Forum:Updating Percussion in Terminology Tab

I have recently created several new percussion instrument pages: Vibraphone, Tom-tom, Drum Set and Mallet Percussion. Mallet Percussion can be used to reduce it by 4 entries, eliminating the need for Vibraphone, Xylophone, Marimba, Glockenspiel, and Tubular Bells as they are all contained within it (of course they would still have their own articles, this is just to shorten the length of the list). Drum Set and Tom-toms should also be included in this tab. I don't know whether to have each individual entry (Drum Set, Snare, Tom-toms, Bass Drum, Cymbal) or just have Drum Set since it contains all of these within it.

If it is possible (which I doubt it is), it would be ideal to have another tab under Mallet Percussion and Drum Set to contain their respective instruments.

Additionally, I think the list could be put in a more streamlined order. I propose,
 * Timpani
 * Mallet Percussion
 * Glockenspiel
 * Marimba
 * Tubular Bells
 * Vibraphone
 * Xylophone
 * Drum Set
 * Snare Drum
 * Tom-toms
 * Bass Drum
 * Cymbal
 * Auxiliary Percussion
 * Percussion (Since otherwise, you have to click on the Percussion Instruments category, then go to the Percussion page.)

This is the most standard score order for percussion instruments (there's no defined one, but this is most common).

I'd be interested to hear further input on this topic.

(Also, completely unrelated, but can Bass Guitar be included in the Strings section? Thanks!) Percinnamon (talk) 02:25, July 15, 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much for establishing the new pages and filling them with so much info! I have added in your proposal with the streamlined order, but unfortunately, as you have guessed, it is not possible to have more than a tertiary tab level in the top navigation. I have also added Bass Guitar to the Strings. Thanks for your thoughtful suggestion once again! — Yuji Otsutsuki  11:36, July 16, 2019 (UTC)
