message: Should Lithium even be listed in this box?  Not only does it redirect to the main Ev article, but I can find no news to support it being the second single (or at least, I've not read anything other than speculation).  -- Huntster T • @ • C 08:31, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Fallen is an album as well as Anywhere but Home and Origin (even though it's a demo), so we must put them on the same line (Albums and EPs). Armando.O (talk|contribs) 18:40, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not necessarily.  It is important to differentiate between those albums you can buy in a regular store or on Amazon (etc), and those that are private releases, and I have modified to reflect this (as well as change the single songs to quotes rather than italics).  -- Huntster T • @ • C 18:03, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Private simply means that it was not released under a record label in stores.  Because those EPs were released at concerts, etc, they were "private releases".  Also, for the time being, lets keep it as-is...if in the future they release other live albums, then we can more carefully define.  There isn't really a need to have a single item in a category.  Eh? -- Huntster T • @ • C 01:44, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I edited the members... I added the section "Guest members" beause actually they're not band members, they're just guest... I think that's the correct way they must be called.. What do u guys think?.. Gerard Armando 07:22, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That looks fine, though I'm not sure it is necessary to make the distinction.  I say leave it.  Also, replying to your bit about regarding Origin, it appears someone changed it from the previous form, which specified "Commercial release" and "Private release".  I'm going to change it back to this form, as it is far more descriptive and technically accurate than the current form. -- Huntster T • @ • C 07:33, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

text: I think the template is fine the way it is (regarding Members).  No reason to clutter it up with different classifications of members.  Just current / former is sufficient. ~ [ Scott M. Howard ]:[ Talk ] ~ 22:01, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

message: A recent software change modified how WP: prefixes are interpreted. As a side effect, templates starting with WP: need to be invoked as Template:WP: to work properly. Therefore, the project template redirect formerly at  has been moved to . Gimmetrow 20:01, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Project template

message: I have reverted a recent change made by IP users which made the template have a 3× nested list.  I have reverted this change for 2 reasons.  1) Navigation templates are meant to be simple.  Having groups of lists within groups of lists could make it confusing to the average user, not to mention the coding mess it makes.  2) Having a separate row for each album and its singles will unnecessarily elongate the template.  The list of singles now becomes 3 rows vs. just 1 (or 2 if you count the row for Studio Albums).  Following this pattern, the template could potentially be much longer vertically than it needs to be as Evanescence releases more albums and will add a lot of "void" space (ie. rows which only have 4 items listed and the rest is blank). ~ [ Scott M. Howard ] ~ [ Talk ]:[ Contribs ] ~ 02:17, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you and the IP user has a valid point. Allowing users to see the singles that were released from an album seems logical, however the nested layout is too complex. Therefore, I have used a method widely used on Wikipedia and moved the singles to a separate template. Kalen 10:12, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The way the template appears now, by listing albums on one line and singles on another line is the standard format.  Including two navboxes in one Template is no appropriate here.  Perhaps once Evanescence has more than just 10 singles under their belt, the singles would be deserving of their own separate template (Evanescence singles) which would only be used on singles articles.  Forcing every Evanescence article to contain the main template along with the singles template defeats the entire purpose and creates even more clutter than the IP's version.  If any further change should be made (at least for accessibility reasons), albums shouldn't be nested into further categories and just have "Studio albums" and "Other albums and EPs". But that's only a suggestion as the Studio/Live/Demo seems to work for now. ~ [ Scott M. Howard ] ~ [ Talk ]:[ Contribs ] ~ 18:53, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Please can someone fix the links to the songs without articles: "Imperfection" and "Hi-Lo"?  They cause 53 articles to link incorrectly to the disambiguation pages Imperfect (disambiguation) and Hi-Lo.  I've already tried several times, and further repetitions might be construed as an edit war.  Thanks, Certes (talk) 01:04, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
