I wonder if Mark Knopfler's solo tours and band tours should be included in his solo template, given that they show an entirely different aspect of his work outside Dire Straits. His projects with other musicians have brought out a whole new side to his music and those he has worked with both during Dire Straits, (as with Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan and Nils Lofgren) and later with John McCusker, Emmylou Harris, Sonny Landreth and others really should be addressed. Glance at the template for the Dixie Chicks. They not only have tours listed, but also they have a section in their template titled, Collaborators. Even if MK's solo tours and performances are not covered, there are other musicians who have influenced Knopfler even after his career took off, and with whom Knopfler has collaborated on atage. I suggest some be included here.--Leahtwosaints (talk) 13:29, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oh hell no! The function of a navbox is to navigate and link between the main articles that relate to the subject, not to link to every trivial matter that may be periferally connected. Only an article which substantially refers to Mark Knopfler should be included here. If you want to write individual tour descriptions or perhaps a separate article about his collaborations they would be valid entries. Secondarywaltz (talk) 18:54, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
