647:, I have no preference on which of the two to use. I guess go with the majority, make an independent decision, or flip a coin. In terms of (2), I agree on "Music by country". (3) I would just add it as a link to the Music template (on either "Related topics" or maybe "Lists"); so what if that's unusual -- we are meant to break all rules and be bold. I think the "Music by country" is more useful than the "Cultural and regional genres" thing that's already there, which is why I personally think it deserves a placement on the template. Putting it on the template as a link would obviate the need to personally start adding it to appropriate articles. Anyway, just my thoughts. PS: I don't really understand the collapsible subtemplate thing, but if it would always stay collapsed unless clicked then that actually sounds good. 81: 22: 53: 816:
we avoid that? Also, I'd like to revisit Moxy's point that categories should not be linked on a navbox. It does seem rather odd to have them on the navbox; also, now that we've got the "by country" subtemplate, that makes the categories redundant (because the categories are lists of music articles by country). Perhaps if we are adding the "by country" subtemplate, we should delete the categories, but leave the links to the
71: 957:"Impressionism in music" was perhaps a 50 year "movement", not era – which both Debussy and Ravel denied even being part of. It is not significant when compared to its "counterpart" in painting and to the other Western Classical movements: Medieval (900 years), Renaissance (200 years), Baroque (~300 years), Classical (~80 years) Romantic (~110 years) etc. 883:
I dunno, I'm not opposed to ditching the idea of including it on the Music template -- in other words, reverting the main template to how it was a few weeks ago. In fact, that's what I vote. I have a mind to insert the new, separate "by country" template on a couple of articles myself, just to get it

Thanks. Yes, I'll mark that page for deletion once it seems the conversation and consensus is complete. I do have a couple of questions for everyone though: Adding the subtemplate seems to mean that the Music navbox itself always stays collapsed on a page unless clicked. Is that what we want? How can

would expand it to it former large size, a link would be an unusual thing to do.

The most meaningful option, in my opinion, is to

Does anyone think that adding every country in the world that has a Wiki music article onto this template is making it too large?

884:"out there", and then people can decide from there wherever else they want to place it (if at all). I think it's a nice thing to have on hand, but not imperative, and certainly not imperative on the Music template. I think the linked categories will cover the material on the main template, for now. 846:
and the embedded {{Tl:World topic}}. The elements other than "By country" could be forced to always display uncollapsed, but that won't be in keeping with template custom when there really are additional templates in an article. I will think about this until tomorrow, but I'm not hopeful there's a

My opinion is that's pretty cool. The only thing I don't like is the word "topics" added to the template title. My reasons are: (1) It looks ugly to have one word linked in a title and the other not; (2) This isn't really a list of music topics, and the template leaves out most of the actual

Oh bugger. As always, there are unintended consequences; this was not obvious in the testbed. When placed in an article, the template will always "autocollapse" because there are now always 2 templates wherever it appears:

150 items; adding Impressionism doesn't seem to me a big deal. As for "importance": it's widely covered in encyclopedias and scholarly literature, so it doesn't seem undue to include it here. --

Great, thanks very much for doing all of that. I guess you can make it live, or add the subtemplate like that to the live Music template, at will, unless there is objection to that.
