Page types

  • Composer/Artist — one page per person, plain name as the title (e.g. Blas Galindo). Uses {{Composer infobox}}.
  • Work/Piece/Song — one page per musical work, plain title (e.g. Arrullo). If two works share a title, disambiguate as Title (Composer Name). Uses {{Work infobox}}.
  • File/Score/Recording — MediaWiki's native File: namespace, one per uploaded PDF/audio file, named Title - Composer Name.pdf (or similar). Linked from the relevant Work page under a "Score" or "Recording" heading. Full upload workflow is Phase 3.

Category structure

Three parallel trees — a Work is tagged into all three, not nested under one:

This mirrors how pentalatin.vercel.app/explore filters — country, composer, and genre as equal, independent facets, rather than IMSLP's genre/composer-only hierarchy. Geography is a first-class axis here because it matters more for Latin American repertoire than it does for IMSLP's classical/public-domain focus.

Genre and country subcategories are created as needed, not pre-populated exhaustively — see Phase 6 (import/population) in the global plan.

Templates

Blas Galindo and Arrullo are worked examples showing the full pattern end to end.
