A Question to Wiki Users

In the Wiki, everything can be linked to whereever one pleases.

Currently, I'm keeping it in the way that the songs in the setlists of the gigs link to disambiguation pages,
i.e. pages listing all possible further links around that song. For example http://sisterswiki.org/Dominion

Whereas when it comes to bootlegs or official albums and stuff, the songs in the track lists are linked directly to the lyrics page for that song.

Do you think that's alright the way it is or would you prefer songs be always linked to either the lyrics or the disambiguation page.
Of course, there are only disambiguation pages for such songs the titles of which do involve vids, albums, flexis or anything else.

Also, this has not yet been done for each and every setlist ... it's steady work in progress. That's why I think a desicion should be made on this issue.

Thanks for all your replies. Any further remarks are of course welcome ... :D ...

I'd go for disambiguation first.
From there on in, you can take it anywhere you want right?

Thanks for your replies and votes ...

Obviously, I'm the only person preferring to get from recordings, bootlegs and stuff directly to the lyrics while from concert setlists to a choice of links.

I just find it tedious to always have to go along some disambiguation page ...
On the other hand there is a choice of links that might find interest with the uninformed and/or offer the link to something others might want to read ...

so ... *sigh ... I shall adjust the whole Wiki ... with time, some time, a lot of time, actually ... :lol: ...

I'd say straight to the lyrics but how would you do medleys or different arrangements? :?

Oh yes, the medleys and combined songs ... they are one of the most original, astonishing and impressing features of The Sisters ... :eek: :D ...

And even if someone noted down the content of each individual medley ... that wouldn't mean much ...
one can only be there at the gigs and encounter or at least hear/see it them in the recordings ... mere words and descriptions would always fall short ...

As to linking again, there is not soo much of a standardised system in it now ...
and maybe it's not really necessary to apply that all too consequently ...
or more interesting and exciting to leave a few parts open to surprise and digging ... after all it's The Sisters Wiki ... :lol: ...

Didn't like it when Status Quo done it and I don't like it when The Sisters do it.

:lol: ... funny, no that you say it, I remember that I didn't like them, either.

I found them "escapist" ... :evil: ... nowadays I perceive them as utmost authentic, rather ... :D ;D :D ...

What about Comfortably Numb/SKOS or Teachers/On The Wire Two otherwise unplayed songs for the price of one. It's hardly Jive Bunny.

The songs combined of two tracks offer, IMHO not only two-in-one but some added value through the combination as well ... ;D :lol: ...

I think, I see your point , czuczu ... within combined songs it is especially funny, if one part of the song is linked to the lyrics (like Comfortably Numb) because there is no further page ... and the other half links to some variety of further links ...

Also, I just wouldn't want to have to chose between Marian (Version) and Marian (song) each time ... * sigh, I think some exceptions and variances in linking should and therefore, will remain ...

I wouldn't lose any sleep over this if I were you. I for one find the wiki easy and user-friendly to navigate. :)
As someone almost once said "Sisters, it's just a click away"...

Thanks, that sounds sweet ... ;D :lol: ...

and you're probably right ... the Wiki's Search does work nicely ...

and there is also the What links here option ... plenty ways to get from a to b ... :wink: ...
