Template talk:IMSLP2

IMSLP No More
See: http://imslp.org/ ...agree with the cease and desist, and take down the entire site.

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

Comment out output?
I would like to make this template not display anything on the article for now. In other words, make the output of the template entirely commented out. I'm sympathetic that if IMSLP goes back on-line we don't want to have to put all these templates back. On the other hand, it doesn't help our readers much at all to know that there used to be a copy of a work available but there isn't any more.

IMSLP back up...
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)

cname default
The current default value for cname is PAGENAME. Would it be more useful to default it to be equal to id? --Stfg (talk) 00:50, 13 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't think so. Currently it displays for La traviata:

 * Yes, that's what it currently does. It's more usual, when citing web sites, to give the title of the page being cited, isn't it? --Stfg (talk) 09:47, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Not exactly free
It is unconditionally free in Canada, but not eg in  US. See eg http://imslp.org/wiki/Petite_Suite_for_Piano,_Sz.105_%28Bart%C3%B3k,_B%C3%A9la%29

So I changed the template text accordingly. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:10, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
 * The notice at IMSLP you quote refers not only to the difference in the treatment of copyright in the US and Canada, but more generally to "life+70" vs "life+50". While the previous wording was overly inclusive ("Free scores"), your version is overly restrictive ("free according to the copyright law of Canada"). Repeating the IMSLP notice in full in this template is impractical; it's also unnecessary because the interested reader will find it there. There are many restrictions in various countries about accessing material on the internet; it's not necessary for Wikipedia to present warnings in every instance. I suggest to use the neutral term " : Scores at …". -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 04:30, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
