Template talk:WikiProject The Beatles

living
All articles which use living are persons, this means WPBiography is also in their talk page. I suggest we remove support of living from this template. WPBiography can do the job. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:00, 26 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd agree and also suggest removing the musician & arts options for a similar reason. -- WOSlinker (talk) 14:36, 26 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I've added a temporary tracking category to see which articles the banner will need updating on & possible need WPBiography adding. -- WOSlinker (talk) 16:11, 26 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Those options are now gone. -- WOSlinker (talk) 17:41, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Great! Thanks. -- Magioladitis (talk) 00:01, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Image, redux
The current image has had zebra stripes photoshopped out, and a vw bug poorly put in, to get it closer to the original iconic image. WM commons has other free use images, one of which, the first, shows the "abbey" sign, while another shows what is probably beatles related graffiti. I feel like a 'shopped foto is not an ideal image here, id rather see one which is untouched. Does anyone else care much about this?Mercurywoodrose (talk) 03:39, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Request for "imageneeded" parameter
Could someone please add an imageneeded parameter, similar to Template:WikiProject Albums? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 01:05, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

MCSTJR
WP:MCSTJR has changed to "Surnames beginning with Mac or Mc are sorted as they are spelled", so the "listas" example for McCartney listed in the template should be updated to reflect this. Thanks. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 23:29, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Multiple project tagging
According to User:Kaldari, using multiple project tags in one WikiProject template can cause problems for assessments tools, among other things. For example, this template allows one to add album, bio, or songs projects depending on the nature of the article directly into it (album=yes, etc.), and wouldn't have to use the corresponding project template in such articles where this one is used, if tagged accordingly. Kaldari removed such parameters from the Pink Floyd project template saying "that's not how project tagging works. Tagging multiple projects with the same WPBannerMeta template causes problems. For example, none of the tools that rely on PageAssessments will work correctly." If that's the case, this one should be changed to, shouldn't it? That would case a lot of work though because the correct project banner for albums, songs, etc. when then have to be added to the talk pages of articles in which the parameters are removed from the Beatles project banner. Thanks. -- Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 00:50, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
 * ✅. Best projects pick there articles over another project picking articles for them.--Moxy (talk) 05:38, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
 * It looks like you reverted the change. What was the reason? Kaldari (talk) 01:13, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
