Category:Gangnam Style

edit

Greetings,

How are you? I don't like to sound nosy or anything, but how did Psy's single Gangnam Style have its eponymous category, unlike the rest of the singles? If I am not mistaken. Would you like to explain in simple terms? Just curious.


Thanks,

Because there are multiple associated articles which have been placed in it, and clearly some editor thought it would be helpful to be able to navigate between those articles. Not very many songs get eponymous categories (you can see them all in Category:Wikipedia categories named after musical compositions), but it makes sense to me why this one would.

Is that okay if I take a screenshot for future reference regarding category? Thanks! Inajd Inajd0101 (talk) 03:12, 7 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

This is true! But also you have my permission if you think you really need it. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 03:44, 7 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Eponymous category for "Why Do Fools Fall in Love (song)" article

edit

Greetings everyone,

How are you? Just curious, since there are articles associated with the article "Why Do Fools Fall in Love (song)," would that be okay if I may add "Category:Why Do Fools Fall in Love." Thanks!


I asked anyone about why "Gangnam Style" article has its own eponymous category and one person (QuietHere) explained that "there are multiple associated articles which have been placed in it, and clearly some editor thought it would be helpful to be able to navigate between those articles." Thanks!


Best regards,

Disambiguating song artist categories

edit

For the songs of Feeder (band) we have Category:Feeder songs but for the songs of Reef (band) we have Category:Reef (band) songs. These can't both be correct - should we disambiguate or not? I have seen other categories disambiguated in this way but I don't know if it is necessary. --Jameboy (talk) 09:02, 27 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I believe the category should follow the band article name, so it should be Category:Feeder (band) songs, but I'll wait for others to chime in. Richard3120 (talk) 15:15, 27 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
This disinterested passerby agrees. —Tamfang (talk) 07:03, 28 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

|album= parameter

edit

When exactly to and not to include |album= parameter in infoboxes for songs? I have read what Template:Infobox song#album says, but that doesn't clarify much. How exactly do we decide whether a song is from that album or not? (i mean, of course, if it's in the track listing, we'll mention it was later included in that album, but what about using the parameter itself?) Do we rely on announcements, trailers, or any mentions by the artist/label? Though the discussion doesn't exactly start with this, a little more context is present here. Thank you.

Split of Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You needed

edit

The consensus so far has unanimously agreed to split the I Will Always Love You#Whitney Houston version. Nonetheless, I figured it's a lot of work, so help is needed. Thanks! George Ho (talk) 17:43, 1 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I performed the split. Someone else might have to clean up stuff. Heartfox (talk) 21:04, 2 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
