I agree that the template as it stands now is really too big and bulky. The only real ways I can see for cutting it down to size are:

Getting rid of the album covers
Getting rid of the less important albums from the list

--Jacj 14:40, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think the template as it is now is fine, giving a clear yet concise overview of Pink Floyd's discography. --Mmatin 17:08, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Two things. I don't think the album images add much to the overall look of the template. They add a lot of clutter. And where's Syd? Surely he deserves an icon? Compared to The Beatles, this template is a mess. -- Longhair | Talk 15:34, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I agree wholeheartedly. This template is far too big and messy, and the only way I can see to clean it up is to remove the album images. As for putting Syd as a tiny link down the bottom, that's just disgraceful. the wub (talk) 08:14, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone here agree with a slim line Beatles style template, including Syd, minus the album images? -- Longhair | Talk 08:27, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Don't include Syd and remove the album images

Keep the template as is

Other suggestions?

What to do with albums

Does anyone else think categorizing "important albums" is not the best thing to do? I think having a full list as it was is too bulky, but promoting certain albums over others seems silly. IanMcGreene 00:13, May 13, 2005 (UTC)

Fair enough. What I've done for the latest iteration is to list all albums but without including their covers. This ensures that no album is promoted over others while keeping the template to a reasonable size. --Jacj 11:08, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
following the consensus and the removal of the album covers, I've added Syd.

What's happened to all the pictures of Syd?

No Syd on the template nor on his page. Is there a reason why they have all been deleted? KrisW6 16:40, 7 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Probably because who ever uploaded them did not provide source and copyright info which is required within 7 days of upload. RedWolf 01:04, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a piture of Syd... I added souce stuff... I think It's good--IAMTHEEGGMAN 22:18, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Questionable use of fair use images

I question the use of the images in the template for the member photos. Currently, all four are "fair use" and therefore I don't think the images can be placed into the template as they end up on any page that uses the template. I think the images could be used on the Pink Floyd and each individual article about the member but not on every album page. RedWolf 01:04, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to modify the Pink Floyd template style even more

Include images of ban members (including Syd)

Don't include Syd and remove the album images

This is not permitted under Wikipedia's policy on "fair use". See Wikipedia:Fair use, in particular the parts about not using non-free images for decoration, and not using non-free images outside of individual articles. --Carnildo 23:37, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oh.... haha.... that's a good reason --IAMTHEEGGMAN 20:44, 26 November 2005 (UTC) Talk[reply]

Keep the template as is

Yet another modification proposal

Normally I would just go ahead and change the template (like I did with the others), but due to the history of this template I thought I would put it to a vote first.
I've been slowly (and sporadically) editing all band-related navigational templates so they conform to some kind of standard style - currently I've done Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, Rush, Nirvana, and Soundgarden; and I hope that eventually all similar templates will look the same. The Pink Floyd template is very similar in content to these other templates, so it would be a perfect candidate for this modification. I've already made the changes and saved them to a page under my user space (User:Plattopus/Pink Floyd), so please check it out and let me know your thoughts.

Normally I'd say good idea... up till the Syd Barrett being at the bottom... surely he deserves to be at the top.... AND WILL SOMEONE TELL ME HOW!!! HOW!!! TO GET A DIFFERENT SIGNATURE... I JUST MADE THE ONE IM USING NOW IAMTHEEGGMAN^talk 23:44, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

huzzah!!! for I have made a new version of it... see User:IAMTHEEGGMAN/Pink Floyd--IAMTHEEGGMAN^talk 23:50, 17 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK I've used your version for the actual template - no one had any objections so I take that as a yes. File:Australia flag large.png plattopus^talk 14:26, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Compilation Albums

Do you think that we should include compilation albums on this template (such as Relics and Works)? I think that this might be a good idea considering that some songs are only officially released on these albums ("Embryo", "Biding My Time", etc.). InTheFlesh? 08:00, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

===>Certainly They are Pink Floyd albums, as well as a Collection of Dance Songs. 134.68.43.192 15:58, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
