@Barbiekool: per MOS:NOFORCELINK, "do not force a reader to use that link to understand the sentence. The text needs to make sense to readers who cannot follow links." This is done by including "Publisher" in the table heading so that readers understand what the information in the parentheses means. The year is already given in the caption.

including "publisher" in the heading is reduntant as most articles put the year there. this, to me, seems very confusing; i personally didn't initially notice that it could mean so. if this has been a more common practice i wouldn't have reverted it, but this is a very sudden change that most articles don't use Barbiekool (talk) 18:12, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok but how does it align with MOS:NOFORCELINK? How is someone supposed to know what ARIA and RIANZ mean? If they are in parentheses, "(ARIA)", and the table heading is in parentheses "(Year)", that is telling readers that ARIA is a year? —it makes no sense. Heartfox (talk) 18:34, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
well, if one is gonna look at the section of "charts", they should likely be familiar with terms such as ARIA; if the person does not, other companies, such as "dutch charts" and "radio and records" could easily lead to knowing that it is a publisher for record charts.
the parentheses for the year and publisher are most likely seperate, as to why any other music article has the year inside. it seems a lot more confusing for someone to put "publisher" in the heading as it's a very sudden move. Barbiekool (talk) 18:44, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Belatedly responding to a request for a third opinion here. There appears to be a clear example at WP:Manual of Style/Record charts#Chart templates that should be followed. If, as suggested in the discussion above, the direction in the MoS is outdated then please consider getting consensus to change the MoS first rather than making this article the vanguard. The repetition of the years in the title and the header, as occurs in this version can be addressed by removing the year ranges from the titles. MOS:NOFORCELINK was cited in the discussion above, but it states: Use a link when appropriate, but as far as possible do not force a reader to use that link to understand the sentence. These aren't sentences; they are columns of data and the fact that it's the publisher is pretty clear in context without explicitly stating. Again though, that seems an argument to have at the MoS page for Chart templates, not here. VQuakr (talk) 00:17, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
