Template talk:R from member

Excellent
I may be prejudiced, since I suggested it, but I think this is a potentially very useful tag, and I'm glad to see it implemented. For the description, I might suggest that "group, organization or ensemble" seems a little more clear and general purpose, at least to me. But I won't insist on it. Anyway, good show, thanks. :) Xtifr tälk 22:33, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, of course you're welcome to change it as you see fit. I wasn't sure whether I was being all-inclusive in that description or not, and have no preference for one wording over the other.  Big Nate 37 (T) 08:54, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, on re-reading, I'm not so sure what I think. It may be just fine the way it is.  I'll ponder for a while.  cheers, Xtifr tälk 10:55, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * ...and, after reflection, I changed "band" to "ensemble", because that also covers non-musical troupes (e.g. Second City), but I left "team" in, because that's good. Xtifr tälk 09:57, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Category:Redirects with possibilities?
I think this category should, by definition, be included. Thoughts? --Closedmouth 06:30, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * ...Mmm...maybe? I suspect it would be appropriate in most cases, but I'm not sure it would be appropriate in all cases, so I don't have a strong opinion either way at present.  Xtifr tälk 22:00, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * It is, indirectly (apologies for replying so late, I realize the dates on these comments ;). This template places pages into Category:Redirects from members, which is categorized in Category:Redirects from people, which is in Category:Redirects with possibilities. In my opinion, there's no sense polluting the category heirarchy by placing redirects in two heirarchical levels with a single redirect tag.  Big Nate 37 (T) 18:04, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, I didn't even notice that, thanks. --Closedmouth (talk) 00:15, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Seven years later that remains true. and its siblings in {R from people} ipso facto contain. Those are possible biographies in my interpretation. See Category talk:Redirects from people for more of that, perhaps with debate to follow.

That one of the R from people subcats --, which now contains about 85% of all {R from people} pages-- greatly needs maintenance. Many redirects from impersonal things are there.

Printworthiness
If R from person redirects are marked as printworthy, these should too. Any opinion? 𝟙𝟤𝟯𝟺𝐪𝑤𝒆𝓇𝟷𝟮𝟥𝟜𝓺𝔴𝕖𝖗𝟰 (𝗍𝗮𝘭𝙠) 12:08, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Just so you know, I agree. The category is a subcat of, so it fits.  P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 20:38, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

Include "band" in documentation?
I think it would make sense to include "band" in the documentation here, to make it easier to ctrl-f find it
