Template:Wyoming Sessions

Template:Wyoming Sessions (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Is this really needed? No explanation on what the "Wyoming Sessions" actually are, and better suited as a list/Category rather than a template to be put within the article. ^TOMASTOMAS_TOMAS 🆃🅰🅻🅺 00:57, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The albums are already listed in both the prose and infoboxes of each page which includes the template. I agree that this template is unnecessary. Jimmio78 (talk) 11:28, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I support removing the "Wyoming Sessions" chronology from the infoboxes. The template makes it far easier to see the order of which the albums were released and be able to access their articles. Nice4What (talk) 16:54, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – the Wyoming Sessions are a series of recording sessions that have so far produced critically notable albums from high-profile artists; it is likely that the sessions themselves will soon be its own topic a la the Berlin Trilogy. I think it's important to have some sort of list template gathering the albums produced and presenting them to readers to be able to easily navigate. Tagging Jimmio78 as creator and Nice4What as contributor to the template. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 15:22, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment The Berlin Trilogy template isn't used in spaces other than the article itself (nor there is a infobox addition), and in that case I would approve of the Wyoming Sessions' use. However, at the moment, the template is only used within articles, creating unneeded clutter within the articles.^TOMASTOMAS_TOMAS 🆃🅰🅻🅺 17:47, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – It's a series of five and the template makes it easier to navigate to each album's article. As per @PhilipTerryGraham:, these are "critically notable albums from high-profile artists". Nice4What (talk) 16:53, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If kept, it would seem to better as a bottom of the article navbox than a sidebar. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars^{Talk to me} 02:22, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars: I could absolutely see this as a reasonable compromise between those who want to keep the template and those who want to delete it. The problem people seem to have expressed this far is the apparent clutter the template adds to articles as a sidebar. Repurposing it as a navbox would solve those issues. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 10:18, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support Navbox 100% ^TOMASTOMAS_TOMAS 🆃🅰🅻🅺 14:25, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

delete or change to a navbox. Frietjes (talk) 12:10, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or change to navbox. No reason for this template. Sock (~~tock~~ talk) 14:12, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I turned it into a simple navbox with elements from Template:Navbox musical artist to give it a base to start off with.† MunRis † 14:27, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
