Suggestion to change the discography parameter

I think the "Discography" parameter should be changed to "Works", as seen in Template:Infobox person. This will allow users to also include the links for a group's videography and live performances. GustavoCza ( talkcontribs) 22:37, 1 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Default image alt text duplicates caption

This code for this infobox when embedding an image contains |title={{{alt|{{{caption|}}}}}}. When the alt= parameter is empty or missing, this results in the image's ALT text getting set to the text of the caption. ( example) This is an improper ALT text: The alt text is intended to be read out by screen readers just before the caption, so avoid having the same details in both. ( MOS:ALT) This behavior is also unhelpful for sighted readers in that it repeats the caption right below the image. Opencooper ( talk) 16:19, 4 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Suggestion to create the logo parameter above the image parameter

Some bands have logos, such as Kiss, Opeth, etc. This parameter should be made optional. Abhiramakella ( talk) 23:39, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Suggestion to discern between "Occupation" and "Occupations", not always using "Occupation(s)"

The "Infobox person" template has the ability to use the correct singular or plural label when flatlist or hlist is used instead of commas to separate multiple items. There is an added benefit, as "Occupation(s)" is often the longest label in the box, and making it shorter by 2 or 3 characters allows more room for all the text fields in the right portion of the box. Could the code from the Infobox person template be spliced into this one? Chris the speller  yack 16:36, 22 March 2024 (UTC) reply
