Dubious edits

Do the doc edits by Shannonrichmond and Smithr32 make any sense? For example, (1) Why are "love world tour", "bannna girl", "16 in north america 6 in asia", and "_empty_" listed as parameters? (2) How is it useful to remove the examples for Orchestral concerts and Concert tour, leaving certain parameters without an example of their usage? Frietjes? Pigsonthewing? Bueller? Anyone? ―Mandruss ☎ 21:42, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think I repaired most of the damage. thank you. Frietjes (talk) 23:55, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

RfC

To those who use this template, am hoping you see this. Am hoping you could come be involved in a discussion at Talk:Sweetener World Tour#Issues with article; I've also opened a RfC to hopefully involve additional editors to the discussion, which may eventually need to be had here. livelikemusic talk! 16:31, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

RfC on naming countries in infoboxes

A RfC which may affect this infobox's |location= parameter has been opened at WT:WikiProject Music#Naming countries in infoboxes. Please add your comments there. —Ojorojo (talk) 17:18, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Spacing issue?

How come when an entry for | next_concert = and/or | next_tour = is missing the alignment of the last and this for each template changes? Is there something within the source code on this template that is causing it? livelikemusic (TALK!) 14:19, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was just about to ask the same thing. I noticed how awful the chronology on Here We Go Again Tour looks. — Status (talk · contribs) 21:25, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Chronology

I purpose that we update the chronology to be similar to that of Template:Infobox album. And by that I mean instead of:

last_tour
this_tour
next_tour

We would have:

prev_tour
prev_year
year (and the title will be added automatically, like it is on the album infobox, but the year is required since tours can span multiple different years)
next_tour
next_year

Support Consistency between frequently used music-related infoboxes makes it easier for new editors to use and to meet WP:ACCESS. It would also be helpful to add class=hlist or plainlist for parameters that may include several entries, such as |location=. —Ojorojo (talk) 16:05, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I personally would just get rid of the chronology parameter entirely when it doesn't tend to be very relevant which tours came right after or before something, and even in cases where it is important, such detail is better for article prose. In fact, I'd also get rid of it for albums and songs for similar reasons. WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE says that infoboxes are supposed to "summarize (and not supplant) key facts that appear in the article (an article should remain complete with its summary infobox ignored)".

Support, per Ojorojo. Whether chronology is useful or not, at least for now we need to make it consistent with the albums/singles infoboxes. Bluesatellite (talk) 23:49, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Number of shows categorized

For the most part of my time on Wikipedia, and before I officially joined as a user I’ve always noticed on majority of all concert pages the number of shows are divided by the number of countries visited on the tour (Example: 15 in North America, 5 in Europe, 20 in total) but I’ve now recently noticed some users will revert or remove it to only allow the total number, (20). I am well aware of the fact the template states “the total number of shows on the entire tour” but I don’t really see a problem with dividing it up into the number of shows visited per country, obviously the total number is always included. The template should be as specific and clear as possible. It also saves time from counting the tour dates of each show in each country that was visited. If there are any other users who feel they could get on board with this or if you disagree with me please feel free to chime in and tell your thoughts. I again, don’t see no harm in having it divided into the number of shows per country visited just as long as the total amount is also included but for the most part it always is.

Italics

shouldnt the "album" parameter automatically italicise album names, instead of doing it manually every time (eg here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sonic_Boom_Over_Europe_Tour&action=edit ) --FMSky (talk) 09:48, 27 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Italics in "concert_name" parameter causing line breaks

Currently, if you apply italics to a sub-set of the words in the "concert_name" parameter, it causes line breaks on mobile devices at the point where the italics start and end. Any idea why that is and how it can be fixed? Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 15:02, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What about broadcasted concerts?

What about broadcasted concerts? In other words, the networks that broadcasted the live concert? Abhiramakella (talk) 15:23, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Concert name shouldn't be italicized

The Beatles' rooftop concert is italicized for some reason, and I can't get rid of the italics. There's no italicization in the article-lead code that I can see, or in the template code. Can anyone help? All the best, Miniapolis 17:25, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Came here while looking to resolve the exact same issue. On looking into it, it's because the article uses {{Infobox album}}, which defaults to an italicised article title. italic_title=no should override it and I'll do that now. MIDI (talk) 14:23, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much; I forgot about the album infobox further down the page. All the best, Miniapolis 16:54, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Elipsis in next_concert/next_tour

The recommendation to use ellipsis or "N/A" in the "next_concert"/"next_tour" parameter isn't consistent with other similar chronology infoboxes like Template:Infobox song or Template:Infobox album
the artist or organization's next concert, followed by a <br /> and the concert's year in parenthesis (type ... if a future tour may occur; type N/A if there will be no future tour)
Common usage on those similar infoboxes is to just leave the "next" and "previous" in the chronology empty if there is nothing to put there, with no need to put in placeholders.

Should it be consistent here as well? I don't think anything is gained by having it be filled with ellipsis or putting "N/A" when just leaving it blank is consistent the with others and works just fine. Filling it in just seems like we're putting something there for the sake of not leaving it empty. RachelTensions (talk) 08:50, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
