Hey, is there any way that this could be made smaller? It is really too big for album articles and makes the whole bottom really cluttered. gren グレン 01:03, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
If Darryl Jones is there, why not
Chuck Leavell? He's been playing with the band for 25 years.

can we add Ian McLagan to the notable sidemen, please? he belongs there more than Don Was, i feel. Lisa Fischer, Bernard Fowler and Blondie Chaplin too, for that matter.

I've made a template, Template:Rolling Stones albums based on the content removed from this, which we can use on album pages (where it was pretty useful) without cluttering other Stones-related pages. Have a look. ProhibitOnions 19:55, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
i don't get why the bootleg Brussels Affair is listed as a "miscellaneous album" alongside an official release (Jamming with Edward), and i vote for removing it. to me calling it an "unreleased live album" is inaccurate; the Stones did want to release a concert album from the 72 tour, but if there's any evidence that they ever thought about releasing the bootleg circulating as Brussels Affair i've never heard/read about it. moreover, Brussels Affair is only one of many titles that concert bootleg circulates under; plus which, there are lots of other famous/widely circulating Stones bootlegs, and since they're not listed, why is this one??
is there already a wiki article on or list of Rolling Stones bootlegs? to me that would be more appropriate than mysteriously listing this one bootleg in the template. share your thoughts? Sssoul ( talk) 10:40, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
I think that the tours deserve placement on the template before the films/videos. The articles are more complete and there seems to be more relevance to their inclusion then a loose collection of Stones releases. Stan weller ( talk) 00:56, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
There are several ways to deal with the size: we can use collapsible sections (which is the standard approach to large navboxes), trim the content, or split this into several navboxes. The current situation, however, is unworkable. SilkTork * YES! 15:49, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
I went to Johnny Cash and noticed that it had been changed from a collapsable box to a standard box by WikiProject Musicians. I am now in the process of leaving them a note to let them know they should be using collapsible sections. It seems ironic that one of the templates that is used as an example of how to deal with unweildy nav boxes has been converted by them back into an unweildy one! SilkTork * YES! 19:10, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
Here's one template I worked on which handles quite a lot of data: Template:Alcoholic beverages - and this is how it used to be. If put into collapsible sections, more data can be handled and presented in a form that the reader can digest - also pictures can be introduced as space is saved. Using collapsible we can contain all the present data, plus the singles! SilkTork * YES! 19:41, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
Here is a way that navboxes can be collected together without taking up too much band width (allowing a page to load more quickly) -
The main The Rolling Stones template can be split into a Rolling Stones albums template (to be used on all RS albums pages) as well as a related articles template - the tours, films and related people (which would be used on related articles) - or it could be kept as one, with collapsible sections. As I say, there are various ways of dealing with the template in order to make it more user friendly, and at the same time make it more flexible, AND carry more data, such as including the singles. SilkTork * YES! 11:57, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
I put the Videography in the main template, and also created a Videography section in The Rolling Stones discography. SilkTork * YES! 22:19, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
The template is otherwise ok but it is too wide. Of what I remember these are usually wrapped so that you don't need to be scrolling vertically. But in this you have to. 85.217.22.47 ( talk) 00:33, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
I'd like to add Ollie E. Brown (percussionist on Black and Blue, Love You Live and 1975 Tour of the Americas) to the "Collaborators" section of the template. Any objections? 28bytes ( talk) 06:40, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
