[edit] Disambiguation

Hi there! I've noticed that the category "medium" in this template links to the disambiguation page "media". I am not versed in template maintenance at all, so I wonder if someone could fix it, perhaps to remove the link altogether or direct it to one of the options in the media disambiguation page such as "broadcast media"? Right now it is causing many comedians to show up on the what links here for the disambiguation page. Thanks!--Xnuala (talk) 02:20, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Belated note: Fixed, per User talk:Xnuala#Re: Template help. -- Ben TALK/HIST 21:51, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Color usage

Is there any way we could start using white text inside darkly hued color bars? Ichormosquito 23:34, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind, fixed. Ichormosquito 07:04, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] awards header colour

i have changed the colour of the awards fields from this to this to match that of the infobox header. however, the default font gets drowned in the darker hue. it would be great if someone could lend a hand. --emerson7 | Talk 15:35, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

The titles of the awards are links so they will always appear as the usual link color. I don't think it is a good idea to change the link color in the mainspace since it is quite standard. I would rather change the background to something else. However if you really must do it you could use something like:
<font color=White>[[Academy Award]]s</font color>
but again I would discourage this in the mainspace. --Kudret abiTalk 01:22, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Parameters need to be standardized

The parameters for this template really need to conform to the standards of other more popular infoboxes such as {{Infobox Person}}. For instance, birth_name should be birthname, and birth_place should be birthplace. Gary King (talk) 19:02, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

I now see that this is intentional. Not sure if that's a good idea or a bad one. Gary King (talk) 19:07, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestions

I'm not even going to atempt to try any of these myself because I really fail to understand the makeup of templates. Anyway, looking at the template I have a few sugestions. Comparing it to the actor infobox:

  • "Notable works and roles" was deleted from the actor infobox a while back as it was deemed POV to negate which of an actor's role are truely notable. I think it should be removed from here as well.
  • I also suggest modelling the awards section on the other template: Having the awards in a collapsible hidden section, specifying that is for awards won only, and centreing all of the awards.
  • Finally, like the actor infobox, perhaps the "death date" section could be changed so that they change the colour of the infobox to show that a person is dead.

I don't know, just some ideas. Gran2 15:29, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
