IMO, the information in the About section is entirely redundant to the <nowiki>{{song}}</nowiki> template, so either use one or the other. Having a big bold '''About''' at the top says nothing as well; the lead paragraph is conventionally an introduction under no subheading. Songs never played live should fall under both [[:Category:NIN Songs]] and [[:Category:NIN Songs Never Played Live]]; if people actually browse [[:Category:NIN Songs]] then they would wonder why a song such as "Leaving Hope" is not in there until they figure out that it is under [[:Category:NIN Songs Never Played Live]]. Well, this all really doesn't matter as long as we manage to compile substantial information on the songs themselves, gather quotes from interviews, technical information, etc. --[[User:Pomte|Pomte]] 16:58, 22 February 2007 (PST)
:You've mostly got a point about the template, but what about song credits? Also, [[:Category:NIN Songs Never Played Live]] is a subset of [[:Category:NIN Songs]], so it automatically is added. -[[User:Heroicraptor|Heroicraptor]] 17:02, 22 February 2007 (PST)

::Song credits could have their own == level section, or be incorporated into the template. Any number of extra fields could be added to the template, but to what extent it is useful is up to you guys. I meant that this article implies songs have to belong in one category or the other, not both, when right now those songs belong to both categories. [[User:Pomte|Pomte]] 17:19, 22 February 2007 (PST)
