Regards, --Senvaikis ^(talk) 17:04, 19 July 2008 (EDT)

Odd, because I have FF 3.0.1, and I haven't been able to re create the problem. Does it happen every time you view a page with FF? (Also, I looked at the page you sent, and I still haven't seen it)

King_Nee1114 (talk page • contributions • deletions) 02:12, 20 July 2008 (EDT)

Weird indeed; hope you don't think I'm makin' a fool :) Here are two images corresponding:

• footer of page mentioned above

• and my post to Aquatiki:

--Senvaikis ^(talk) 04:36, 20 July 2008 (EDT)

After checking the source of page we were talking about I saw it contained no spaces in image link at all (<img src="http://lyricwiki.org/images/d/dd/Kingnee_-_FoxyTunes.png" alt="Kingnee_-_FoxyTunes.png" />). So, it became evident that the reason of such misbehavior is my box or my FF. Rebooted - no effect. Then cleared FF cache. And effect's gone!

Of course that's not applyable to example in my post to Aq - it still looks the same way.--Senvaikis ^(talk) 05:21, 20 July 2008 (EDT)

Is there a better way to do this?

Was just wondering..you know 'Batch Moves', well they only move the pages onto the artist page, don't they? Is there anyway to actually change the prefix/artist name before it hits the page? For example, I spent many hours manually redirecting all the songs that had been batch moved from The Scorpions to Scorpions. All the songs were already allocated to albums on Scorpions page. I now find myself faced with the same task on Carole King page, whereby practically all the songs in the lengthy OS list have been batch moved from Carol King and are already allocated to albums. A Herculean task indeed..!!  _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 08:10, 23 July 2008 (EDT)

Agree; more over - I'd name this task Sisyphean and never believe it's impossible to make it more brainy way (had similar discussion with Teknomunk regarding Nick Cave as such page sample).--Senvaikis ^(talk) 08:31, 23 July 2008 (EDT)

Thanks Senv, seems not then Aah well... _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 13:27, 23 July 2008 (EDT)

I don't have an easier way. I do know what you are talking about, though, from moving Kingston Trio to The Kingston Trio and Kinks to The Kinks. If I may supply a reason why we don't have mass edits: Batchmove can't decide which page has the better content. Therefore, the editor needs to go through and decide which of the two should remain, and which of the two should be overwritten.

A possible brainy way to do this (despite the fact that I can't write this stuff myself) would be to check the lyrics, and if they are the same, just merge them quietly and automatically. We three should bug User:Sean Colombo about possible plans for the future.

King_Nee1114 (talk page • contributions • deletions) 13:29, 23 July 2008 (EDT)

Aah yes that makes sense. A bot has no brain! Thanks KingNee!  _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 15:28, 23 July 2008 (EDT)

No problem. I am just going to wait until I find out if my other idea is possible. (one thing at a time you know!)

But you are right, batchmove was not written for merging to artists, but rather moving one artist to a new, empty location.

asin..

There is asin for album on album page to direct users to album. I have no problem with that. But the asin in Song footer, I confess I'm a tad confused by, since it would seem to imply, by its very inclusion on song page, that the link is meant to direct users to actual song. When it came to filling this in in the awards template for a song I felt inclined to put "not applicable", but that would of course be likely to be the case for every song, so I'd be grateful for an explanation. Is it for album? And is it incorporated into song page in case the actual album the song is on isn't in our data base?  _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 19:53, 29 July 2008 (EDT)

I do not use asin at all, actually, so I am not sure what to tell you. However, since this page ranking thing has started, "optional" has almost become "required" for a page to rank well and so I am not sure where to go on that one. I would ask Aquatiki about his opinion. Sorry I couldn't supply more info.

Song asin does have some sense - look for ex. this link. The problem is that {{SongFooter-Amazon/Sandbox}} ignores asin parameter. To be strict, it doesn't ignore asin at all, but uses it only as flag to switching Amazon info, using only artist & album names in link.--Senvaikis ^(talk) 01:36, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

Yes Senv I agree, it doesn't seem to be set up correctly, for if you click on song name it takes you to the album, but if you click on album name it takes you to song!! Just needs someone to switch links around I would say. Foo Fighters:Times Like These _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 05:48, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

It'll take no more than 3 min. for King to fix that, I'm sure :)--Senvaikis ^(talk) 06:20, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

If Aqua don't get there first..lol Template_talk:Song_Info  _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 06:22, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

Discogs parameter..and other stuff...

Sorry to bother you KingNee, but I would be grateful if, when you got a spare minute, you could look at this post. Thank you.  _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 09:45, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

Sorry KingNee but I think part of my question on the above got overlooked (as happens ..lol) My question being - where is the Discogs info? Because |discogs = doesn't work and I thought there was a parameter like musicbrainz, iTunes, etc. for when you knew the id.
And btw you can add Sandbot to your list of bots now ;) Needless to say, if she can help you with something in particular just leave me a message and I'll do my best to try and get her to co-operate (she's a bit slow atm and very temperamental)  _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 15:11, 10 August 2008 (EDT)

Good call, I had forgotten. I'll get into that when I can (which should be by Tuesday at the latest)

And of course I can add Sandbot (talk • contribs) to my list of bots...as well as reinstate Mischko's active standing :D .

UPDATE: Things have been a little crazy for me. All I have time for right now is the occasional sit down, so I still have the intention of adding the discogs parameter.

No worries..whenever is plenty good enough for me ;). (Sandbot is renamed SandBot now btw.)  _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 14:14, 12 August 2008 (EDT)

Re Uncategorised - We got a bit of a problem...

When you got a minute I'd be pleased if you'd have a read of this. I know you are extremely busy so I really didn't want to bother you with this, but I asked Sean, then Aqua but Sean hasn't replied and Aqua can't sort. it...[2] Thanks. I'll continue with the uncategorised when this is fixed. _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 15:24, 11 August 2008 (EDT)

Announcement

OK, things are getting interesting for me, and more so by the day. At the end of this week I will be moving. I won't be very LW active for a time (its indeterminate just how long that is), and I just wanted to make sure that was known, beforehand.

Thanks,

External Links

Wikipedia

I know you're not here atm but I just thought I'd leave a link to this post before I forgot Template_talk:SongFooter#Wikipedia. Hope the move went smoothly!  _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 17:44, 24 August 2008 (EDT)

Last fm

The last fm link on album pages only works with soundtrack albums if artist is entered in footer as "Soundtrack". See Orange_County:_The_Soundtrack_(2001).  _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 07:29, 26 August 2008 (EDT)

I see that somebody else took care of the first one, as far as the second one, I don't know if or not you have asked someone else to take that on, but I would recommend it, since I do not have the time, or the tools to bash through that one.

BTW, my move went well, but I still don't have internet. Thanks for asking!

Okey Dokey. Yes Mishko is back in action and he sorted the Wikipedia link for us. Glad you are Ok. we are holding the fort ;) Take good care.  _♫Яєd_{xx ♪}♫♪_♫♪^Talk 16:27, 27 August 2008 (EDT)
