Welcome and thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox instead. Thank you. '' The article infobox is just not a good place for that information. Also, the Extra tracklisting is probably the wrong template for use as a general succession box. /'' edg ☺ ☭ 12:20, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comment. I don't think that a succession box is the right template, since this is not a list which changes over time. Maybe you have a better idea. Do you think I shouldn't add this info at all? Dvirtz (talk) 17:29, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Templating The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time

 * Thanks for soliciting my opinion. There seems to be little support for adding awards and such to infoboxes:
 * Infobox Musical artist
 * And templates for awards of the "magazine's top ten list" type tend to be deleted:
 * Down Beat Jazz Hall of Fame inductees
 * I don't have a strong opinion in the matter, but it seems the general preference is to not have awards templated at all, but rather mentioned in the article body text where appropriate, and omitted when such mention gives undue weight to the award. If a template like this is to gain acceptance, it needs to be less intrusive. Putting the 500 Greatest list in the article infobox is the most intrusive possible placement, suggesting that Rolling Stone's perspective on a record is as essential an element as the release date&mdash;even I consider that undue weight.


 * If you still want to try this, my suggestion would be a collapsible box placed much lower in the article, the way Léonie Sonning Music Prize laureates is placed at the bottom of Miles Davis. However, it might be a good idea to seek feedback on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Songs before putting much work into this. / edg ☺ ☭ 17:00, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
