Category talk:Songs based on actual events

More specific title

Should the category title perhaps be a little more specific somehow? "Songs based on actual events" could potentially be a very long list if events in the personal lives of the songwriters are included. I suppose we could add the word "notable", but that would be a bit sad. Any thoughts? Contains Mild Peril (talk) 18:46, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rasputin

I'm not sure how to edit these pages, but Rasputin by Boney M. could be included in this list. 10:27 AM, 11/29/2015

August 7 4:15

August 7 4:15 by Jon Bon Jovie should be here. It's based on the unsolved murder of Katherine Korzilius. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bbonds775 (talk • contribs) 20:42, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bbonds775: Hi. Thank you for the comment. This can be done! August 7, 4:15 is a redirect to the album article Destination Anywhere (Jon Bon Jovi album). It might be more appropriate in the subcategory Category:Songs inspired by deaths.

You can categorize it by editing the actual redirect page, linked here → August 7, 4:15. Add Category:Songs inspired by deaths at the bottom, just below {{R with history}}}}. The entire content should then look like this:

#REDIRECT [[Destination Anywhere (Jon Bon Jovi album)]]

{{R shell|

{{R from song|}}

{{R with history}}}}

[[Category:Songs inspired by deaths]]

Click publish and the title will automatically appear in the category in italics, indicating it's a redirect.

Let me know if you have questions or need assistance. --DB1729^talk 03:15, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
