Lent

Hello all!

I thought I'd just leave a quick note to say that during Lent, I'm going to be less active on this site as I try to focus more on God. I'm not abandoning the site completely so please do feel free to message me - however I won't be as active as I sometimes am!

All the best,

Pete :)

'Launching' the wiki!

Hi all!

Over the last week, you'll have seen the first phase of stub removal taking place. I'm not planning on removing any more stubs until after Easter, so there's plenty of time to help get any pages you'd like up to scratch - any pages which are being deleted now are just duplicate pages that weren't caught in the change of naming system that happened last year.

I've now made all the major changes I was planning on making before declaring the Wiki effectively 'open for business' - clearly there's a lot still to do but I think we're in a state now where it's reasonably easy for others to help out if they want to! To that effect, I've updated the text on the home page giving a bit more guidance on how to help.

I've also replaced Talk Pages …

Stub Removal

Hi all!

Apologies for the time between blog posts - I've not had as much free time as previously anticipated! I have now added basic information onto all the artist pages from the other Christian Music wiki, so no more empty pages (although still plenty of pages requiring more detailed information!)

Over the last week, you may have noticed me running some bot scripts to remove unnecessary 'junk' from song and album pages, and also creating a new guidance page for adding information to songs and albums. This is in preparation for what is probably the change which will make the biggest impact to the Wiki - the removal of the large number of 'stub' pages for artists and songs.

The reason for this is that pages which include very little to no inf…

Christian Music Wiki Merge

Good evening! (or morning/afternoon depending on where in the world you are).

Apologies for being largely absent over the last month - I've started a new job and moved home in a relatively short period of time so haven't had that much time on my hands. Hopefully I'll be more active here as I get back into the swing of things!

I'm writing mainly to say that I will be going ahead with merging the Christian Music Wiki into this one over the coming days. This will involve moving all the pages on their site onto ours, and resolving any conflicts with pages which exist on both sites. Hopefully this will be a relatively simple process, but I will keep you posted!

Pete :)

Update: 19/08/2022

Hello all!

Just checking in to say that I'll be away for a couple of weeks as I'll be on holiday in Scotland! So I'll just update you with all the comings and goings on here.


You might have seen that term on some of my recent edits! Basically, I'm trying to get as many of the existing artist pages filled up with information as possible, as well as creating a few new ones to bring the site a bit more up to date. Anyone else who'd like to help is very much more than welcome - the artist guidance page should have all the info you need!


As you may be aware, there is another Fandom site with almost the same name as ours; the Christian Music Wiki. I'm hoping to be able to merge that site into ours, so I have messaged the founder and left a blog pos…

Update: 09/08/2022

Hello all!

As you may have seen, the naming system change described in my last blog post has now taken effect. It did take a bit more manual work than I'd have hoped (there were a lot of duplicate pages on the site!) but it is now done. Since then I've been quite busy off the site, however I have updated the infoboxes on the site to make them easier to read. My next priorities are to carry on adding info to artists, and trying to update some more of the templates to make them more readable.

As always, if you have any suggestions feel free to send me a message!

All the best,

Pete

Site-wide change of naming system

Hello all!

In my previous blogs, I have mentioned that I was planning on replacing the current artist/album/song naming system with one more similar to Wikipedia (the reasons were given in my first blog post). I'm giving you an update to say that I've written the bot scripts and am intending to run them tomorrow, so here is a little more detail into what will happen.

This morning, I ran my first bot script, which collected all the page titles on the Wiki and proposed new names for each of them. These names will be as follows:

  • First, the name of the artist/album/song is found. If there are no other pages on the Wiki which want this name, this will become the page title of the song.
  • If multiple pages want this title, but this page in question is…

Update: 26/07/2022

Hi all!

It's been a week since I penned my first blog post, and I've started making my first change to the site. This was to create a new guidance page for adding information to artists, which you are more than welcome to view. If you have any more suggestions for that page, you are more than welcome to leave them in the comments of this post.

I have also added a few more templates; namely, one denoting when an old guidance page is out of date, and another to put on categories encouraging editors to add new artists. I did temporarily change the stub template, before realising that it applied to song pages as well as artist ones! The front page has also been updated to show the progress so far.

The next step is that of changing album/song titl…

A message from your new admin!

Hello all! I've just completed the adoption of this wiki and I'd like to introduce myself 😊 I'm Pete, and I'm from Leeds in the UK. I have been a Christian for quite a few years (although I'll be the first to say I'm still very much on a journey), however I've only really gotten into Christian music over the last few. I founded the Britain's Got Talent Wiki many a year ago, I did found a couple more around 2014-15 that didn't last too long but I'm committed to making sure I stick around here.

I think God has made it clear to me that I need to come into this role with humility; I recognise that on my own I would just immediately re-design and change everything, but I'm aware that's not how I should be using this responsibility. I have also b…
