Template talk:Infobox classical composer/Archive 1

Notes for converting Infobox musical artist to use this

Most fields are the same, so it's a fairly easy switch. A few fields are added; a few (agreed upon) are lost. Fields that need to be checked:

Occupation - if it only contains a single value ("Composer") then remove this field from the article. If more than one, then change the field-title to "Occupations".
Era - this field and value can be added - see /doc page for the suggested values to use.
List of works - this field and value can be added

All other fields can be deleted. (specifically: Background, Origin, Instrument, Years_active, Label, URL, Notable_instruments)

Ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Infoboxes (or me) for any future assistance. :) -- Quiddity (talk) 07:48, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Infobox

Anyone mind if I convert this to use the meta template {{infobox}}. This is assuming that there is no significant change to its appearance of course. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:14, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do. I tried at one point, but never got back to it. -- Quiddity (talk) 20:27, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Version in the /sandbox and examples on /testcases. The only real difference seems to be the width, which is 22em. I believe this is the usual "recommended" infobox width. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:01, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Parameters

Can I suggest some simplification of the names of the parameters?

Using all lowercase is easier to type, i.e. "occupations" instead of "Occupations".
"image" might be clearer than "Img".

Makes sense to me --Jubilee ♫clipman 21:18, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
