Talk:The Grand Wazoo (The Track)
Please let me know if there's anything wrong with this system! If there's no problem with it, we should include it in the Wiki guidelines.
As for the two Joe's Domage tracks: that's probably as bad as it gets with this system. I guess, you could argue that they don't really deserve pages of their own because they're just rehearsals of "the song". But, IMHO, we can't combine them with any other version because
a) they have different names, and having a link called It Ain't Real So What's The Deal? redirect to The Grand Wazoo is exactly what we want to avoid with this system, and
b) since they are rehearsals of a song, and not the song itself, they should be treated as something different (so including them on The Grand Wazoo (1972 - Paramount) for example, would be kind of an over-simplification since they could theoretically even have their own lyrics - although I really didn't want to go through the trouble of transcribing the dialogues during the rehearsals ;])

Is there any way for us to decide if the name of a song is by Zappa himself? Or just by Travers or Gail? It surely is ok to link from Systems Of Edges to Inca Roads for example because they have different names by Zappa. Redirecting is not ok, linking to respective others helps understanding Zappa's work.

I'm not exactly sure if I understand what you mean there... Do you suggest that as long as the song title is by FZ (e.g. System Of Edges) it is okay for a link to that song to actually link to its "mother song" (e.g. Inca Roads) instead of a separate page for the song itself? (e.g. having a link that looks like this: [ [ Inca Roads | System Of Edges ] ] ) If so, I don't agree with you.
Or do you mean that we should simply treat System Of Edges as a version of Inca Roads, give it its own page, and put a link on it to the Inca Roads index page? If so, then I agree with you. But in that case I don't quite understand what you mean by "decide if the name of a song is by Zappa himself".
