[edit] Manic Street Preachers - Gigoraphy

Hi! I am looking at your various edits around the Manic Street Preachers, and particularly contribution around the Gigography page which you created. The information you are adding is great, but I am not sure it justifies a separate page for each gig - if everyone did the same, we'd have thousands of pages of lists of songs, which wouldn't be a great idea. Could you not list the various gigs/songs on one page as a list, which is split by year/venue? Rgds, - Trident13 14:44, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

You can put it all in one list - and then keep the Gigoraphy page, and just reference out to that single list. If you section the list correctly (ie - by year probably to keep it encyclopedic - would be difficult by gig venue), then the referencing from the main page becomes very easy. If you need a hand, just ask! - Trident13 15:12, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
Putting individual setlists in articles is way, way more detail than an encyclopedia should have. While the band is certainly significant, an individual show would have to be of truely historic proportions to warrant its own article, in my opinion. Friday (talk) 15:31, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
With wiki, can you link to sections on the same page like with html? Sorry I'm not all that experienced with it. User:Dead passive
I would agree with Friday - hence single article with links. OK, say you want to link to an article called "Apples" with a sub section called "Granny Smith". You insert a link between double square brackets, linking to it with text Apples#Granny Smith - the hach sign does the linking automatically. So, write an article called "Machic Street Preacher Gig Guide", create a series of subsections with each of the gigs, and link to them using the same prefix.
