::Famous is surely a word we are supposed to avoid for several reasons; "key" would be better. All the headings in these boxes encourage inaccurate information - especially the "movement" one. I don't think the web-site should be included. Imho, much the most important point is to make it clear that no one is ''obliged'' to use this box, and that very often a work makes a better lead image. It would be good to get clear concensus on that. [[User:Johnbod|Johnbod]] ([[User talk:Johnbod|talk]]) 11:12, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Background color

What is the background color? How is it set? -Wisekwai 17:33, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bug report

Hello. just to let you know, when dates are unknown, this template says "Born" and can't be used. Example here -Susanlesch 00:48, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Would it be possible to add a 'website' parameter to this article for contemporary artists? Videmus Omnia Talk 01:08, 17 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How do you use this template?

How does one actually use this infobox? If one adds {{Infobox Artist}} one does not get any clue as to how to add any parameters to it. DuncanHill (talk) 00:02, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It appears transcluded usage info at Template:Infobox Artist/doc was vandalised. Fixed. Tyrenius (talk) 00:56, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you - that makes much more sense now! DuncanHill (talk) 01:07, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It certainly didn't make much before. I've protected the transcluded documentation page and semi protected this. You might like to watchlist it. Tyrenius (talk) 01:18, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done, and again many thanks. DuncanHill (talk) 01:19, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Default colour

I wonder if someone could have a look at this, as the blue colour of the bar at the top does not appear automatically when the template is pasted as shown in the documentation. Tyrenius (talk) 04:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To get the default blue bar, omit the "| bgcolour = " line. DH85868993 (talk) 07:19, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Famous works

I propose changing this to "key works" or somesuch. Tyrenius (talk) 04:36, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Famous is surely a word we are supposed to avoid for several reasons; "key" would be better. All the headings in these boxes encourage inaccurate information - especially the "movement" one. I don't think the web-site should be included. Imho, much the most important point is to make it clear that no one is obliged to use this box, and that very often a work makes a better lead image. It would be good to get clear concensus on that. Johnbod (talk) 11:12, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
