Portal subpages to apply, discuss template first.
Look to a means to create a usable text/template for Wikitionary quotation/citation. Thought would be to have at Index: page, so that it grabs meta data, and would request user input for the word and the page number, noting that want it to point to document in main namespace, not in page environment. Grander plan would be that it then adds it in directly, though let us start with production of wikitext to paste into place.
Create schema and review link templates for Grove's Dictionary of Music

TemplateScript

m:TemplateScript
- enabled: — boolean value, so you can put anything that would fit into an if(...). For example, you could do enabled: isDNB00 && mw.config.get('wgTitle').match(/Chapter \d+/)
- replaceSelection($target, function)

{
name:'wrap with <poem>',
script:function(context){
pathoschild.TemplateScript.replaceSelection(context.$target,function(selected){
return'<poem>'+selected+'</poem>';
});
