Talk:Love Shack

The metadata subpage is missing. You can start it via filling in this form or by following the instructions that come up after clicking on the [show] link to the right.

Do you see this on PREVIEW? then SAVE! before following a link. There is no Metadata template or article page associated with this subpage. This is an Orphan subpage. Details: You may see this box for one of three reasons. Either: A - New page has been created B - Orphaned subpage; accidently not moved with the old cluster. C - Cluster move is in progress Click on the option that best describes what you are trying to do. Each hyperlink will give you some recommendations for the next step. [Feel free to recommend improvements to the text or links in this template] A - New page created If you are in the process of starting a new cluster then: The following links will be useful: Create the metadata page . Create the article page ; Constables will create the approval page when article is approved. B- Orphaned subpage If you found this page by following a hyperlink to this page, you may have found an orphaned subpage or metadata page. What next? If this is a subpage: a) with content: Someone may have created subpage content without an article. A page may have been moved to a new location and this page may have been accidently left behind. The former article might have existed at "Love Shack". Or it was created as a stand alone subpage and never had an associated article or metadata page. Consider if there is a home to merge the data to or consider starting a cluster around this content. b) without content: As this page is not associated with any article it should probably be deleted. If the article name includes a slash: A slash (/) in a title is not compatible with the CZ subpages format. Make this page into a redirect to a more appropriate name. For an example, see Linux. [Feel free to recommend improvements to the text or links in this template] C- For a Cluster Move The metadata template needs to be moved to the new name. It, or clues to its location can be found at the following link. If this is the new metadata template the pagename field has been updated too soon. Change back to the old name and continue guided by the semiautomated Cluster Move Information box. [Feel free to recommend improvements to the text or links in this template]

Maintainability

I have a request.

If you want to add articles about pop songs, then please go to CZ:Music Workgroup and from there create a link to a new policy page in which you lay out a suggested format and standards for articles about pop songs. Among these should be this important question: given that we lack the resources (and will continue to lack them for a long time) to manage a complete database of the songs of even very popular bands, what practical and well-reasoned criteria can we use to determine whether a song fits our maintainability requirements? On the latter, see CZ:Maintainability.

Sorry to give you so much work, but I'd like to do this right.  :-)

Also I suspect that with the limitless numbers of song names, it's best that we always affix "(song)" to the page title: Love Shack (song).

Thanks in advance! Larry Sanger 13:15, 5 February 2007 (CST)

Consider this one of my many test cases I'll be bringing over in the coming days, Larry. I'm hoping we can handle things sanely. --Jeff Raymond 13:23, 5 February 2007 (CST)

OK-dokey but what are you testing? And do you agree that we can do this sanely only if we have the above standards worked out? Deep TIA --Larry Sanger 19:35, 5 February 2007 (CST)

TIA? I have a few articles I'm looking to port over/work on, and hopefully that will work out. Obviously I have no ability to "test" test, but yeah. --Jeff Raymond 19:54, 5 February 2007 (CST)
