message: Do we just want their festivals on here? Just wondering if we should add H.O.R.D.E. or Farm Aid 1998.--Moeron 02:19, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We'd have to include Bonnaroo, too.  I'm not sold on their inclusion, that template is already kind of big.  We could probably do it like Holdsworth and Daubs, make them 70%.  —  MusicMaker 03:02, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't think they preformed at Bonnaroo or either of the 1990 Woodstocks or even Lallapoloza (I screwed that up bad). I could be very wrong.--Moeron 03:09, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, they didn't perform Bonnaroo, but it's sort of the rightful heir of the Phish festival.  Eh, leave 'em all off.  HORDE is really a Blues Traveler thing and Farm Aid was everybody who was anybody.  They're wikilinked in the article; that's good enough.  —  MusicMaker 03:16, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Gotta be honest, I hate it.  It's... long.  It takes up the entire screen, lengthwise.  And I really don't like the way the lines are broken up, it's a little confusing on the eyes.  (At least, it is for my eyes [which suck].)
Maybe we should make it wider than it was originally -- it would make it shorter, taking up less room on the screen.  Now, it seems gargantuan.

replies: text: No, it's about two inches longer.  I'm not saying you added anything to it; its "volume" remained the same, but making it thinner made it longer.  Taller.  However you want to look at it.  —  MusicMaker 04:40, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Again, length wasn' changed, it is the same, only width changed. It all depends on how you are viewing Wikipedia (which browser, screen settings, ect.)--MOE.RON talk | done | doing 14:47, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

text: I don't think it can.  All of the template tags,  included, center themselves automatically.  I could justify the text within the box, but I don't think that would help.  —  MusicMaker 18:49, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I added a navbar at the bottom of the template.  I can get rid of it if anyone objects.  —  MusicMaker 06:00, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The Giant Country Horns should be moved to the first section, right after The Dude of Life. OR, the Dude should be moved to the Related Content section. Neither were part of the band, but they had similar relationships to Phish. Brainscar 21:06, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: IMO, GCH is more of a related act.  I would say that they weren't AS integral as the Dude.  My reasoning, which might be faulty, is thus: Dude brought creative inspiration, as opposed to GCH which, to some extent, reinterpreted existing material.  Does that make sense?  —  MusicMaker5376 23:42, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I do see what you're saying, but GCH also served (albeit temporarily) as Phish's horn section, thereby becoming part of the band if only for a limited run. They never existed as a group outside of Phish, while the Dude did perform solo many times, and has released at least one, maybe two, albums under his own name. I see the Dude as more of a "friend" of the band who certainly had some influence (see "Skippy the Wonder Mouse") but no more than other guest performers. The Giant Country Horns have never released anything of which I'm aware, and that, in my mind, puts them in more of the role of backing band, and not guest performers, almost like backup singers. Does that make sense? I think this could probably be argued either way. And at first I thought that GCH should be added alongside the Dude of Life, but now (after typing it "out loud") I actually believe that the Dude should be lowered in stature, and moved down next the the Horns. He was not part of the band, and should not be represented as such...in my opinion...but whatever. I won't lose sleep over it. Brainscar 13:01, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at the rest of the "Related Content" section, I would say that GCH sort of sticks out like a sore thumb.  I (and I'm sure many phans would) object to moving Dude down; he was a collaborator.  He definitely had more influence than other guest performers.  He wrote songs!  But I'm rethinking my objection to moving GCH up.  You're right -- being considered "related content" doesn't do them justice.  I'm just wondering if they belong on that third line -- Kuroda, Languodoc, Dude, and Marshall were sort of the "core support" for the band.  Maybe they should be on the line with Daubs and Holdsworth as former members of the band?  Should they have their own line?  (I, personally, would prefer them not to have their own line as it would make the template that much bigger....)  Let me think about this for a little bit, and I'm going to see if I can get some other opinions in the mix....  —  MusicMaker5376 19:46, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  new template 

message: Hey all!
I've made some edits to the Phish template. I've tried to reduced redundancies overall. Made the template more in line with other band templates. Please let me know if there are overt issues with this. I'm somewhat using Xnux the Echidna's edits as my guide post and slightly reverting it back to that.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryneweir01 (talk • contribs) 02:35, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
