==Linking from Wikipedia to MusicBrainz==
===Thoughts===


Once there are enough Wikipedia articles linking to [[MusicBrainz]], a link from [[MusicBrainz]] database entries to Wikipedia articles in different languages could be added. A list of each article with a link to [[MusicBrainz]] is available here:

Unfortunatly the German Wikipedia changed its template and currently only artists can be linked and only with the Row ID. Don't ask why, its simply stupid. You can help discussing about this at [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage_Diskussion:Musicbrainz http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage_Diskussion:Musicbrainz]. So if you want to link to a [[Msuic Brainz|MsuicBrainz]] artist page in Wikipedia use the following code in the article:

Linking Wikipedia and MusicBrainz together

Attention.png Oops, this page was a duplicate of WikipediaAndMusicBrainz. The cluster of WikiPedia (missing) WikipediaAndMusicBrainz and LinkWikipediaAndMusicBrainz has been restructured.

Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia Wiki in multiple languages that is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. It contains many articles on bands and other artists. This is a short draft describing the possible collaboration between MusicBrainz and Wikipedia.

Linking from MusicBrainz to WikiPedia

You can use the WikipediaRelationshipType to add an AdvancedRelationship (AR) between an artist or album and their Wikipedia url.

Linking from Wikipedia to MusicBrainz

A list of each article with a link to MusicBrainz is available here:

http://de.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Spezial:Whatlinkshere&target=Vorlage%3AMusicbrainz

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Template%3AMusicbrainz

You can export each article with MediaWiki's XML-export function and parse the template link to get the coresponding MusicBrainz ID.

Linking from the English Wikipedia to MusicBrainz

At the English Wikipedia, use the templates

to link to MusicBrainz objects, and

to link to the MusicbrainzWiki, where the ALLCAPSWORDS are arguments.

Linking from the German Wikipedia to MusicBrainz

Unfortunatly the German Wikipedia changed its template and currently only artists can be linked and only with the Row ID. Don't ask why, its simply stupid. You can help discussing about this at http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorlage_Diskussion:Musicbrainz. So if you want to link to a MusicBrainz artist page in Wikipedia use the following code in the article:

 {{musicbrainz|ROWID}}

See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABBA#Weblinks for an example.

Discussion

  1. Can you create a simple list of all artists and their permanent link URL? We could add links from Wikipedia to MusicBrainz much more easily this way!
  2. Is it ok to use this icon: File:Musicbrainz.png under GFDL?
 ABBA;   artist/d87e52c5-bb8d-4da8-b941-9f4928627dc8.html
 ..      ...
 ZZ TOP; artist/a81259a0-a2f5-464b-866e-71220f2739f1.html
