User talk:Sylvia Anna

Welcome!
Welcome to RufusWainwright.wiki! I really hope this site can serve as both a community hub and a resource for fans. :) I am sure your Wikipedia experience will be helpful here! --Jason (talk) 14:35, 22 July 2014 (MDT)
 * Thanks, Jason. I am confident that I can be helpful, yes. I also have some experience with building a new wiki, creating help pages and stuff. Tell me if I can help with these things.--Sylvia Anna (talk) 14:44, 22 July 2014 (MDT)
 * Will do, thanks for offering! Right now I am just trying to think of the best framework for the site, and the most appropriate Portals for the Main Page. For example, Performances might link to concert tours, special concerts, television performances, etc. We should probably use the Main Page talk page for most content discussion, at least for now. --Jason (talk) 14:51, 22 July 2014 (MDT)

"Name wiki"
Sylvia, is there something I need to do so that the pages don't actually say "Name wiki:"? Ideally, they would just be called "Wiki:". --Jason (talk) 08:45, 23 July 2014 (MDT)
 * I tried "wiki:First steps", but it didn't work. Then I used "Name wiki:" because the links at the bottom (e.g. Privacy policy) also look like this. I guess there is a placeholder somewhere in the software that you would have to rename. I am not familiar with the software in the background, though. In another wiki it is the name of the wiki, so here it would look like "RufusWainwright:First steps" etc.--Sylvia Anna (talk) 11:50, 23 July 2014 (MDT)

Album categories
Sylvia, I am not sure a category like "Category:All Days Are Nights: Songs for Lulu" should be categorized under "Albums", as it is not a category containing albums. In other words, it is not a subcategory of albums. I wonder if subcategories of Albums could be Rufus Wainwright albums, Soundtrack albums, Compilation albums, etc.? --Jason (talk) 14:29, 23 July 2014 (MDT)
 * Hm, do we intend to write articles about soundtrack albums? Only then such a category would make sense. We could make subcategories of category "Albums" called "studio albums", "live albums" and "compilation albums" and then put the album categories into those categories. So we would have Albums - Studio albums - Poses, for example. I don't see the need for a category "Rufus Wainwright albums", because they are all RW albums.--Sylvia Anna (talk) 14:46, 23 July 2014 (MDT)
 * It's a good question. Would we want to create an article for compilation albums he appears on? What about albums like Sing Me the Songs, where he is clearly very involved and appears on multiple tracks. Hard to draw the line. --Jason (talk) 14:56, 23 July 2014 (MDT)
 * I would create an article for "Sing Me The Songs", as he co-produced it and it was his project. I would not create articles for soundtrack albums where he just sang one song or two.--Sylvia Anna (talk) 14:58, 23 July 2014 (MDT)
 * I agree in general, but maybe it is a case by case basis. Maybe, for example, there is enough information about the Meet the Robinsons project to warrant an article for the soundtrack. Thanks for removing the Albums category from the album articles. We will get these questions answered and kinks sorted out soon enough! :) I am glad to have your voice here. --Jason (talk) 15:02, 23 July 2014 (MDT)

Thanks, I'm glad that I can help. Should we write an article about a soundtrack, we can still create a suitable category. We don't have to decide this now.--Sylvia Anna (talk) 15:15, 23 July 2014 (MDT)
 * Sounds great. Also, at some point, we should try to create an "ideal" song article, to serve as a standard for others. Determine the important sections to include track details, lyrical and musical references, song synthesis, reception, etc. Of course, no rush, but it does sound fun. --Jason (talk) 15:42, 23 July 2014 (MDT)
