it looks like some edit war has happened over whether or not the template for tracklists should be used in this article, why remove it in the first place? Most popular album pages on the site use the template, what makes this one special? The complexity of the tracklist isn't special, most popular single and EP pages use it. Why remove it at all? -- Frying1mans ( talk) 21:07, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

For some days now I have been unable to load this page beyond "Yorke felt that scepticism of emotion was characteristic of Generation X and that it had informed the band's approach to the album." in the Composition section. The page freezes, and after a while a message pops up saying the page is unresponsive. I wait until I am able to scroll down, and note that it stops at "Yorke felt...". I am unable to edit it, or access any links - it is totally frozen. I can access in Firefox and Edge on my desktop, and in Chrome on my phone. It's just Chrome on my desktop that causes a problem. Anyone else having this problem? SilkTork ( talk) 16:38, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
I believe that the "background" section (more specifically, the part of this section that says, "The singer, Thom Yorke, said "Lucky" shaped the nascent sound and mood of their upcoming record: "'Lucky' was indicative of what we wanted to do. It was like the first mark on the wall") does not need the definite article, and it sugarcoats the sentence in a way that would belong more on the Simple English Wikipedia. I have been repeatedly reverted by User:Popcornfud and have attempted to explain myself to them (on their talk page here), but I have ultimately decided to take the discussion here since I want to see what other editors have to say, rather than contributing to an edit war or other disruptive editing.
So what do you all think? Does the definite article merit inclusion, or should it be removed outright? Discuss below. JeffSpaceman ( talk) 13:38, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
Why is there not a tracklist template on this album? Theobegley2013 ( talk) 01:19, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
I've read this article at various points and noticed that the genres parameter isn't entirely definitive, at least not now. When I first learned of OK Computer five years ago, it had art, alt and prog rock in the parameter. Another point has prog removed. As of this comment post-Britpop is added. I'm concerned this parameter won't remain finalized despite the article's FA status for over a decade, and it feels like a fly that needs to be swatted. Are there any arguments that any of the mentioned four genres are well-sourced and justified? If anything, art and alt rock alone would still be best. Carlinal ( talk) 03:10, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
