Good start. 

We have two ways to encode this metadata. Using keywords at the bottom of an entry effectively cross references the pages. 

We can also make a simple "list" of metadata at the bottom of pages. This would be informative but not active as keywords that are clickable. 

Is it feasible to group types of metadata into keywords and general-bibliographic?

Hi, all.

After working through several pages, I've noticed a few issues with our tagging system.  Firstly, I believe date of creation should be scrapped in favor of maybe, decade?  A tag like "1931" for example might lead a reader to a page with only one poem on it.  Thus, this degree of specificity feels harmful.  It's a waste of the reader's time to have them click through to a tag which shows only one thing.

The name of the translator also no longer seems pertinent. There is perhaps some utility for people conducting research about a specific translator, but in the context of the Wiki itself, it feels as though clicking a tag for a specific translator would not lead to too many pages.

Page number in container seems unnecessary.  One would think this would emerge organically within the content of the article when the writer cites something.  And again, it's not going to lead to a multitude of pages.  It is functionally the same as searching for the specific name of a poem, which leads me to my next point.

Title and subtitle of piece are also unnecessary as tags.  The title and content of the page are already going to include this somewhere.
