[edit] Infobox debate

Currently, this project has two main infoboxes for use on musicians' pages. Ideally, this project would like to decide on one style to standardize Wikipedia. Please note your perferred infobox on the talk page.

[edit] Option 1: {{Infobox band}}

• This template has a slightly different style than the majority of other musical-based infoboxes. (See {{Infobox album}}.)
• Code:

{{Infobox Band
| band_name = 
| image = 
| caption = 
| origin = 
| country = 
| years_active = 
| music_genre = 
| record_label = 
| us_distribution = 
| current_members = 
| past_members = 
| website = 
}}

• See template in use on the Metallica page.

[edit] Option 2: {{Infobox musical artist}}

• This template was created by a member of this project. It employs a color-theme much like {{Infobox album}}.
• Code:

{{Infobox musical artist
|Name = 
|Img = 
|Img_capt = 
|Img_size = (Only use for images smaller than 220 pixels)
|Background = 
|Birth_name = 
|Alias = 
|Born = 
|Died = 
|Origin = 
|Instrument = 
|Genre = 
|Occupation = 
|Years_active = 
|Label = 
|Associated_acts = 
|URL = 
|Current_members = 
|Past_members = 
}}

• See template in use on the Elvis Presley page.

[edit] Option 3: Combination of #1 and #2

• This option would consist of some sort of combination of the two previous options. Please specify exact recommendations.

• Example(s):

• Use option #1, but add color-coordination.

[edit] Infobox debate: Voting

The goal of this vote is to establish community backing of one of the two templates. The supported template needs to: have flexibility to be used for bands as well as individual musicians. provide easy-to-read information. have a neutral point of view.

The debate over the templates has been long. Template talk:Infobox musical artist#re: Template:Infobox musical artist 2 Template talk:Infobox Band#Which template to use
