[edit] edit question

There's an edit here that says this is meant to be used with Template:Song infobox. It's not. That template already had a chronology for album tracklistings. I originally made this template to compensate for the fact that Template:Infobox Single didn't have this function. The new settings of same colour for everything look, quite frankly, stupid. To give an example, One (U2 song) was set to have this box twice. Once for Achtung Baby (a studio album) and once for The Best of 1990-2000 (a compilation). The colours were set for corresponding album types as in WP:ALBUM#Type_and_color but now they're both the same and confusing. I'm going to revert them back to their original purpose. --Thetriangleguy 16:10, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I've changed my mind about editing since i can't find a good place to revert to. Could someone please have a look at it for me? --Thetriangleguy 16:12, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't think it's confusing, It's completely clear and visible....just read...Armando ^{(talk|ImgTalk|contribs)} 17:28, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

This template is used in both Single and Song infoboxes, which use different colors. Therefore, we need to allow for the color to be specified. —taestell 18:54, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

The template is a section of the Song Infobox, hence it makes sense for it to be the same colour as that.--Ashadeofgrey (talk · contribs) 19:06, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

I've alredy change the color. There won't be more confuses. And Ashad, please understand that the Song Infobox alredy has the track listing option. Armando ^{(talk|ImgTalk|contribs)} 19:14, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

The thing is that before you could define the background to what sort of album the track listing was from so it was the same as the colour of the album infobox. Now it is the same colour everytime.--Thetriangleguy 20:47, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Heavily discouraging that this has gone dead but...could someone add a field to this so you can define what type of album the track listing is from (EP, compilation etc.) similar to {{Extra chronology}}? --Reaper X 19:23, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Use?

Does the song/single articles need this IMO I think this template is useless, why do we need to add a template in a single article just to put what the number is it on the CD and what the next song is, while there's a tracklisting in the album article and how about the other songs that don't have an article and this template don't really give much info. And the Infobox is already big no need to complicate it more.--HW-Barnstar PLS 19:01, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
