AnyDecentMusic?

Since AnyDecentMusic? no longer has an article (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/AnyDecentMusic?), should this template be updated so that it no longer redlinks to it? मल्ल (talk) 04:24, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If the community decide that it's not a notable website, then we should remove it completely from the template. Bluesatellite (talk) 07:35, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bluesatellite: Just because the article is deleted doesn't mean it's not a reliable source; we had a discussion about it back in 2016. Just remove the red link off the template, and that's all. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 22:59, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the website is not listed on WP:RSP, how can we be convinced with that? On other hand, Metacritic is listed there and its realibilty clearly approved by community. Bluesatellite (talk) 23:09, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bluesatellite: What are you talking about? Most editors have agreed it's a reliable source, just because it's not on WP:RSP doesn't mean it's not reliable. TheAmazingPeanuts (talk) 02:52, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not on RSP but it is on RSMUSIC. No reason I'm aware of that it wouldn't be considered reliable, and there is established consensus. Removing the redlink makes sense, but it should still be kept in the template. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 03:59, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like this AfD definitely should've been mentioned on WT:ALBUMS. I didn't even know this article was an issue before it was deleted. Neo Purgatorio (pester!) 16:03, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums § RfC: AnyDecentMusic?

Any input would be appreciated. Οἶδα (talk) 07:35, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question

is there protocol on whether or not to include reviews with no clear grading system, rather writing (mixed), (positive), (negative) etc., all sourced of course? Scientelensia (talk) 22:16, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Firefox-specific bug: star ratings appearing vertically on mobile

This template has an issue in mobile view for Firefox users - star ratings are appearing vertically instead of horizontally. The issue isn't present when using Chrome (141.0.7390.70). Tested in Firefox 146.0.a1 on Android (Firefox Nightly), article in screenshot is Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance. — Hex • talk 12:20, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
