"Track list" templates

Is there anyway for parameters to be included so that lists of tracks on an album can be listed in the infobox, rather than using templates such as {{Born in the U.S.A. tracks}} and {{Another Side of Bob Dylan tracks}}. I think I understand the purpose of the templates: to navigate. So when a Navbox doesn't exist, these "track list" templates are used in lieu of a navbox.

But I'm wondering if using parameters would be better. The album has been published so no new songs will be or could be (rightfully) added.Gonejackal (talk) 08:07, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

@Gonejackal: I think the current format is fine (unless they're all replaced by navboxes). If a new article is written it can be linked in the template instead of on all the pages. Jc86035 (talk) Use {{re|Jc86035}}

So why aren't navboxes made in the first place? EPs, LPs, and singles have been published so there shouldn't be addition to the list-of-tracks.Gonejackal (talk) 08:52, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Problem with alt cover art

Jc86035, something strange is happening when we have Infobox single with an alternative cover included – e.g. at My Sweet Lord. Having said that, I've not seen the same result in a couple of other examples, so it's not necessarily a project-wide issue … JG66 (talk) 10:37, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Damn, Jc, that's your genius right there – you make it look so easy(!). Thanks, JG66 (talk) 11:03, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

@JG66: Thanks. This is a problem with Module:Infobox; I've asked for help at WT:Lua. Jc86035 (talk) Use {{re|Jc86035}}
