Discussion

Why not just modify the template to accept either songs or song as the parameter name? - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 17:54, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

 Done with this edit. However, there are still issues to fix with the talk page layout. Since those issues are not limited to talk pages with {{WikiProject Jazz}}, I'm making this request more general. Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 21:34, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

• I like the idea of generalizing the task to adding the banner shell. I've thought about going through a few of these manually, but ultimately was scared off b/c of the immense workload. AWB, and even a bot, would be tremendously useful for this barring any other problems. Worth a trial, I think, once ready and barring any significant concerns.
