{{ AllMusic}} has |first= and |last= parameters for named reviewers. My idea may be old ground; but if it is, I unashamedly open it again: I suggest that it should also have a wikilinked |authorlink= parameter. |first=Ron |last=Wynn doesn't help readers as much as would an authorlink to Ron Wynn, which would allow readers to assess the weight to give to him or to any other named AllMusic reviewer.
I trust everyday AllMusic entries as much as I do all self-published sources - i.e. in no way are they WP:RS for notability, but they are often useful for facts like the existence of something or suchlike. However, an AllMusic review signed by someone with a Wiki article begins to look like it could be evidence of notability.
This would be an enhancement to the template, and should therefore have no knock-on (oh no! 100,000 articles need to be updated!) effect. Can of worms opened, comments welcome. Narky Blert ( talk) 00:52, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

I have no suggestions, but I'm stunned that there hasn't been (at least as far as I've been able to see) any talk of AllMusic having revamped their site entirely, and how changes/updates like this will be implemented in Wikipedia. There must be literally tens and perhaps hundreds of thousands of music-related Wikipedia articles utilizing the old and now completely useless template. In other words, almost every music-related article on Wikipedia contains a dead link to AllMusic. I'm not sure how these can be fixed and replaced with the new template. There would have to be an army of WP editors working around the clock for months doing nothing but replacing the old AllMusic templates in articles. Jhw57 ( talk) 11:20, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
{{Allmusic |last=Erlewine |first=Stephen Thomas |class=album |tab=review |id=r16834 |accessdate=27 June 2004 }}
. Clicking on this link (or any AllMusic link in an article) now just takes one to the main AllMusic home page, not the review in question, because the AllMusic identifier/WP id value "r16834" for this particular album has been changed to "mw0000191639" by AllMusic. Because AllMusic has done this for all albums, how does one effect a global change in articles with these now invalid AllMusic tags from "rxxxxx" to "mwxxxxxxxxxx"?

Hello. I just noticed this discussion. I too had seen that there were a lot of old AllMusic links that weren't working any more. I brought this up at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums#AllMusic links, and requested a bot to fix them at Wikipedia:Bot requests#Updating links from album articles to AllMusic. But as noted above, the old links seem to be working again. — Mudwater ( Talk) 07:49, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
I am wondering of the "pure url" field can be set to no. I work on formatting bare urls. When the field is set to yes readers only see a bare url in the references and they will slap one of the many Template:Cleanup bare URLs on the article. But the url isn't actually bare. If the default can be set to no for the field that will save some time and effort in dealing with these. Here is an example of what I am talking about. If not no worries I just thought I would ask.
