The "Artist" parameter is part of the title ("__ discography"). The description says, "Use an internal link". However, this is a distinct contradiction with MOS:INFOBOX, which says under Consistency between infoboxes in bullet point #4, "It should not contain a link". It's also similar to what it says in MOS:HEADINGS: "Headings should normally not contain links, especially where only part of a heading is linked." -- Musdan77 ( talk) 06:18, 1 February 2015 (UTC)
Using images with this broke at some point in the past. I've recoded the image handling, per the request of someone trying to use this template and getting strange results back, and it should work exactly as intended now. Adam Cuerden ( talk) 19:38, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
This infobox violates multiple style guidelines, including:
All of these problems could be fixed by converting the infobox to a more conventional style like {{ Infobox artist}}. RockMagnetist( talk) 04:57, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
Here is a replacement template: {{
Infobox artist discography2}}. It is designed so that it will work with the same fields as {{
Infobox artist discography}} (it will simply ignore the color and link fields), so the only change necessary in each article is to replace the name of the template replace the code in the latter infobox.

See this template in action at David Bowie discography. It has the additional aesthetic advantage that it doesn't compete visually with the image of the artist. RockMagnetist( talk) 06:00, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
ALT parameter not working edited out for now, I'm not versed enough to apply a fix. Mlpearc ( open channel) 22:42, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
I believe that Soundtrack album should be listed right after Studio album. For most of artists, soundtrack albums were among their primary releases, very much the same importance as the studio album. Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand, Phil Collins and many others have released soundtrack albums of entirely new material. In some cases such as Purple Rain (1984) and Glitter (2001), they were promoted just like studio albums. Meanwhile, live albums and compilation albums usually only compiled the previously released material. Bluesatellite ( talk) 04:44, 29 July 2018 (UTC)
Greetings! There is an ongoing discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Discographies#When are citations needed within the discography?
Your contributions would be highly welcome! Cheers! Jayaguru-Shishya ( talk) 17:08, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
I have cleared the errors in the parameters in the parameters and there are about 20 templates left with the "Remix" parameter filled in: ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Pages using infobox artist discography with unknown parameters. I think it would be useful to have it separately, as too often discographies have this section to keep adding it via "1Option". Solidest ( talk) 20:18, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
As title; |bodystyle=
would allow the whole infobox to be sized and positioned, if needed, without the need for a wrapper e.g. <div>...</div>
. I see no reason it could be a problem; just being polite.

This template should include a short description that is intentionally blank to further reduce the number of pages without a short description. -1ctinus📝 🗨 11:57, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
