This template has been set up as a result if the discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Classical music starting 16 March 2013. It is intended for symphony orchestras but may also be used for smaller ensembles if necessary. --Kleinzach 03:38, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
- If it's to be used for other ensembles, then a
|type=parameter would be needed. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:37, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
more parameters
I see many orchestras which switched names in history, orchestras which existed only for a certain time, orchestras merged. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:11, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
- I've added a
|disbanded=parameter. Perhaps a|merged_into)) or ((para=successorwould be useful; with a corresponding|constituents=or|predecessor=? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:35, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
This new infobox looks promising, but should not replace infoboxes with additional, useful, parameters, such as those in City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, until it can handle similar detail (with better labels, of course).

Later name
The purpose of |later_name= is unclear. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:38, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
- If different names for one orchestra, earliers names might be of interest, the current (later) name would be the article title, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:47, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
