Continuation of the IU media Senate Hall about songs.

Vote 1

First vote is for the addition of the "Artist(s)" field for {{IU media}}, which would be placed under the "Illustrator(s)" field. The purpose of it is to give a clearer field for artists responsible in making the songs. Additionally, if the vote passes, I'll also be making a template doc to explain the field in order to avoid potential misuse.

Oppose

Vote 2

Second vote is for the removal of the "Performer(s)" field from the template. If the vote fails or reaches no consensus, I'll be specifying the field to professional performances only (cantina gigs and other on-stage performances) in the template documentation.

Support

1. Looks like an unpopular opinion, but I still personally don't feel the need to list third-party performers in the infobox. Bonzane10 14:26, 4 March 2025 (UTC)

Oppose

1. There's so few cases of bands covering other artists work that feel it's notable when it does happen and wouldn't lead to infobox bloat. Ayrehead02 (talk) 15:41, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
