User blog:MemberD/5,099 pages / Albums and singles

Reached 5,099 pages today which has been pretty good going. Not sure yet what 5,100 is going to be.

Regarding Albums and Singles, as I've decided I'm never going to be able to cover too many singles with individual pages, I've decided to list them under their parent album eg. A Broken Frame, with their own section (#Singles), which will include just the basic info. Such singles may still have their own page, with appropriate Categories (eg. Category:1981_singles) but will then redirect to appropriate album page eg. In the Air Tonight.

Exceptions can be made for No.1 singles, singles without parent albums, Category:Number_1_singles, any other outstanding singles of note, or where the parent album is not particularly of note, or of course any Category:Singles pages I've created already. NB Singles should also always be categorised as Category:Songs.

I've also created a reference page for Albums with links to categories and sub-categories listed by year, month artist etc. I should be doing the same for Singles soon too.

I've also done quite a lot of Year based on a model I found on another site and adapted. Plus checking up the calendar patterns I can pretty much do them in fairly quick succession, given the time.

Sort of getting used to the new methodology since the changeover. Some things have improved others not ... eg. I notice I can't insert my signature into blog posts anymore!



So long..
