"IGYEIH" note in track listing

[edit]

The display of the note for the song "IGYEIH" looks odd to me. It appears as "IGYEIH" ([note 1]), with [note 1] serving as a link to a single footnote at the bottom of the "Track listing" section that says "IGYEIH" is an acronym for "I Give You Everything I Have.". This simply looks strange, mostly because of the combination of parentheses with a superscripted footnote link in brackets.

Apparently, the parentheses are automatically added around whatever text is included in the note10 parameter – but if you include the note in the title10 parameter directly, the note would be included as part of the song title, which would be incorrect. It seems like there are a few possible solutions for this:

  1. The information from the footnote could be included directly in the note10 parameter itself, without using Template:Refn – as suggested in this old discussion from the talk page for the Track listing template. That said, it'd need to be reworded, and I'm not sure it'd be a good fit for this field.
  2. The information could simply be moved into the body text somewhere (without a footnote linking to it), e.g. above or below the track listing. This could work, but I don't know of a good/natural way to work it in – especially since the song's not mentioned anywhere in the article outside of the track listing. In order for this to make sense to me, the article would need to have more discussion about that song in particular, and it shouldn't be shoehorned in just to include this information.
  3. The information could simply be excluded. This might make more sense, especially since the song's not notable enough on its own to have a separate article. I'm leaning toward this one at the moment, unless the song becomes notable enough to warrant its own article (at which point it'd make sense to mention it there).

Thoughts? Any objections to simply removing this note? V2Blast (talk) 19:28, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
