Fields
[మార్చు]- Remove the fields that are not needed.
- Never link years, unless accompanied by dates.
- 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.
Name
[మార్చు]The name of the group or artist ("the act"). This field is mandatory.
Img
[మార్చు]An image of the act, sufficiently clear for display at 220 pixels' width. Set to only the image name, e.g. Example.png, not Image:Example.png or [[Image:Example.png|200px|abc]].
Img_capt
[మార్చు]Caption for the image to be displayed.
Img_size
[మార్చు]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.
Landscape
[మార్చు]Set to yes when using wide, short images. The image height (rather than width) will be limited to 200 pixels.
Background
[మార్చు]The musical artist should be placed into one of seven categories by using one of the codes below in the Background field. Each category is color-coded to provide a quick indication of the type of group/performer, e.g. solo artist, orchestra, etc. The color scheme is similar to the one used by WikiProject Albums and other projects. Please discuss additional types that need to be accounted for on the template's talk page. This field is mandatory.
మూస:Infobox Musical artist/doc/type
Birth_name
[మార్చు]This field is only relevant for individuals. The artist's name at birth.
Alias
[మార్చు]For listing official stage names for the act; also for solo artists who change their birth name. This field is not for nicknames such as The Godfather of Soul (James Brown) or Nippy (Whitney Houston).
Born
[మార్చు]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. For dead people, use {{birth date}} (for example {{birth date|1949|12|31}}. Also list the place of birth, if it differs from the artist's hometown (see field "Origin" below). Omit the country if it does not differ from that specified at the field "Origin".
{{birth date and age|Year|Month|Day}}<br>[[City]], [[State/Province]], [[Country]]
Died
[మార్చు]This field is only relevant for individuals. The artist's date and place of death (same format as birth; but use {{death date and age}}).
Origin
[మార్చు]The city from which the singer or group originated (that is, the city where the group was founded; or the city where individual performers started their career, should it not match the location of their birth). If the city is not known, specify at least the country. Note: as for "Born" and "Died", there is no need to additionally place a {{flagicon}} to represent the nationality.
[[City]], [[State/Province]], [[Country]]
Instrument
[మార్చు]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]] and/or [[scat singing]] if relevant.
Voice_type
[మార్చు]This field is only relevant for individuals. This may be used for singers in lieu of the "Instrument" field. See voice type for a list of types.
Genre
[మార్చు]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]]).
Occupation
[మార్చు]This field is only relevant for individuals. Roles the artist has fulfilled (e.g. musician, songwriter, producer, etc). For artists that have participated in other forms of entertainment, outside of music (such as acting), these occupations can be included if notable.
Years_active
[మార్చు]Period in years during which the act was or has been active. Only years should be listed here (for example, do not distinguish between the period Paul McCartney was in The Beatles and his solo career), with non-consecutive periods separated by commas. Periods should be separated by an unspaced en dash (e.g. 1993–2004, 2005–present). See WP:DATE#Longer periods and WP:MOS#En dashes.
Label
[మార్చు]The record label or labels to which the act has been signed, as a comma-separated list. Omit parenthetical dates; save that information for the main article. Drop the word "Records" from the end of any label's name (e.g. use [[Universal Records|Universal]] rather than [[Universal Records]].)
Associated_acts
[మార్చు]Acts from which this act spun off; acts which spun off a group act; groups with which an artist performs; other acts with which the act is associated.
URL
[మార్చు]The single web address for the act's official website.
Current_members
[మార్చు]This field is only relevant for groups. Current members of the group, listed in order of joining with no other notation than names.
Past_members
[మార్చు]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.
Notable_instruments
[మార్చు]This field is only relevant for individuals. Particularly noteworthy models or custom musical instruments with which the artist is strongly associated (e.g. Jimi Hendrix's Fender Stratocaster and Gibson Flying V guitars or Tori Amos's Bösendorfer piano).
Microformat
[మార్చు]The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the person's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue articles across Wikipedia or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book or database. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.
Sub-templates
[మార్చు]Date-of-birth ("bday") information will only be included in the microformat if {{birth date}}, or {{birth date and age}} are used in the infobox. (Do not use these if the date is before 1583). Be cautious about using these if the person is still living, per WP:DOB.
To include a URL, use {{URL}}.
Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.
