Improve the bird's eye viewThe entire subject and Wikipedia's coverage of it is intended to be summarized in the Outline of music. It in turn is part of Wikipedia's outline system which is one of Wikipedia's main contents systems. Please look it over and fill-in missing topics. If Wikipedia has an article or article section about those topics, please add links to them. While analyzing the outline, please answer the following questions (and fix the outline as needed):
The overall purpose of the outline is to help readers comprehend the subject by showing what belongs to it, and within the subject what belongs to what. The outline is a taxonomy of the subject, and also serves as a table of contents and navigation aid to browse Wikipedia's articles (and article sections) about the subject. It is also a useful tool for the WikiProject to analyze, plan, develop, and revise music-related material. It is a hub from which to organize related topics. It was built as a "reverse outline", a structural model of an existing work, which in addition to being a summary of the work, can reveal the gaps and other weaknesses for revision purposes. Please help improve it. It's our bird's eye view. Thank you. NoticeboardDiscussion occurs on the WikiProject Music talk page. The noticeboard for music-related news and requests became inactive in 2017. GuidelinesSeveral guidelines have been adopted which are specific to music-related articles. According to WP:GUIDES, "Guidelines are sets of best practices that are supported by consensus. Editors should attempt to follow guidelines, though they are best treated with common sense, and occasional exceptions may apply." Various music projects have developed "guides" and "advice" which are relevant to their areas of interest; however, these may not have been vetted by the community and should be treated accordingly. The following have been identified as WP guidelines (main page followed by shortcut(s)):
