Parameters

ਸੋਧੋ
  • Most fields are optional and the row will simply be omitted if no data is supplied.
  • See WikiProject Musicians for more information about this template.

background

ਸੋਧੋ

Currently only used to track if it's a single person or a group that is required for hCard microformat. Use value person or group_or_band.

honorific_prefix

ਸੋਧੋ

Titles or styles such as "The Right Honourable"

The name of the group or artist ("the act") in plain text only. Logos and other graphics are to be avoided in this field in accordance with WP:ACCESS, WP:FAIR, and in particular WP:LOGO. This field is mandatory.

honorific_suffix

ਸੋਧੋ

Honours such as "CBE", "OBE" (e.g. Cilla Black OBE)

An image of the act, sufficiently clear for display at 220 pixels' width. Set to only the image name (e.g. Example.png) not File:Example.png or [[File:Example.png|200px|abc]].

image_size

ਸੋਧੋ

The image size should only be specified if the image is smaller than 220 pixels width. Enter the width in pixels without "px", for example 150.

image_upright

ਸੋਧੋ

Scales the image thumbnail from its default size by the given factor. Values less than 1 scale the image down (0.9 = 90%) and values greater than 1 scale the image up (1.15 = 115%).

Set to yes when using wide, short images. The image height (rather than width) will be limited to 200 pixels.

Alt text for the image, for visually impaired and other readers who cannot see the image. See WP:ALT.

Caption for the image to be displayed.

native_name

ਸੋਧੋ

This field is only relevant for individuals. The artist's name in their own language. For Chinese-language individuals, use {{Infobox Chinese}} for |module= instead. For Korean-language individuals, use {{Infobox Korean name}} for |module= instead.

native_name_lang

ਸੋਧੋ

This field is only relevant for individuals. ISO 639-2 code ("fre" or "fra" for French). If more than one, use {{lang}} for |native_name= instead

birth_name

ਸੋਧੋ

This field is only relevant for individuals. The person's name at birth, if different

For listing official stage names for the act or solo artist other than the name in the |name= parameter. Also for the solo artist's legal name(s), or other officially authorized names that differ from their birth name. This field is not for nicknames such as "The Godfather of Soul" (James Brown) or "Nippy" (Whitney Houston), which are not the artists' official names.

birth_date

ਸੋਧੋ

This field is only relevant for individuals. The artist's date of birth; it is preferable to use {{Birth date and age}} (for example {{Birth date and age|1949|12|31}}) to display current age. If the artist's age is verified, but the date is not known, then use {{Birth based on age as of date}} (for example {{Birth based on age as of date|63|2012|08|30}}). For dead people, use {{Birth date}} (for example {{Birth date|1949|12|31}}). Also list the place of birth using the birth_place parameter (below).

{{Birth date and age|Year|Month|Day}}

birth_place

ਸੋਧੋ

This field is only relevant for individuals. The artist's place of birth. For "United States" and "United Kingdom", it is preferred that they be abbreviated "U.S." and "UK", but political subdivisions should never be (never "MA" for "Massachusetts", "ON" for "Ontario", etc.). See Notes[1] for details. Do not add a flag icon. (see field "origin" below).

[[City]], State/Province, Country

The town, city etc., from which the group or musician originated (that is, the place where the group was founded, or where the individual performer started their career, should it not match the location of their birth). If the place is not known, specify at least the country. For "United States" and "United Kingdom", it is preferred that they be abbreviated "U.S." and "UK", but political subdivisions should never be (never "MA" for "Massachusetts", "ON" for "Ontario", etc.). See Notes[1] for details. Do not add a flag icon. Omit the country if it does not differ from that specified at the field "birth_place".

[[City]], State/Province, Country

death_date

ਸੋਧੋ

This field is only relevant for individuals. The artist's date of death (same format as birth_date; but use {{Death date and age}}).

death_place

ਸੋਧੋ

This field is only relevant for individuals. The artist's place of death (same format as birth_place). For "United States" and "United Kingdom", it is preferred that they be abbreviated "U.S." and "UK", but political subdivisions should never be (never "MA" for "Massachusetts", "ON" for "Ontario", etc.). See Notes[1] for details. Do not add a flag icon. Omit the country if it does not differ from that specified at the field "birth_place".

The genre or genres of music performed by the act. Aim for generality (e.g. [[Hip hop music|Hip hop]] rather than [[East Coast hip hop]]) and preferably use two to four. Genres should be separated by using commas, {{Flatlist}} or {{Hlist}}.[2] Genres should be wikilinked. Use piped links where needed, for example: [[Pop music|Pop]], [[Rock music|rock]]. Most genres are not proper nouns and should not be capitalized. However, the first word in a list of multiple genres should be capitalized. Genres that are sourced in the article itself do not require a source in the infobox, but sometimes it can be useful to have the source listed again anyway, to help prevent edit warring. A hidden comment such as <!-- genres listed here are sourced in the article text --> can also be used to this end.

occupation

ਸੋਧੋ

This field is only relevant for individuals. Roles the artist has fulfilled (e.g. musician, songwriter, producer). For artists who have participated in forms of entertainment outside of music (such as acting), these occupations can be included if notable. Please observe sentence case and capitalise only the first letter of the first item (e.g. Musician, actor, singer-songwriter). Multiple occupations should be ordered according to importance and separated by commas, {{Flatlist}} or {{Hlist}}.[2]

instrument

ਸੋਧੋ

This field is only relevant for individuals. General class(es) of instrument(s) played by the artist (e.g. guitar or violin). Include singing, rapping, beatboxing or scat singing if relevant. Separate multiple entries by using commas, {{Flatlist}} or {{Hlist}}.[2] Instruments listed in the infobox should be limited to only those that the artist is primarily known for using. The instruments infobox parameter is not intended as a WP:COATRACK for every instrument the subject has ever used.

years_active

ਸੋਧੋ

Period(s) during which the act was or has been active. Only calendar year ranges or a single calendar year should be listed; for example, do not distinguish between the period Paul McCartney was in the Beatles and his solo career. Use commas, {{Flatlist}}, or {{Hlist}}}.[2] to separate non-consecutive periods, and denote ranges with an unspaced en dash (e.g. 1993–2004, 2005–present). See WP:DATE#Longer periods and WP:MOS#En dashes.

The record label or labels to which the act has been signed. Omit parenthetical dates; save that information for the main article as this degree of detail is better discussed in prose. "Records", "Entertainment", "Music" or similar words from the end of any label's name. For example, use [[Universal Records|Universal]] rather than [[Universal Records]]. Separate multiple entries by using commas, {{Flatlist}}, or {{Hlist}}.[2] Start with the oldest first.

current_member_of

ਸੋਧੋ

The groups/bands of which the artist is currently part of. Name of the groups/bands should be separated by using commas, {{Flatlist}}, or {{Hlist}}.[2]

past_member_of

ਸੋਧੋ

The groups/bands of which the artist is previously part of. Name of the groups/bands should be separated by using commas, {{Flatlist}}, or {{Hlist}}.[2]

Groups which have spun off from this group. For example, sub-units. Name of the groups/bands should be separated by using commas, {{Flatlist}}, or {{Hlist}}.[2]

spinoff_of

ਸੋਧੋ

A group from which this group has spun off.

This field is only relevant for individuals. The confirmed spouse(s) of the individual. Names of the spouses should be separated by using commas, {{Flatlist}}, {{Hlist}}, or {{Unbulleted list}}. {{Marriage}} may be used to indicate the date at which the marriage(s) started and ended where known. [2]

This field is only relevant for individuals. As for spouse or spouses, but the confirmed long term unmarried partner(s) of the individual.

current_members

ਸੋਧੋ

This field is only relevant for active groups. Current members of the group, listed in order of joining with no other notation than names. For multiple members joining concurrently (such as the formation of the band), list them according to alphabetical order. Separate multiple entries using * list markup. For example,

| current_members =
* Member 1
* Member 2
* Member 3

past_members

ਸੋਧੋ

This field is only relevant for groups. Past members of the group, listed in order of joining with no other notation than names. If a group is inactive, all members should be listed here, and none in the "current_members" field. If membership of the group has varied over time, it should not be noted here, but may be discussed in the article body. Separate multiple entries using * list markup. For example,

| past_members = 
* Member 1
* Member 2
* Member 3

The single web address for the act's primary official website. Use {{URL}} as {{URL|example.com}} . {{Official URL}} can be used to automatically fetch the web address from Wikidata.

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 As per RfC "Naming countries in infoboxes": When identifying a location, city or region in the United States or United Kingdom, the preferred approach is to use the country abbreviations allowed by , such as "Portsmouth, New Hampshire, U.S." and "Cardiff, Wales, UK", rather than spelling out the full country name. Avoid using abbreviations for states or provinces in all nations. New Hampshire rather than NH, New South Wales rather than NSW, or British Columbia rather than BC (see ). Cities such as New York City and London may be rendered as "New York City, U.S." and "London, UK" or simply "New York City" and "London". Also, these should not be linked when the context makes it clear (see ). If only the country name is included, it may be written out in full.
  2. 2.0 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 2.8 For short horizontal lists of two or three items, comma separators are acceptable, but for longer lists the use of {{Flatlist}} or {{Hlist}} is preferred as they offer a benefit to users of screen readers. Vertical lists should always be implemented by {{Plainlist}} or {{Unbulleted list}} and never by <br /> tags for reasons of accessibility.
