[edit] Popularity

"major popularity" must be removed. It is disputable, POV, and depends of time moment. mikka (t) 2 July 2005 17:29 (UTC)

I agree. --Jones5 15:34, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Genre

What exactly are the differences between "derivative genres", "subgenres" and "fusion genres"? --Circeus 04:05, January 2 2006

subgenres are styles of a genre that have become notable enough to have been called a new name in their specific scenes, i.e., heavy metal music > thrash metal, black metal, death metal, etc

derivative genres are styles of music that are related to the parent genre musicologically but are considered seperate or developed enough to be considered parent genres, i.e., rock music > heavy metal music, punk rock, etc

fusion genres are subgenres that fuse the parent genre with other distinct genres/subgenres, i.e., industrial music > industrial metal, industrial rock --MilkMiruku 20:03, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] optionality

Needs to be made so that fields are optional, and not shown if they're not entered.--Urthogie 15:58, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Did that already with hiddenstructure. how/where does it not work? Circeus 16:02, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

On rapcore.--Urthogie 21:03, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Solution is that all variables MUST be listed,with those unused left empty (also makes the job easier if said variables need to be filled later.)Circeus 21:07, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Cool, thanks!--Urthogie 21:14, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] move 'Derivative forms:' down a bit?

might it be an idea to move the 'Derivative forms:' section down to below 'Fusion genres'? i feel subgenres and fusion genres are more notable in relation to a genre article than derivative forms. also, would a better wording not be "Derivative styles:"? --MilkMiruku 20:46, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adding a Tnavbar?

Could we add a view/talk/edit option to the infobox?

<center>{{Tnavbar|{{PAGENAME}}}}</center>

So that we have this on each one:

This box: view • talk • edit

I just think it would make things a lot easier, and it makes it much easier than just editing every template that uses the format individually. 66.229.182.113 10:55, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
