:Although remember we do already have the incomplete list at [[In pop culture]], so you could use that rather than create a new page. Good idea, your call on how to execute [[User:Sheepdean|sheepdean]] [[User_talk:Sheepdean|Try to speak as clearly as you can]] 06:55, 16 August 2009 (PDT)
== Adding BPMs to song pages ==
here's my next ambitious idea: to include the BPM rate of every song (studio released, anyway) on its page (and subsequently any differing BPMs for remixes, etc.) and to make the BPM rate a link to the List of BPM Rates page. y/y? help me out on it? - [[User:Seasonsinthesky|seasonsinthesky]] 14:25, 9 February 2010 (PST)
:Seems reasonable. I would put them in the song template at the top personally, so would that be a template thing, or would you prefer it to be in the versions header? I think the advantage of it being in the template is that (a) if we code it in, we can change things faster and (b) it'll look prettier, but if you'd rather have it bolded/italicised in versions, your call, you seem to know more about these things. I'll be happy to implement any template changes needed, or copy.paste in the 200 and whatever numbers [[User:Sheepdean|sheepdean]] [[User_talk:Sheepdean|Try to speak as clearly as you can]] 15:42, 9 February 2010 (PST)
::pffft that sounds like the easiest way to me (the template thing), if you want to do that. i'd much rather not edit all the song articles just to stick in a sentence per version about its BPM! also, for the tracks that don't have a listed BPM yet, i'll work on that when i can, since it kinda bugs me that some of them are blatantly off — for instance, i checked out the RWIB tempo the other week and it was WAY OFF on the List of BPM Rates page — and we obviously want accuracy here. - [[User:Seasonsinthesky|seasonsinthesky]] 18:18, 9 February 2010 (PST)
:::As I'm not about to break open ninwiki and throw in a ton of java, each page will still have to be edited, but only 3 or 4 characters per song version. Also, as I was just looking at the coding for the song template, I've noticed a problem - we can't just put it in next to each version unless we do it manually. So maybe we only do the bpm of the original mix at first, and then try and decide how to make the remixes lok good (or not do them at all). I have ideas, but they will require tricky behaviour... For now:
{| style="border: 1px outset #aaa; background-color: #f9f9f9; color: black; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 1em; padding: 0.2em; float: right; clear: right;"

::::this looks marvelous for a start, good sir! who even cares about remixes? :D - [[User:Seasonsinthesky|seasonsinthesky]] 18:49, 9 February 2010 (PST)
::::I don't want to put it in until you're sure about all the BPMs though, you can leave remixes, but I don't want us pumping in information we know could be false. Hit me back when you think you've done them all =) [[User:Sheepdean|sheepdean]] [[User_talk:Sheepdean|Try to speak as clearly as you can]] 18:52, 9 February 2010 (PST)
:::::christ man, do you understand the deathwish you're signing here?! this is MUCH more tedious work, even more so than editing a wiki! - [[User:Seasonsinthesky|seasonsinthesky]] 20:32, 9 February 2010 (PST)
::::::Another term for BPM is tempo, which is the term I usually use.--[[User:Leo3375|leo3375]] 10:03, 10 February 2010 (PST)
:::::::I'm going to put this in the BPM discussion page, to make life easier
== Lyrics sections in articles about songs ==
What do you (and other adepts) think about moving lyrics higher, putting them before Appearances/Live? i kinda thought it would look nicer that way [[User:BenAkenobi|BenAkenobi]] 11:58, 21 January 2011 (PST)
:i think i prefer it as is — was thinking the other day about how empty the instrumental pages look when it's just got the Live section and then the sequencer for the album tracklist and categories and then that's it for their pages. i.e. i like having lyrics at the end of the page. have you tried anything in the Sandbox or w/e yet? would be interesting to see... - [[User:Seasonsinthesky|seasonsinthesky]] 13:06, 21 January 2011 (PST)
