== MediaWiki variables for current stable and unstable LilyPond versions ==

Jean,

what do you think about adding [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Variable MediaWiki variables] that indicate the current stable and unstable LilyPond versions (without the ‘micro’ value)? I suggest

<nowiki>{{LILYSTABLE}}</nowiki> → 2.24

<nowiki>{{LILYDEVEL}}</nowiki> → 2.25

and maybe

<nowiki>{{LILYSTABLEDOC}} → https://lilypond.org/docs/{{LILYSTABLE}}/Documentation</nowiki>

<nowiki>{{LILYDEVELDOC}} → https://lilypond.org/docs/{{LILYDEVEL}}/Documentation</nowiki>

Such variables would reduce maintainance of yet-to-be-written templates. In particular, I would like to add <code><nowiki>Template:convert-ly</nowiki></code>: it would tell users that the snippet in question needs conversion with <code>convert-ly</code> (showing a link to the documentation) for newer versions. -- [[User:Lemzwerg|Lemzwerg]] ([[User talk:Lemzwerg|talk]]) 05:46, 28 December 2025 (UTC)
