== 2021 updates ==
 
I added a tool to create Music templates:<br>
[https://jfwiki.org/tmaker.php TemplateMaker]<br>
It creates links to generate templates and categories for songs and artists.

* I have figured out how to code the Recording Artist pages to dynamically display all their songs and the programs they're used in.[https://jfwiki.org/index.php?title=Category:Brian_Eno Eno's a good one]. I am happy with these pages now.
 
[[User:Ramon|Ramon]] ([[User talk:Ramon|talk]]) 10:46, 30 March 2021 (EDT)
----
* Footnotes now display when you mouseover the reference number. <s>This appears to be working inconsistently.</s> It only works on pages with Tables of Contents.
* Mobile site has been updated to improve category display
* Added a page to track [https://jfwiki.org/index.php?title=Category:Music_Stub Music Stubs]
* Also a page with mp3's of some of the unidentified tracks [https://jfwiki.org/Unidentified_Music/ Unidentified_Music mp3s] - these mp3s are also accessible from the music stub category. I will continue to add them.

-----
*I am deleting all commentary sections. I moved all opinion-based commentary to the Discussion tab, and moved fact-based commentary to Miscellanea
 
*After I moved most of the commentary I decided I like having the username as a section header for discussions, so I will be adding those back..
 
[[User:Ramon|Ramon]] ([[User talk:Ramon|talk]]) 16:57, 26 March 2021 (EDT)
----
 
*Added a new template & category for tracking unidentified music. Results can be seen at [[:Category:Music_Stub]]
 
[[User:Ramon|Ramon]] ([[User talk:Ramon|talk]]) 11:48, 24 March 2021 (EDT)
----
 
*All the Song category pages now show the related song template and each show the song appears in
*Recording Artist category pages link to each individual Song category page
*Cast member category pages now redirect to cast member bio pages
*The Music Page now purges its cache every hour on the hour
*The search auto-suggest has been improved. It is no longer case sensitive, but still requires leading articles. Elastic Search cannot be fully implemented due to this being a shared server :(
 
[[User:Ramon|Ramon]] ([[User talk:Ramon|talk]]) 16:42, 23 March 2021 (EDT)
----
*I renamed all the shows which had their articles at the end.
 
*I tweaked the dpl output on cast member pages to show more program details
 
*Have finished all but one or two stray song music templates
 
*Updated the Songs and Recording artists links to go to dpl pages instead of MW Category pages.
 
[[User:Ramon|Ramon]] ([[User talk:Ramon|talk]]) 12:59, 19 March 2021 (EDT)
----
*I updated the search modules and the default "vector" skin today, let me know if anything weird crops up.
 
*The Random JF Music button now generates a 10 song YT playlist
 
[[User:Ramon|Ramon]] ([[User talk:Ramon|talk]]) 16:51, 15 March 2021 (EDT)
 
----
*I have moved the new music page to [[The_Joe_Frank_Music_Page|The_Joe_Frank_Music_Page]].<br>
*And figured out how to keep it from becoming a member of every single music category, which has me ecstatic. Wiki ecstasy.
 
*The former music page is still accessible via a link on the Discussion tab [https://jfwiki.org/index.php?title=The_Joe_Frank_Music_Page&oldid=14904 (JF Music Page)], so we can refer to that data when needed.
 
*To refresh the dynamic page after editing a == Music == section just edit & save it.

I cannot find initial air dates for the edits of [[No Show]].
I was thinking we could either have them in sequence, in 1986:
No Show 2:30 |
No Show 1:30 edit |
No Show 1hr edit
 
Or, maybe better yet, we could have one page contain all 3 No Shows by using multiple synopses.
 
Thoughts?

I made a script to check the music page youtube URLs for dead videos:<br>
I will run it occasionally. And I will try to adapt it to work for the music templates as well.
[[User:Ramon|Ramon]] ([[User talk:Ramon|talk]]) 22:55, 7 March 2021 (EST)
----
 
← I added a button that will pull up a random music track from youtube in a new window! it uses YT links, live, from the music page.
I should be able to leverage some of this code for a YT link-checker also.
 
 
[[User:Ramon|Ramon]] ([[User talk:Ramon|talk]]) 15:07, 7 March 2021 (EST)

I attempted to tag all the shows with the show category and a show by date category with dates as the sort key. I may have missed one or two.
 
[[User:Ramon|Ramon]] ([[User talk:Ramon|talk]]) 14:49, 6 March 2021 (EST)
 
----
 
I added a "Random show" button, but still need to tag 1/2 the shows with the hidden category Show.
It will give you a random show, but as of this evening only selecting from the first half of his career.

Tragically, the special word <nowiki> {{PAGENAME}} </nowiki> will not work with the new dynamic page list module, so I removed all traces of it.
 
[[User:Ramon|Ramon]] ([[User talk:Ramon|talk]]) 12:08, 3 March 2021 (EST)

I reverted to my birth name
 
[[User:Ramon|Ramon]] ([[User talk:Ramon|talk]]) 09:32, 3 March 2021 (EST)
 
 
 
Took some words out of the first sentence of the program pages.
 
Renamed Interesting Facts to Miscellanea, to manage expectations.
 
Added a new section, Shared material, with bulleted links to shows even if they are already mentioned elsewhere on the page.
 
And Additional credits, which are in quotes when transcribed from a broadcast.
If they are from Joefrank.com or by ear, a bulleted list is good. Where these disagree we can have both, sourced.
 
[[User:Ramon|Ramon]] ([[User talk:Ramon|talk]]) 21:35, 2 March 2021 (EST)

I have added YouTube links to all the song templates
 
[[User:Ramon|Ramon]] ([[User talk:Ramon|talk]]) 12:59, 28 February 2021 (EST)
 
---
 
I added a module that allows users to create their own custom sidebar menu
 
To add a custom sidebar, create [[User:<YourUsername>/Sidebar]]. Some sample markup:
two asterisks, Page_Title pipe display text, so
 
<pre> ** The_Joe_Frank_Music_Page|Music page </pre>
 
will add a link to the music page with the link text "Music page"
 
It should appear directly below the 'Site updates' link.
