IMSLP No More

edit

See: http://imslp.org/ ...agree with the cease and desist, and take down the entire site.

I suspect this template -and Template:IMSLP2- is now obsolete? As are thousands of links in Wikipedia articles? Michael Bednarek 06:04, 20 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

This template is no longer necessary,as IMSLP is closed down now. This template should be deleted.24.161.53.152 22:32, 22 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Dear anonymous user. The template is perfectly as it is now: on hold. In the (very probable) case of a restart of the website, the template can easily switched back to an active form. Undeleting will be a more laborious process.--Dr. Friendly 16:48, 23 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

IMSLP back up...

edit

As IMSLP is now back online, could someone with the know-how update the template to link to the appropriate IMSLP page? Cheers --Bobnotts talk 12:30, 2 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

I thought I did so already two days ago. Did I miss something? --Leonard Vertighel (talk) 06:18, 3 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Strictly, wrong target

edit

The page should strictly speaking go to imslp.org, not www.imslp.org but it still works... Schissel | Sound the Note! 18:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

The template doesn't itself use www.imslp.org; instead, it uses the Interwiki Map Shortcut scores:. The definition of that shortcut is stored at meta:Interwiki map and I raised the issue there. Implementing such a change might take several months. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 08:15, 21 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Also- on some machines (e.g. some Macs with OS 10.6), this seems to be "translating" and messing up diacritics (following links from pages that require ü leads to an error, apparently). Not sure how common this is, or what's causing it, but it is odd... it may be because of something in the coding somewhere along the way rather than the computer, and not quite sure where to note it- maybe on the IMSLP end, if that seems the more likely culprit...

This happens to me (using Internet Explorer 8 or Firefox 3.5.2) too. It seems to me, it's a problem at IMSLP when URLs like http://www.imslp.org/wiki/Category:Bart%C3%B3k,_B%C3%A9la get transformed to http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Bart%EF%BF%BDk,_B%EF%BF%BDla. I'm going to raise the issue at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical), hoping that might accelerate action at meta:Interwiki map. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 12:54, 14 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
The shortcut scores: has now been fixed at Wikimedia. However, I think there is currently no need to revert to the version of this template and of {{IMSLP2}} which uses that shortcut. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 09:14, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
I think it should be reverted because of Wikimedia's nofollow policy for external links. Please let me know if there is a problem with this. --Leonard Vertighel (talk) 10:48, 15 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hrm...!

edit

now that IMSLP is increasingly less restricted to scores but expanding to scores, recordings, books about music, etc. ... and has categories for composers, editors, arrangers, authors, etc. ... - but the template still reads scores - should perhaps the template text change, and how, or no? ...

Changes (latest)

edit

I get merging the IMSLP2 template into this one (so long as it only causes a editor level deprecation warning while leaving the template alone.) Changing IMSLP so that the 1 or 2 old instances with id instead of author break on a "user" rather than editor-warn level seems unwise though. (Put otherwise, it was damned stupid. Good work peeps!)

Displayed text

edit

It's odd that 'authors' have "Free scores" while 'works' just have "Scores". Is there any elegant way to get:
Free scores featuring the piano 6-hands at the International Music Score Library Project (IMSLP)
instead of the kludge used at Piano six hands? Sparafucil (talk) 09:27, 1 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

I think that method used at Piano six hands is quite ingenious. The description can be changed (a bit) with |descr=:
but I see no reason not to change the standard description for works to "free scores" or "Free scores". -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 12:22, 1 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, that should teach me to read Usage before skimming the Examples ;-) Sparafucil (talk) 19:54, 1 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

IMSLP no more (2)

edit

I wonder why User:Headbomb removed the text "(IMSLP)" for works in this edit. This well known abbreviation for that project is still there for composers, and it's really helpful when searching through article content for use of this template. I suggest to restore it. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 12:12, 26 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Because it's redundant. There's no point in writing |journal=Journal of Physics (J. Phys.), |publisher=National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), |publisher=American Physical Society (APS), |publisher=Université de Moncton (U de M).

Add a logo image

edit

I propose adding a small logo image, similar to other sister-inline templates like {{Commons-inline}}. This would provider for better and more appealing visual distinction.

Wikidata

edit

I see a number of templates now allow one to retrieve the variable data from Wikidata (e.g. Template:IBDB, Template:IOBDB). Perhaps this IMSLP template can be modified to allow for that too? - kosboot (talk) 18:01, 28 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

issuu

edit

Some works too much in copyright to be downloaded from IMSLP (making this template unuseful) can be browsed online , sometimes in full, at sites like ISSUU, and legally. Many works by Holmboe and others, for instance, can be found there. ELSchissel (talk) 15:14, 9 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

I mention this because if IMSLP is being used in the article to establish qualities of the work with reference to reliable publications of it, issuu can sometimes serve a similar purpose when imslp can’t. ELSchissel (talk) 15:17, 9 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
