Michael Jackson Template‑class | |||||||

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Michael Jackson template. |
|
I just included in the "Related articles" section a link to the episode "Stark Raving Dad" of The Simpsons, where Michael Jackson guest-starred. I think it's important to include that episode in Michael Jackson's template, since even less important things like Thriller (viral video) are included.
This template is huge and needs to be cut down substantially. As it is, when present on Michael Jackson, this simply duplicates a lot of the information already in the article. Also see my comments on Talk:Michael Jackson. android79 04:37, August 23, 2005 (UTC)
On the point of the template being huge, no it's not huge. It's not huge by any standard. Not huge by wikipedia's standard. We have all seen far bigger templates, I don't believe I need to give anyone examples of truly 'huge' templates. Please don't go there!--161.74.11.24 11:48, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
Quote the sentence, which state that images are only allowed in article-space, else put it back. --161.74.11.24 12:03, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
Michael Jackson controversies is a major part of michael jackson. I think it should be included. Skinnyweed 22:38, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
I say split the number one singles into their own template with all of the singles. Superior1 17:41, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Oh fuck it I did it myself.

One of the Jackson 5 tours was just added to the list of concert tours. I don't see any particular reason for this one to be special. Either all the J5 tours should be listed, or none. I think none, since this template seems to focus on his solo career and his life, but don't feel strongly enough either way to revert the edit. GDallimore (Talk) 10:31, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
I've restored the template to the version where the main articles come first, [1] otherwise they are hard to find. I can't understand why Death of Michael Jackson would have been relegated to the "influence on society" section. [2] SlimVirgin talk|contribs 07:18, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
In the related articles section: The link to "Moon Walk" should be changed from Moon Walk (autobiography) to Moonwalk (book). The autobiography link redirects to the book link. Patchy1Talk To Me! 05:03, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
Shoud the michael jackson template be placed on the stark raving dad page? (i have no idea on how to place a template on a page) --TUSWCB (talk) 11:18, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
does anyone know why people keep deleting the Death and 1993 allegations ages from the template? MaJic (talk) 00:19, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
No idea. The same is happening over at Invincible album. he simply died - there is no reason to use words like "demise".
PS: the allegations are still missing right now...
Both guitarists should be included in the MJ template, for they have a decent portion in his music legacy, along with Quincy Jones. Any wikipedian who doesn't agree with this, simply doesn't have much sense of understanding.(LonerXL (talk) 06:16, 5 October 2009 (UTC))
There was an album released in September "The Definitive Collection", from Universal/Motown which needs to be added before This Is It under compilations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.22.48 (talk) 19:02, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
Why is this game not included? He was a playable character. Sarujo (talk) 23:35, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Sorry Sarujo ..i miss understood your edit summary i see that you add the info to the other article...the (lie) thing was that i tough you were saying you fix an old edit for an IP in this temple ..but then just added back rumble thing!!..Again sorry about!!..now about the addition...not sure you will ever get people to agree to it..but i will not revert it any more..mind you ..the article Rumble does not even have one references in it , let alone about MJ..anywas all the best and again sorry for my edit summery!! ..Buzzzsherman (talk) 23:04, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
The rows in the template are spaced out too far apart. Perhaps the row height of every row should be decrease. Otherwise, the template would seem too bulky. Ring me up at my talk page if you want a reply. Regards, ANGCHENRUI Talk♨ 14:44, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
I think Template:The Jackson 5 and this should be merged. Michael and the Jackson 5 are both well known. The Jacksons and Jackson 5 templates should be added as a showable box on this. I'll see if I can work out how to do it and I'll post it here.--79.68.89.251 (talk) 14:15, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Seeing as no-one's replied after a week of posting this, I'm going to implement the changes anyway and if anyone doesn't like it they can drop a line here. And yes, my IP has changed.--85.210.18.79 (talk) 20:32, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
There is only place for 20 groups in the template. And the main ones are already in place. We don't create separate groups for all things. Especially for something that only has two articles. Awardmaniac (talk) 11:36, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
I have applied the changes desired by User:deisenbe (and presented in the sandbox subpage linked above) here: Special:Diff/887860392. --CiaPan (talk) 09:47, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
I deleted references to a sandbox, because the sandbox has been deleted. --CiaPan (talk) 16:42, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
