Thank you for a nice start. I miss cantatas ;) - I think the related topics are rather distant, and don't think Christmas Eve should be part of Advent. Perhaps the songs deserve a separate section? More to come. "Wachet auf" seems more related than Christmas Eve. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:42, 1 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
Thanks! Yes, I agree, please do compile cantatas. The music section could comfortably split into subgroups with more material. Perhaps hymns & carols, cantatas, publications...? There is a category called category:Advent songs but it's very incomplete and I don't like the title either. I do think Christmas Eve should be retained though - it is the last day of Advent, after all.
Interesting question about the use of quotes around hymns - yes, according to MOS:ITALICTITLE and MOS:QUOTETITLE, major works get italics and songs (presumably also hymns) get quotes. So technically you're right, we should quote all the hymns and songs here, but I wonder if it's necessary/desirable to do this in navboxes? I'm not sure what the guidelines are, but happy to comply with whatever the MOS stipulates. Cnbrb (talk) 18:28, 1 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
in {{Lutheran hymns}}, we discuss it, and are close to removing them because they are all hymns. In the present mix, I thought they'd be useful. If we have a section of only songs, we can drop them again. We might even make Latin songs, English and German separate. The Advent cantatas are all here. - I would include only those with an article, not just IMSPL or redirect. - No idea if alphabetical is a good idea of sorting. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:21, 1 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
Ah, very interesting! Thanks for that link. It's amazing what's hidden away in the depths of Wikipedia! OK, re. the quotes, let's wait until the Lutherans have decided. I don't feel strongly whether we should have quotation marks or not, but I do think that it should be consistent within the navbox. I'll have a go and improving the music section and we can see what we think. Cnbrb (talk) 10:57, 2 December 2017 (UTC)Reply
