[edit] Could we rename the pages
Could we use the name of the ballad as the name of the page?
It would make it much easier to find the songs if the page name is the name of the song instead of the code here. Moving the pages will leave behind a redirect from the current name if anyone wanted to search on that name. Many of these songs have more than one name but redirects can be created for other names as required. OK? --Filceolaire (talk) 22:30, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
- It is probably easier and more beneficial to create redirects that link to the respective works. Where the names collide with something of a similar name, then we should create a {{disambiguation}} page. Happy to help with the latter component. -- billinghurst (talk) 01:12, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
