Summary

“ There are works published in volumes where different volumes may have different dates, and we cannot rely on the date appearing on the main page. So just like title and author, sometimes it changes, yet we include the author and title on all subpages, but not the date? Even though they work the same? (3) The title, author, and date are the minimum information needed for a bibliographic citation, so why provide only two of those three? Why force our readers to look elsewhere for the final bit of data? (4) A reader does not always arrive on a page through the primary page for that work. ”

“ There is one top level page per work. The automated/non-curated {{header periodical}} use has been the poke coverall when something is created, as people were forgetting to add them, and we just had unconnected subpages (ugly!) . Once one starts to curate the parent page and add detail, that will be the default. That page should also sit over the top of the all the subpages in the work's hierarchy, not off to one-side on variation of the name. ”

“ I suggest that we, as a wiki, volunteer to be a guinea pig for that (despite not actually being a "medium" wiki; we are classified as "large") so that we can help drive forward the process of getting Scores fixed globally. See phab:T257066 for more detail.
As I understand it, the major risk to us is that particularly big scores might timeout and make it impossible to save affected pages (unless the score is disabled on that page until the extension is fixed) . Note that currently, the score won't show at all if you modify it, so it might not change much for that page anyway.
