Syntax Question
I'm new to wikipedia...
I want to link The Question, the album, not the superhero. What's the syntax for this?
Thanks!
- In the case of The Slackers, pretty much all of the albums are under the syntax "Album Name (album)", so in your case, you would use...
[[The Question (album)|The Question]]
...to link to the album itself, as opposed to the superhero.
Merge requests
I have put merge requests against all the album pages. The alternative would seem to have a separate discography page (see The Beatles and The Beatles discography for examples. Having them all separate makes it a real pain to find with no real benefitVelela 20:55, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
- Against - neither option should happen. Album or track info in mass is ugly. Here's what they need:
- Album Infoboxes - For quick, standardized reference. These include album covers, creation & street dates, production credits, ect. on a per-album basis. There is also a chronrlogy for linear navigation between albums. (see WP:ALBUMS, for examples: Destroy What Destroys You, Live in Minneapolis, As You Were, A Place I've Never Been)
- Navigation Template - for navigation from any album to any other; these are useful for discographies this large. (Example: The Tick Tock Treasury)
- Album credits section, per album - This information comes from the liner notes. Who did the artwork? did anyone other than just the band contribute?
- Example of using all 3 elements: 1956 (Soul-Junk Album)

I agree with Dan the Cow Man, that efforts should be made to complete the information held on the album pages fitting with the WP:ALBUMS way of working. I've started adding the Album info box to the Slackers albums but i need help with the info (Boy monkey 13:11, 22 February 2006 (UTC))
- Yeah I've added a bunch of stuff to the album infobox things, just adding an infobox to The Slackers now... Also, I've added links in the 'chronology' part at the bottom of the infobox.
- Now added a better (im my opinion) discography section on the main Slackers page, with cover thumbnails, etc. All linked, of course. Stole the idea from the Rancid article. Pembo 04:07, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
- The visual Discography looks nice. I've added a navigation box template to the albums. I think i'll concentrate on updating the album infoboxes (Boy monkey 14:53, 2 March 2006 (UTC))
- I like the nav box. Good work! Pembo 07:43, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

POV-check
This article basically pimps the band. "...most notable band...", "...become a staple member of the worldwide ska scene...", "...consistently better and more diverse music...".
