I don't understand your edit, "nba" and "bc" to the documentation {{Infobox Bach composition}}. The documentation reflects the template, and there are no such parameters in it. If you think they should be, then place to request woujld be the talk page of that template. I don't think it will be successful, though, because many find it too long as it is, and others want to merge it with {{Infobox musical composition}} where specific Bach parameters would have no room. - I am reverting for now, because without matches in the template and the description, it's only confusing, sorry. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:58, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I'm sorry for my clumsiness in editing, it is my first time with infoboxes. It was not my intention to mess with the documentation page, just the template sandbox. I was trying to add more info on common Bach catalogs (the NBA edition volume and the Bach Compendium) that, until now, would only be available on external websites such as www.bach-cantatas.com. It is very Bach-specific but non-trivial information. --Giobrach (talk) 11:15, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for understanding. Please, as said above, make such a request at the template talk, or at Project Classical Music, which may be your friend. Do you think it should be in the articles? For me almost a prerequsite for being in the infobox. Perhaps edit one of them as you think it should be, how about BWV 125? I'll watch. With sources, of course ;) - Nice to meet you! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:21, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nice meeting you too! I will make the request as you say. What do you mean with "Do I think it should be in the articles?"? Do you mean in the body of the article, or specifically in the infobox that is embedded within the article? Then yes and yes. Also, if it's the latter option, do you mean I can edit the infobox in a single page without affecting the other instances of the same infobox? If so, how do I do it practically? (Tried with BWV 19 before and failed miserably.) Sorry again for being so clumsy. --Giobrach (talk) 12:29, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
