Given WP:ITALICS and the way titles of ballets are usually treated, would it be a good idea to italicize all the links to ballets in this template? Maybe it would hamper legibility.

legibility

I think you're concern about legibility is well taken. The typesize in a template is so small that italics would induce instant eyestrain — and the purpose of italicizing is to make titles stand out in the midst of plaintext. — Robert Greer (talk) 18:08, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2011-09-16T18:08:00.000Z","author":"Robertgreer","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Robertgreer-2011-09-16T18:08:00.000Z-legibility","replies":[],"displayName":"Robert Greer"}}-->

Jewels (stagings)

PS I like the way you incorporated List of Jewels stagings into the template! — Robert Greer (talk) 18:12, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2011-09-16T18:12:00.000Z","author":"Robertgreer","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Robertgreer-2011-09-16T18:12:00.000Z-Jewels_(stagings)","replies":[],"displayName":"Robert Greer"}}-->

Yes, I think you're right about the legibility effect of italicizing.

However, if the ballets were sorted by period or similarly divided, italicizing could probably still be made without a marked loss of legibility (cf. eg. Template:Alfred Hitchcock).

This would also generally improve the organization and accessibility of the template. Unfortunately I lack competence about the subject to make the appropriate periodization.

I'm glad you like the way I added the stagings; I think you've done a great job on both the template and the related articles. :-) Shoplifter (talk) 18:47, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2011-09-16T18:47:00.000Z","author":"Shoplifter","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Shoplifter-2011-09-16T18:47:00.000Z-Jewels_(stagings)","replies":[]}}-->

Thank you !

There are so many ballet articles to be written — and so few people writing about ballet on Wiki. — that the template will probably stay the way it is.

Categorizing Balanchine is a lifetime's work — somebody else's lifetime. — Robert Greer (talk) 19:24, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2011-09-16T19:24:00.000Z","author":"Robertgreer","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Robertgreer-2011-09-16T19:24:00.000Z-Jewels_(stagings)","replies":[],"displayName":"Robert Greer"}}-->
