:I've asked about this before (it was a while ago, so my answer could be wrong), and IIRC, the issue is with loading times/server strain. Same case with Pokémon cries. I agree that it would be useful/important, but it might be more trouble than it's worth. --[[User:Celadonkey|<span style="color:#00A1E9">cela</span><span style="color:#BF004F">donk</span>]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 15:41, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

::Um… why would loading times be affected by adding a single text string to a page? Did you perhaps think I meant adding the actual music files, because if so I believe that's actually not allowed due to copyright reasons, unless the clips are kept very short. Regardless, my request was not to add audio files to the pages, since that's both resource-intensive and more than what would be required, but to add more text to various infoboxes, since the official soundtrack releases have provided the names for basically all music tracks in the games [I will note that UsUm and SwSh do not have official soundtrack releases, which makes me mad, but unofficial names will have to do in those instances]. Also, just to be pre-emptive for this potential issue, in the case of different tracks that share the same name (The track titled "Battle Tower" in Ruby/Sapphire is different from the track of the same name in Emerald (though the Ruby/Sapphire Battle Tower track is used in Emerald, just not for the actual Battle Tower)) the track name can be preceded by the name(s) of the game(s) the track came from and use a Game Superscript to identify the game of use (in the case where different tracks are used in different games). E.G. Fuchsia City's Music: Red/Green - Cerulean City{{sup/1|RGBY}}, Gold/Silver - Celadon City{{sup/2|GSC}}, FireRed/LeafGreen - Cerulean City{{sup/3|FRLG}}, HeartGold/SoulSilver - Fuchsia City{{sup/4|HGSS}}, Let's Go, Pikachu!/Let's Go, Eevee! - Cerulean City{{sup/7|PE}}).

Regions are listed exhaustively, with recent ones missing. And more importantly, the "Pokémon" subsection, for example, details a standard that is not.. the standard: Even the routes mentioned in the "Pokémon" subsection list Pokémon in NDex order rather than what this page says it should be ordered by. Also, project pages are protected, which makes it hard to update. Possible solutions/improvements may include declaring projects outdated per se, or updating and unprotecting them.
