Template talk:Infobox poem

message: I saw this was already started. I think keeping it simple is the way to go... Definitely name, author, year of publication, but how about also throwing in "type" and/or "movement"? (i.e. Narrative poem, Romanticism, etc). Maybe # of lines? --Midnightdreary 03:11, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I've added COinS metadata - please test it! Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:30, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  COinS 

message: I've added an  parameter; use the relevant ISO639-2 code e.g. "fr" for French, "de" for German.
I've also added an hCalendar microformat, so please use  for the first publication date. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:56, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Updates 

message: The documentation has 
:|lines               = Number of lines in the poem
but there is no parameter in the template. I think it would be useful as an option, to show a difference between Trees (poem) (12) and Der Busant (1074). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:23, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lines 

message: Two questions:
# Can the template be modified to place the name and author information inside the infobox like most other infoboxes do? Perhaps one like  Example 2.
# Can we get parameters in the template for the following data:
* Written: (date or year range)
* Form: (i.e. Sonnet, Quatrain, Ode...etc)
* Meter: (i.e. iambic pentameter)
* Rhyme scheme: (i.e. abba cddc effe gg)
Thanks for your attention to this request.--ColonelHenry (talk) 12:45, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That should all now be working; the new parameters are , , , , . Do you have an example, where these can be applied? What explanatory articles, if any, should the labels link to? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:25, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Additional parameters and design issue

message: Guys, there is a wikicode formatting error on this template's page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smuckola (talk • contribs) 01:21, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  error 

message: Could someone with knowledge of template documentation formatting please help repair this page which is currently unreadable in my laptop view because of the width of the right-hand box.  Thanks! Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 08:07, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at  and adding a value to  got rid of the long error message. I don't know if it is quite by the book, but I hope this solved your display problems. Sam Sailor 12:06, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Help me 

message: Does the Wikisource parameter require the name parameter in order to work? If so, can this be explained more clearly in the template documentation? I just spent quite a while trying to fix the link in The Wild Swans at Coole (poem) before realising what it needed. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 20:43, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wikisource parameter 

message: Thinking about using this for Homeric Hymns, but doesn't quite fit at the moment. Any chance of:
* An option to change "written" to "composed" (this would be useful for e.g. Iliad too)
* Perhaps an option to change "by" to "attributed to"...?
