Help:Categories

We use categories to systemize albums, composers, songs and arias. We amply use templates. The box around the aria title has a specific colour for every century. Likewise, sacred and secular works are distinguished by their border.

List of categories

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

[[Category:Musicians]] This category might yet be further split into sub-categories. For now, there is only one. It refers to performers, not to people like Reynaldo Hahn, who also sang and played the piano.	x
[[Category:18th-century musicians] |[[Category:17th-century musicians]] [[Category:19th-century musicians]] [[Category:20th-century musicians]] These categories refers to historic musicians, like Farinelli		x

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.

Our own templates that are mainly for transcluding purposses are named [[Category:Jaroussky wiki templates]] Put this category tag into "noinclude" brackets like so: <noinclude>[[Category:Jaroussky wiki templates]]</noinclude> to avoid the transcluding page being categorized the same way.		x

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
}}
    </div>
   </div>
