message: I have removed  again. first,  is not the same as .  second, the rationale was "merged from Logie (television) award", but Logie Awards of 2013 has no drama serial category.  third, there is already a  and  for single use parameters.  fourth, if it is to be used in 1st Hum Awards, then again it is not needed, since there is no 'top' award, and the fact that Shehr-e-Zaat won three awards is already covered in the infobox.

replies: text: In the UK, at least, for TV and combined TV and film awards, best drama (whether series or serial) is a key award.  parameters are harmful to data granularity and the meaningful extraction of data from infoboxes.

message: Some film awards does not use number of the ceremony, but use the year of occurrence. Like ABC Awards 2014 not 5th ABC Awards. In such case the Next and Last fields does not work. I think this infobox should be modified to handle these cases, by including LastYear and NextYear fields. --SlowPhoton (talk) 15:23, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: no need for new fields, just use  or  or whatever.  I fixed the documentation here. Frietjes (talk) 22:11, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

message: * What does the "Organizer" field represent? I checked to see if maybe the 87th Academy Awards has it but its not used there. Is that supposed to be the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (in the Academy example)? or something else?
* The description for  says "Article describing the award", however  also links to the award article. Is this a link for a page regarding the actual award (item) or a redundant field?
* I've noticed that in the code there are more fields that are listed than in the documentation. Is that on purpose? (the 87th Academy Awards for example has a Pre-show field).
* Regarding the  field, I'm assuming from looking over the Academy Awards pages that it's for pre-show hosts. "Pre-show" by itself isn't a very descriptive title. Can this be changed to Pre-show host(s)?
* "Host" is also only in plural. Can this be changed to "Host(s)"? Gonnym (talk) 21:35, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

Regarding  and , I much prefer the label of the , "Presented by", compared to "Organizer" and also its location in the template (at the top, compared to at the bottom). --Gonnym (talk) 13:48, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure on how many non-BAFTA-related pages this template is used, but the BAFTAs call that award Outstanding British Film. The parameter name, and in particular the label given to it, ought to properly reflect the award's title. If there's cause to have a distinct "Best British Film" parameter for other ceremonies, perhaps a new parameter could be created for Outstanding British Film, for use on BAFTA pages. —Hugh (talk) 03:04, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

message: Looks like two fields, award and award_link, are not working the way they are expected to. Take a look at 1st National Film Awards. The infobox has both the links, however only only award link appears at the bottom panel and not desired link. In this case, award is a disamb page which should be a label and award_link should be a link to the desired page. - Vivvt (Talk) 17:46, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

message: So at the moment the pages for the Golden Globe Awards do not have a template. They use a horrendous hard-coded thing. I was going to make a custom template but seems silly since so much of it will be the same as this template. There are a few things that need to be added though. Just wanted to make sure that there aren't any objections. :-) --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 01:07, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: After looking into this some more, looks like it would need a pretty sizeable refactor due to the fact that the Golden Globes separate out Drama from Comedy/Musical.  as recent contributors... Any thoughts or preference? --Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 01:25, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  If the changes to this template would be "sizeable" it might be better to just make a separate template. Grapesoda22 (✉) 03:15, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

message: I have been modifying some articles relating to the now-defunct Stinkers Bad Movie Awards, but the "Film Awards" infobox hasn't been accommodated, as it displays "Worst Film" as "Best Film", when clearly that wasn't the case of the Stinkers to begin with. After some trial and error, I think I've found the code I would like you to include:
| Stinkers Bad Movie Awards = 
To keep things alphabetical, this section should be placed underneath the code for the "[Golden] Satellite Awards". Please, and thank you! --The-Psychid (talk) 05:21, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks for doing that. Although I'm wondering if the section should be changed to "Worst Picture", as opposed to "Worst Film", to keep things consistent. (I know for certain that for the Golden Raspberry Awards, the top part always says "Worst Picture", as opposed to "Worst Film". Fret not, for this should be the last time I bother you with this little nitpick. --The-Psychid (talk) 01:59, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
