:I've been wondering the same thing. I think it makes sense to have a promo section. There should be enough items to warrant it. Also, a related issue -- we really need to decide a naming convention for promos and singles before things get out of hand. For the most part, I've been avoiding them on the song pages, but it's getting to a point where it's hard to work around them. I've been thinking about them in the same manner as we've been naming bootlegs -- that is, <nowiki>[[Promo: Live At New York Town Hall]]</nowiki> and <nowiki>[[Single: Pump It Up]]</nowiki>, for example, just to try to keep some consistency, but I don't want to run with that without approval. I'm happy to go along with any convention that we can agree on, but we really need to figure something out and get it into the Style Guide. [[User:CraigM|CraigM]] 21:29, 18 May 2006 (CDT) | |||

Discography layout ideas
While the discography section is developed, we can get ideas for layout and content from some of the better discographies at Wikipedia
- Nice organization on this one -- has sections for studio albums, live albums, compilations and other, and singles by decade.
- Nice illustrated layout.
- Another illustrated layout.
- Table layout.
Remove "Light" Album Discography
JohnE 20:18, 23 March 2006 (CST): This is contained in the Graphical discography.
- JohnE 13:30, 26 March 2006 (CST) Done by JohnH.
Best of albums
The various Best Of's need to be added somewhere. Thoughts on where? - JohnE 00:39, 3 April 2006 (CDT)
- What about a section in the Discography called Compilations? Or Collections?
- You mean just like on the EC Home Page? Why didn't I think of that? Sounds good to me, though. - JohnE 01:31, 3 April 2006 (CDT)
Text discography not only Album
The Text Discography is intended to contain all Albums, Singles, Compilations, indeed ALL of the releases containing any recording by EC. It would seem that it should not be located under the Albums heading. Not sure what is should be under though. Any ideas? - JohnE 17:06, 21 April 2006 (CDT)
Promos section?
Should there be a separate section in the Discography for Promos to cover things like the original Canadian release of Live At The El Mocambo, and Live At New York Town Hall, and others... -- JohnH 21:00, 18 May 2006 (CDT)
