[edit] Details

Try to fill in as many of the details as you can. If you can't find out some details, leave the section blank or with "???" to make it easier for someone else to fill in later.

Name 

This field should contain the name of the single. This field is mandatory.

Cover 

Upload a copy of the single cover (under fair use—use the tag "{{albumcover}}"). Ideally the image should be 200px wide. Enter the file name only into the field: <Image Name>.jpg.

Border 

Type "yes" in this field to place a 1px border around the single's cover.

Artist 

This field should contain the name of the artist. This field is mandatory.

A-side 

This field should only be used if there is a record title distinct from the A-side.

Released 

This field should refer to the earliest known date, using a single occurrence of {{Start date}} as {{Start date|YYYY|MM|DD}}, for example "{{Start date|2007|7|31}}". (Use "{{Start date|YYYY|MM}}" if only year and month are known, or "{{Start date|YYYY}}" for just a year).

Recorded 

This field should include details on where and when the song was recorded.

Length 

The length should be formatted as mm:ss.

Label 

This field should refer to the label on which the single/album was originally released. Where significantly different versions have been released (featuring alternate track listings) e.g. U.S. vs. UK, the later release date and/or record label should be mentioned in the article. Drop words like "Records" from the end of the label's name (e.g. use [[Universal Records|Universal]] rather than [[Universal Records]]).

Producer 

The producer is not necessarily the same as the "Artist" field.

Misc 

This field allows you to provide additional infobox data (additional chronologies using {{Extra chronology 2}} or {{Extra album cover 2}} for example).

[edit] Chronology

The chronology section should link to the previous single on the left and the next single on the right. Songs should be ordered based on the first release dates of their official singles.

• For first singles the left box (the "Last single=" field) should be left blank.
• For latest singles, the right box (the "Next single=" field) should be left blank.

Wikipedia's date style guidelines recommend that years should not be linked within the chronology section.

• Note: album cover images should NOT be used in this section as they do not meet Wikipedia fair use requirements.

[edit] Examples

Here are some examples of articles using the infoboxes:

• "Country House"
• "I Want to Hold Your Hand"
• "Smells Like Teen Spirit"

Microformat

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCalendar microformat, which makes the event details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to a calendar or diary application. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Dates will only appear if you use {{Start date}} or {{End date}} (use the former for single dates).

hCalendar uses HTML classes including:

This template employs intricate features of template syntax. You are encouraged to familiarise yourself with its setup and parser functions before editing the template. If your edit causes unexpected problems, please undo it quickly, as this template may appear on a large number of pages. Remember that you can conduct experiments, and should test all improvements, in either the general Template sandbox or your user space before changing anything here.

[edit] Details

Name 

This field should contain the name of the song. This field is compulsory.

Cover 

You should not use the album cover, as this is not compliant with our fair-use criteria.

Border 

Type "yes" in this parameter to add a 1 px border to the cover image

Type 

If you want to add something more descriptive than "Song" use the "Type" field.

Tracks 

There are two ways to create a track listing; either a "full" album track listing or a partial one. The full track listing is done using the "Tracks" field (simply list the tracks using #'s). The partial method is using the prev, prev_no, next, next_no and track_no fields. This is for previous and next tracks. It'd be better to use "Tracks"; both should not be used.

Recorded 

This field is for the place that the song was recorded
