Sperglords

The only problem I see here is that both passages are written in a retardedly heavy-handed style. Are you seriously suggesting that information like key, tempo, and chord progressions is "completely irrelevant" in an encyclopedia entry about a song?

Also, the whole point of fanboy hiveminds like Memory Alpha is that you get the obsessive types to do all the work for you just in case you do want to find some random bit of trivia for whatever reason. The more disturbingly comprehensive, the better, as long as it gets split out into separate pages. God bless the sperglords.

EDIT: Okay, that Porthos link did give me a laugh:

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I agree with the point about scope and that Wikipedia should be limited to a general overview, but I did say that splitting information into separate pages is important. An external link to a specialized wiki is not much different from a link to another page on Wikipedia itself.

What I don't get is the idea that you can have too much information, unless you're transitioning to a complaint about the environmental impact of server farms or something. It's not hard to think of a situation where you would to learn about a particular song, especially if the information helps you learn to play it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
