@Cote d'Azur: Hey! Thank you for your recent improvements to the Sibelius navbox, which is now a much better product. I just had two points that I wanted to discuss with you, and to see if we can come to an agreement. First, I would encourage you to also provide links to other important related pages (e.g., Aino Sibelius, Ainola, Sibelius Academy), if a Related Articles page is indeed the direction we want to go. Second, and more importantly in my mind, I oppose placing Opera at the top of the navbox, for the obvious and simple reason that Sibelius was not an opera composer of any significance. As you know, he only finished one opera, and it is not in the standard repertoire. For this reason, I fear giving Opera top billing misleads (however unintentionally) the new reader. I say this with the knowledge that on Wikipedia, editors do tend to prioritize opera. Thoughts? Again, many thanks for your additions! Sgvrfjs (talk) 19:38, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Also I noticed that we now have two talk pages, one for the template Jean Sibelius and the other for the template's old name Works for Orchestra by JS. Any idea how to merge them all into one, post name change? Sgvrfjs (talk) 19:45, 3 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Almost all the composer templates have a "Related articles" group, therefore adding more articles is no problem. Templates usually start with the "Stage works" group, so "Opera" is always at the top, but if you insist I can change that. The solution to the title, I guess, is to change the name of the template from "Works for Orchestra by Jean Sibelius" to "Jean Sibelius". If it contains opera and vocal/choral works, then it is not a template for orchestral music only. Moreover, with a new name the template will look right in the newly added categories "Category:Romantic composer templates" and "Category:20th-century composer templates".
