Milestones edit

Formatting requirements edit

  • All articles require section markers around the parts on the first and last pages of the article. e.g. <section begin="Beethoven, Ludwig van" /> & <section end="Beethoven, Ludwig van" />. Don't use an ampersand (&) in a section name as this causes problems with transclusion.
  • Internal links are in the format [[../Beethoven, Ludwig van|Beethoven]]. Often the text will be in small-caps, so add {{sc}} to either the piped text or around the link.
  • A few special characters can be entered as text (these three characters are also in the symbols editbox):
♭ & # x 266 d; (omit spaces)
♮ & # x 266 e; (omit spaces)
♯ & # x 266 f; (omit spaces)
  • All other symbols need to be done as images (unless a music webfont is created)

  • Author links at the end of articles are in the format {{right|[ [[Author:J. A. Fuller-Maitland|M.]] ]}}
