Can you give me the template for creating a link to a related work?
So, for instance, on the Vivian Fine page, go to Canticles from the Other Side of the River. In Comments section you'll see, "This is an instrumental version of Canticles for Jerusalem (1983).."
I'd like to make Canticles for Jerusalem a link that goes to that work on IMSLP.
Thanks very much for your help.

The short and quick way is to copy the url address and insert it. See:
http://imslp.org/wiki/Canticles_from_th ... e,_Vivian)
and
http://imslp.org/wiki/Canticles_for_Jer ... e,_Vivian)
There is also a way to get the link to show just the piece title without the "http://" stuff, but I can't remember right now what that is.
Have a look and see what you think. I added links to both pages.

Actually, there is a supplementary field you can add to the "General Information" section - |Related Works=
The way to create an intra-wiki link is to use the double square brackets [[ ]] . So, if you put in |Related Works=''[[Canticles for Jerusalem (Fine, Vivian)|Canticles for Jerusalem]]'' it will give you the title only (after the pipe-symbol), in italics which links directly to the desired page.

Thanks -- I thought it had something to do with square brackets, but couldn't remember the exact formula.

Thanks to you both. I like what you did with these 2 pieces, Steltz. Will try out the intra-wiki link with the Related Works template today on a couple of other works.

Just used Related work link on Fine's The Human Mind. Perfect!
