[edit] Albums template
This template is based on the former Template:The Rolling Stones but excludes everything except albums. As it is rather big, I suggest it be used only on the albums pages themselves. ProhibitOnions 19:53, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- But this has exactly the same problem as the old template - it's ridiculously big. Except now the album articles will have two templates at the bottom instead of one. I don't see the need for this when we've already got category:The Rolling Stones albums and The Rolling Stones discography. Flowerparty■ 03:50, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

- The category doesn't show the year or tell what kind of album it is, and it isn't displayed on the same page. I've made this smaller by trimming a few things and getting rid of some line breaks that were in there needlessly. The real "problem" is that the Stones have been recording for a long time, but that makes the template more useful. But better to restrict it to just the album pages where it can be used for navigation. Regards, ProhibitOnions 20:28, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
I still don't like this template. Would you object to merging the main albums back in with {{The Rolling Stones}} (in the current style of {{the Beatles}}). Either way, I feel one template is better than two. Flowerparty☀ 00:44, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- The only problem is the larger number of Stones albums. If we merged the two and put the albums under a hide/show section, that might be the best solution. Whaddya think? ProhibitOnions (T) 22:03, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
I think the albums should be integrated to main infobox similarly as it is with Beach Boys and Beatles (who both have also rather large discographies). The studio albums should be a part of the main infobox, the lives, compilations etc. should have their own.
