In the genres section, Rap Rock is listed as one, but I believe that Rap Metal should be added to the list as they are mentioned in the Rap Metal page. Also they already have Nu Metal listed so why not Rap Metal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ImPhanty (talk • contribs) 03:27, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

I think that it's fair to add hard rock to Linkin Park's genre, because that is definitely a genre in which the band has dabbled. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AngadBhogal (talk • contribs) 18:26, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
Linkin Park, especially in its early days, definitely has hard rock roots and vibes to it. I think that we should include it here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AngadBhogal (talk • contribs) 19:58, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

The third paragraph of "2015–2017: One More Light and Bennington's death" states that Toni (Chris Cornell's daughter) was Bennington's goddaughter. I can't find any references of any sort to support that statement- rather, all relevant articles related to the tribute state, quote, "Bennington was the godfather to Toni's younger brother, Christopher Nicholas" [Example source, https://time.com/4887615/toni-cornell-chris-cornell-tribute/]. Similarly, I can find general references about Bennington stating a similar association.
I propose the following change: Toni (who was also Bennington's goddaughter) appeared with OneRepublic to perform "Hallelujah" as a tribute to Bennington and her father. --- > Toni appeared with OneRepublic to perform "Hallelujah" as a tribute to Bennington (who was the godfather to her younger brother, Christopher) and her father.

Can occasional keyboards be added to his duties? Initially singularity omega (talk) 10:36, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
Mike Shinoda has just announced that there's no new music and no tours planned for the near future. Should we change "is" to "was" and change the "Years active" back to what it was before? (Remove the (hiatus) part and that's it) Tkgaynor (talk) 04:24, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
Wanted to get a consensus before I even thought of doing anything, so thanks for answering! Tkgaynor (talk) 07:06, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Linkin Park's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 18:54, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

In the third paragraph of the "Legacy and Influence" section, it is said that Linkin Park has third and sixth most timeless songs on Spotify. I think that this is very subjective, and the public playlist that it refers to is simply a random playlist called "The Most Timeless Songs of All Time", uploaded by Jason Kottke, a playlist with only 644 followers. Compare that to more influential playlists with millions of followers, and I would deduce that Mr. Kottke is simply trying to promote his playlist through Wikipedia.
As much as I hate to say it, One More Light as a few songs that are definitely more pop than their earlier stuff. 'Battle Symphony' is one of the songs 82.3.235.223 (talk) 17:50, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
Should "hiatus" be removed from the years active section of the infobox and 2023 be added since they just released "Lost"? GamerKlim9716 (talk) 00:16, 11 February 2023 (UTC)

There should be a change in the "Years Active" section from 1996-2017 to "1996-present (with limited activity)". Since they are slowly re-releasing unheard songs and are making reissues of past albums (Hybrid Theory and Meteora). DPartner432005 (talk) 17:03, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
I just wanted to mention, and there's a good chance I'm wrong, the description of Mike forming the band with Rob and Brad is wrong. I've read elsewhere that Mike and Mark formed it and the others joined on after that, though that might be wrong. I just figured I'd mention that. Vincinel (talk) 02:27, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Remove "Not to be confused with Lincoln Park." Change "1996–2000: early years" to "1996–2000: Early Years". Change "2004–2006: side projects" to "2004–2006: Side Projects". Change "2017–present: hiatus and 20th-anniversary reissues" to "2017–present: Hiatus and 20th-Anniversary Reissues". Change "Musical style and influences" to "Musical Style and Influences". Change "Legacy and influence" to "Legacy and Influence". Kbzamb (talk) 07:39, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Replace images, especially the first one. The picture has to be clear. Replace the picture with one where you can see each band member. Kbzamb (talk) 17:15, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

5.24.101.221 (talk) 17:28, 27 October 2023 (UTC) linkin park are over after chester bennington has died
A former bassist has filed a lawsuit against Mike Shinoda, Joe Hahn, Rob Bourdon, Brad Delson, Machine Shop Records and Warner Bros. Records claiming unpaid royalties for songs that were re-released on the Hybrid Theory 20 Year box set. 75.90.152.222 (talk) 18:36, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
It has been six years since Linkin Park has released music, and frontman Mike Shinoda has stated that they have no plans to reunite or release more music. At what point should the band’s fate be switched from the present to the past tense? SaltieChips (talk) 02:20, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
