IMSLP:Instr

Every IMSLP contributor is (presumably) interested in music. Mostly because it's fun, users are invited to indicate which instruments they play by putting the Instr templates (originally introduced on Wikipedia (?)) on their user pages.

To find users who play a certain instrument, please see Users by instrument.

How to add your instrument level to your user page

• Start off with {{Instr|
• Next add one of the following codes for each instrument you play, separated by |, where xxx is the code for the instrument:
  • xxx-4 for professional level
  • xxx-3 for advanced level
  • xxx-2 for intermediate level
  • xxx-1 for beginner level
• Then finish by adding closing brackets: }}

So, for example, {{Instr|vla-2|sax-1}} would indicate an intermediate violist and a beginner saxophonist.

Creating additional templates

If you find that a template for a certain instrument is missing, you can easily create it yourself. In the following, "XXX" always represents the abbreviation of the instrument for which you want to create a template, and XXXXX represents the full name of the instrument. Please use no capitals in the instrument names or abbreviations.

• If they don't exist, create the main category "Category:User XXXists" with the content

{{user instrument category|
|instrument-code = XXX
|instrument-name = XXXXX
}}

• Create the templates "Template:User XXX-N" where N is 1-4, with the content

{{user instrument
| instrument-code = XXX
| instrument-name = XXXXX
| ist = XXXXXist
| level = N
}}

• Create the categories "Category:User XXXists-N" where N is 1-4, with the content

{{user instrument subcategory
| instrument-code = XXX
| instrument-name = XXXXX
| ist = XXXXXist
| level = N
}}
