Members of bands
Please do not go around to band articles creating wikilinks for the names of every individual member of the band. People who are notable as members of bands do not automatically qualify for their own standalone Wikipedia articles as separate topics from the band — to earn a separate article, the person would also have to attain independent notability for other stuff accomplished outside the band, such as solo albums, so there's no value in always wikilinking the names of people who might never have their own separate article to link to. If and when a person named in the band article does have a standalone biography, then their name can be linked in the band article, but there's no value in leaving their name redlinked in the meantime — and that goes especially for the infoboxes, where are rule is that redlinks are forbidden and people's names may be linked only if their separate article already exists.
