Can we have a parameter 'full_title'? E.g Rienzi's full title is Rienzi, der Letzte der Tribunen. But there is no option for this in the present template. 'native_title' (see e.g. Tannhäuser) or 'other_name' won't really do in these circumstances; both are rather misleading if an infobox is supposed to give an accurate summary.-- Smerus ( talk) 12:54, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
For operas with no known performances (such as those by
Henrique Oswald) or where the premiere was a long time after their composition, this template needs a |composition date=
parameter.

Under the entry for |based_on=
, I changed "Use this to list the literary work on which the libretto was based (if any)"
to "Use this to state the literary work or other subject on which..."
(emphasis added for clarity), to reflect actual usage.
I reiterate: template documentation should reflect actual usage, not attempt to proscribe a usage for which actual practice demonstrates consensus.
I was reverted, with the edit summary "restore". My change should be re-implemented, for the reason given. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:16, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
In the light of the above discussion, I've restored my wording. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:34, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
User:Zackmann08 recently added a check for unknown parameters. Thank you. This populated the Category:Pages using infobox opera with unknown parameters, but I'm baffled by the order of entries in that category. It's a minor nit pick and doesn't need to be fixed – it just seems inexplicable. -- Michael Bednarek ( talk) 04:28, 26 January 2023 (UTC)
