[edit] Issues

Before implementing this to any more templates, let's work on these problems:

  1. The table collapses horizontally when [hide] is clicked. Solution: add navbox to the table class.
  2. The lightgrey NavHead doesn't work on the subheadings (e.g. Discography, Related articles) because it is not inside a NavFrame. Possible solutions:
    1. Style it manually using the following. See {{U2}} for sample usage.
      <div style="height:1.8em;font-size:1em;background-color:lightgrey;">'''Discography'''</div>
    2. Create a template for easily doing this, and for maintainance.
    3. Instead of a navbox collapsible table, make the navbox a NavFrame div. An advantage is that the band name will be centered at the top to align with any centered subheadings below. Using collapsible tables, the top heading is a bit off-center to the left.

More content issues not directly related to the template:

  1. In the {{Led Zeppelin}} example, the categories are linked beside the subheadings. I think this is messy, and it is arbitrary how the Discography is associated with the albums category instead of the songs category. Perhaps just one link in Other or Related articles to the main band category, if it exists?
  2. Instead of using a small'd bullet, consider {{·}}, which has a better size bold and non-bold. –Pomte 01:59, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect

{{editprotected}}

This template should be redirected to Template:Navbox Musical artist, since that template has been accepted as the new version of this template. —TigerK 69 06:10, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure that'll work? It looks like the two templates have completely different parameters. 17Drew 06:16, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
It's not being used in any templates since it's depreciated, so I don't think that would be a problem. —TigerK 69 06:27, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Y Done and unprotected for the reasons you've given above. Tra (Talk) 01:59, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
