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)

IMO, the information in the About section is entirely redundant to the {{song}} 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. --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. -Heroicraptor 17:02, 22 February 2007 (PST)
