Why not just modify the template to accept either songs or song as the parameter name? - Kingpin13 (talk) 17:54, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅ with . However, there are still issues to fix with the talk page layout.  Since those issues are not limited to talk pages with WikiProject Jazz, I'm making this request more general.  Thanks!  GoingBatty (talk) 21:34, 17 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I like the idea of generalizing the task to adding the banner shell. I've thought about going through a few of these manually, but ultimately was scared off b/c of the immense workload. AWB, and even a bot, would be tremendously useful for this barring any other problems. Worth a trial, I think, once ready and barring any significant concerns.
