[edit] Reformatting

I'm about to make a very large reformatting to this template so that it can actually be used. I'll explain the changes here:

  • Firstly, this template needs to be about Jimi Hendrix, not just the Jimi Hendrix Experience. That way, this template can encompass everything.
  • The template will now be based off the Grateful Dead's template because of an excess of information. The categories will be Bands, Personnel, Discography, Songs, and Related articles.
    • Bands Hendrix has been in are at the top, and bands that Hendrix's bandmates have been in without Hendrix are listed below in small text.
    • I put all of the people that have ever been a bandmate of Hendrix there instead of listing all of the bands' members, as that would cause an unnecessary amount of repeating links.
    • The discography is arranged by original, posthumous, and anticipated releases in an attempt to keep those time periods distinct from each other.
    • I wasn't sure how to do the songs, so I just put all of the Hendrix songs with Wikipedia articles down roughly in chronological order. Feel free to reformat them.
    • I didn't know too many related articles, so again feel free to reformat and add related articles.

That's all. Hopefully, Hendrix will get the template he so overwhemingly deserves.

Nice bit of work there. I could see the songs were in some approximation of chronological order, but there are so many that it was kind of unusable, so I've gone ahead and arranged them alphabetically instead. Cgingold 23:07, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
