Subtitles

Hey there, thanks for all the work you're doing with adding subtitles to song samples :) If I may ask, could you consider adding in Template:Subtitles ↗ to the file pages, so that things get categorized? I've done one example here ↗. Thanks :) Leafy46 (talk) 20:47, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

:No problem! I'd be happy to, I am just new to wikipedia and am not sure how to do that. I'll try to figure it out though. DavidL87 (talk) 00:40, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
:Let me know if this was done correctly, I tried to follow your example. I'll go back and add this to the ones I did over the past few days.

::Brilliant, that's exactly right. Thanks again, and if you continue to work in Wikipedia's music sphere, I'll see you around :) Leafy46 (talk) 00:57, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
:::I'll see you around! I'm almost exclusively in WP:T.S. ↗ right now (as I am sure you probably noticed based on my contributions, lol) It is just hard because it feels a little as though there is not much I am able to contribute other than the odd copy edit here and there. DavidL87 (talk) 00:59, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
::::Yeah, the folks over at the TS WikiProject are super diligent, so it certainly doesn't leave a lot of room for newcomers. If there are any artists or bands you particularly like outside of Swift, I highly recommend getting some more experience with writing and page creation. For instance, I see gaps for "C'est Comme Ça ↗" by Paramore or "Sidelines ↗" by Phoebe Bridgers (both of whom opened for Swift during the Eras Tour), which you could help and create articles for. That, or you could expand one of the many stubs over at, for instance, :Category:2010s pop song stubs ↗. Don't feel any pressure, of course! These are just some ideas if you're stumped and looking for a nudge. Leafy46 (talk) 02:16, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
:::::Thanks for the advice! I'll look around when I'm feeling up to it! DavidL87 (talk) 02:48, 5 January 2026 (UTC)
