Help:Categories

(This page is also transcluded into Help:Templates for song info)

We use categories to systemize albums, but mostly songs and arias. To keep confusion to a minimum, there are pre-made templates for different epochs, like the 18th century, the 19th century, etc. This is paired with a colour code (yet to be determined) to fit the boxes. (There might be a distinction between sacred and secular, but also between epochs to make the user experience more intuitive, and it's only on a subliminal level.)

List of categories

(The category system and the finalized templates are not yet fully implemented, as the category system is yet under construction.)

Composers
In case of doubt, tag the century in which the composer actually wrote music. A composer like Caldara, born in 1670 checks both, 17th and 18th-century boxes.

Colour codes

This is not a consolidated suggestion yet at all! We need to decide on a "corporate" colour scheme yet which will be applied to our page as well. At present: Gradients between the colours: #DBF1F9 and #009DD4.

The colours are applied via a div tag around the song header, e. g., like this one on Quel buon pastor son io. This is done via reference to Template:Songinfo/songinfo.css. DO NOT add colours in any other way unless absolutely neessary.

<div>
   <div class="eighteenth"> 
     <div class="sacred">
{{Template:Song header
| title            = Quel buon Pastor son io
| english-title    = That good Shepherd am I
| composer         = [[Antonio Caldara]]
| lyricist         = [[Pietro Metastasio]]
| work             = [[La morte d'Abel]]
| role             = Abel
}}
