User talk:Ipso
From LyricWiki
(Thanks to Sean)
LyricWiki is a site that has lyrics for more than 600,000 songs (wow, that's a lot!).
If you need any assistance, make sure you ask in the Community Portal, in the IRC channel or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. If you need help getting started, check out the help pages. Actually, you might want to check them out anyway, particularly Formatting Artists, Formatting Albums and Formatting Songs sections, to see which cool templates you can (should) use.
An important tip for new users: LyricWiki breaks some of the usual capitalization rules for artists, albums, and song titles. Please see LyricWiki:Page names for more information.
Have fun!

Greetings!
(I thought I'd continue the conversation from the LyricWiki_talk:Community_Portal#No_Artist discussion here, as it no longer really relates to the template & situation.)
It's certainly good that you are a "Wikipedia nerd." We need a few dozen more of those around here. Personally, I was a total Wiki newcomer when I started here about 2 1/2 months ago. Wikipedia has the "Be Bold" motto, and that certainly applies here. Although the place gets a number of users, only a percentage take the time to edit, and a much smaller percentage are regulars. Some of us are so regular that Sean makes us sysops. Each of us regulars (if you look at the names on the Community Portal, those are many of the regulars) have a niche or two that we fill. I tend to rework and organize artists with a larger discography (most avoid the large amount of work it takes to correct capitalization and such on those pages) and I've rewritten and reorganized many of the main help sections. As for the help pages, I was definitely bold. I asked one of the sysops (teknomunk, I think) if it was allowed to edit those pages, and then when he said it was okay I went to town...no discussion...nothin'. And those are major pages, so trust me you were above board in all ways. (If you have suggestions on the help pages, I'd be glad to get some more eyes on those from a knowledgeable LyricWiki newcomer, BTW.) So, welcome to the team!

Album Inclusion Templates
I have seen you doing some work with having album pagess included on the artist page. I did a little work on this a while ago and I thought I would let you know before you got to far. A little overview of what I have done already can be found at the top of my talk page. It has been a little while since I did any work with it but it is all still there. I haven't really tried to push for this yet, as I was the only one working on it.
The way you are trying to get it to work with User:Ipso/Sandbox/Albuminclude-top is not going to work. I tried this and the <includeonly> tags only work for one level of inclusion, which is why I used a parameter to pass the desired value through.
If you want to collaberate on this, or to pick up where I last left off, feel free to do so.
