Category talk:Music

Shouldn't soundtrack pages go on their respective game articles? 00:20, 10 August 2007 (EDT)
 * Not if they're sold separately. 00:39, 10 August 2007 (EDT)

Proposal: Reorganize this category
Previously, I made a TPP to merge Category:Musical themes and Category:Songs. I canceled it because I realized instead I wanted to make this larger-scope proposal instead. Actually, it even has supplementary proposals 1 and 2, covering separate issues that don't have a reason to be bundled in with this one.

This category... it's a bit of a mess, without a clear purpose. It divides vocal and non-vocal music for no clear reason and has many things that are only music-related listed on it, only some of which are actually part of the category proper.

My guiding philosophy for this proposal is that I think this category should be our category for music or collections thereof. Other things, like musical groups or instruments or music-related collectibles, will not be included in the category.

As such, I'd like to make the following changes:
 * None of the things linked to at the top of the article will remain there, as the only one there that would be within the category's new scope is the list of albums, which is already covered by the "Albums" category.
 * The three pages under the Music category (List of references in music, Paah, and Record (WarioWare: D.I.Y.) currently will be removed, as they are merely music-related and not actually music themselves.
 * The current content of the "Musical themes" and "Songs" categories will be merged and placed under the main Music category.

Would it be a good idea to have categories for instrumental music, themes or songs, as well as vocal music/themes/songs? I can see someone wanting to differentiate the Super Mario Bros. Ground theme, a completely instrumental track, from songs with vocals and lyrics like DK Rap or Jump Up, Super Star. 19:37, July 27, 2023 (EDT)
