Track listing: linking and naming
I'm trying to follow the advice of Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Album article style advice, but I don't quite know how to follow the spirit of the rule.
If I may use an example from Triplicate, I recently edited this track listing:
All tracks are written by Dave Holland, except as noted.
| No. | Title | Writer(s) | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | "Games" | Coleman | 5:04 |
| 2. | "Quiet Fire" | 5:47 | |
| 3. | "Take the Coltrane" | Duke Ellington | 6:24 |
| 4. | "Rivers Run" (dedicated to composer and multi-instrumentalist Sam Rivers) | 9:14 | |
| 5. | "Four Winds" | 4:18 | |
| 6. | "Triple Dance" | 8:05 | |
| 7. | "Blue" | DeJohnette | 6:06 |
| 8. | "African Lullaby" |
| 3:08 |
| 9. | "Segment" | Charlie Parker | 6:34 |
As Holland, Coleman, and DeJohnette are named and linked in the lead, I unlinked them, and removed the first names in the track listing, while keeping the full name and link in the personnel section.
Am I in the wrong? Should the trio's names be linked with full names on first appearances in the section?
And, if so, would the mention of Holland as writer preclude the the full name on his arrangement credited? TlonicChronic (talk) 19:01, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
- I think that's right since links should appear at most once per page. Amojobim (talk) 01:24, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
- Does that apply to the the names of publications in the rating box and musicians in the personnel section? (I'm fine applying the guidelines, whatever they are, but as a user, I kinda like the double linking.) And if so, which links take precedent? I would assume lead for musicians and rating box for publications? TlonicChronic (talk) 01:38, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
