groups — links: this page, its page

• new feature! groups are collections of fan albums, organized under a dedicated page for an external group or project.
• groups exist in three categories: HSMusic, Fan-musician groups, and Projects beyond Homestuck
  • HSMusic: overall structure for the wiki, containing Official Discography and Fandom, into which nearly all albums are categorized
  • Fan-musician groups: collaborative groups of fan-musicians releasing music under a single name, e.g. Casual Sunday and Unofficial MSPA Fans
  • Projects beyond Homestuck: groups centered around a particular work, usually inspired by Homestuck, e.g. UNDERTALE & DELTARUNE and Oceanfalls
• groups each have two "tabs" or views: Info and Gallery
  • Info: this displays the full description for a group, and then a chronological list of albums (and their years of release)
  • Gallery: replacing the previously dedicated pages for official and fandom albums, this displays a list of albums organized with their latest first, and has a short info line summarizing stats about the group
• miniature group "infoboxes" are displayed on the right side of album and track pages
  • this design (alongside much of this update's layout changes) is inspired by the site layout of Bandcamp
  • contains a short catchline introducing the group, links to visit the external homes of the group (e.g. its own Bandcamp or project links), and chronology links to navigate the previous and next albums within the group
  • displayed at the bottom of the page in compact layout (e.g. when on a mobile device)
