I noticed that this album infobox seems to be the only one to have some parameters be linked, compared to the person infobox, film infobox, TV infobox, or even something like ship career infobox. The links are:
Looking at the article Nirvana (band), the above links never appear in the article body, so I wonder if the linked parameters are vestigial and a little unnecessary if they aren't used in articles. I would like to suggest that we do not need to have these links for the parameters since they are instances of too much generalistic linking. The other infoboxes do not have such links for their parameters. Any objection to removal? Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 21:18, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
Re: the Ed Sheeran albums named for math symbols (+, ×, ÷, =, and −), the article titles are not auto-italicizing. Some technical limitation, perhaps? Just thought I should bring it to your attention. — TARDIS builder✉ ★ 20:21, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
In the chronology header parameter, header13, please replace {{#invoke:String2 | ucfirst |{{{artist|}}}}}
with {{{artist|}}}
as none of the other instances of the artist name being displayed force an uppercase letter, causing artists with lower-case initial letters such as t.A.T.u. to be rendered correctly in all of the template except in the chronology header. UltrasonicMadness (talk) 11:59, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
The documentation states that when the |chronology=
parameter is left blank, the first letter of the artist name is automatically capitalized in the chronology header, so that artists whose names start with the word "the" have proper capitalization throughout the infobox. However, this does not appear to be working properly. I've added the parameter with no value, and in my edit preview, I still see the chronology header using the exact same value as the |artist=
parameter, without the first letter being capitalized. Does anyone know why this is occurring? Y2Kcrazyjoker4 (talk • contributions) 17:44, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
