Template:Discogs artist

[edit] Template documentation

{{Discogs artist}} generates links to artist discographies at Discogs.com.

Other Discogs templates: Template:Discogs release, Template:Discogs label

[edit] Usage

Code:

{{Discogs artist | artist = urlcode | name = {{subst:PAGENAME}} }}

Placement:

• This template is an external links template and should be placed in the "External links" section of a musical artist's page.

[edit] Instructions

1. Find the appropriate artist at discogs.com.
2. The page URL should look like http://www.discogs.com/artist/xxxxx, where "xxxxx" indicates the artist's name.
3. Copy ONLY the name (be sure that you didn't copy the / right before it)
4. Add to the external links section the text:

{{discogs artist | artist = xxxxx | name = yyyyy }}

Where "xxxxx" is the name you've copied and "yyyyy" is the name you would like to display.

[edit] Example

1. Search for "The Postal Service" on discogs.com, and you will reach this page: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Postal+Service,+The
2. Copy "Postal+Service,+The" and then write:

{{Discogs artist | artist = Postal+Service,+The | name = The Postal Service}}

The result is:

The Postal Service at Discogs

Note that, since this will almost certainly go on the external link section, you should add a * before the template text to include it as a list item.
