Pages with an invalid value in |background=
can be found in Category:Infobox musical artist with missing or invalid Background field.
native_name
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]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
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]This field is only relevant for individuals.
ISO 639-2 code. E.g., "fre" or "fra" for French. If more than one, use {{lang}} for |native_name=
instead
birth_name
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]This field is only relevant for individuals. The person's name at birth
alias
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]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
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]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
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]This field is only relevant for individuals. The artist's place of birth. Do not add a flag icon. (see field "origin" below).
[[City]], State/Province, Country
origin
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]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. 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
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]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
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]This field is only relevant for individuals. The artist's place of death (same format as birth_place). Do not add a flag icon. Omit the country if it does not differ from that specified at the field "birth_place".
genre
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]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}}.[୧] 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
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]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}}.[୧]
instrument
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]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. Separate multiple entries by using commas, {{Flatlist}} or {{Hlist}}.[୧] 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
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]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}}}.[୧] 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. For groups only use {{Start date}}.
label
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]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}}.[୧] Start with the oldest first.
associated_acts
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]This field is for professional relationships with other musicians or bands that are significant and notable to this artist's career.
This field can include, for example, any of the following:
- For individuals: groups of which he or she has been a member
- Acts with which this act has collaborated on multiple occasions, or on an album, or toured with as a single collaboration act playing together
- Groups which have spun off from this group
- A group from which this group has spun off
Separate multiple entries by using commas, {{Flatlist}}, or {{Hlist}}.[୧]
As per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists and WP:Bandname, use sentence case for lists of band names. Example: The Rolling Stones, the Beatles, the Who
The following uses of this field should be avoided:
- For groups: the solo careers of its members
- Groups with only one member in common
- Association of producers, managers, etc. (who are themselves acts) with other acts (unless the act essentially belongs to the producer, as in the case of a studio orchestra formed by and working exclusively with a producer)
- One-time collaboration for a single song
- Groups that have played or toured together as separate acts
- Groups that are merely similar
website
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]The single web address for the act's primary official website. Use {{URL}} as {{URL|www.example.com}} . {{Official URL}} can be used to automatically fetch the web address from Wikidata.
current_members
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]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
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]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. Can also be given as |former_members=
. Separate multiple entries using * list markup. For example,
| past_members = * Member 1 * Member 2 * Member 3
embed
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]Set to 'yes' if embedded in another infobox template.
module, module2, module3
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]Used for embedding other infoboxes into this one.
Use as a child template
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]The embed parameter is used when embedding this infobox into another.
This infobox may be used to create a genre-specific section within {{Infobox person}} (or similar biographical infobox templates) for cases where a person may be notable in more than one field; a generic example is shown below. For guidance on usage, see Wikipedia:Infobox modules. Also see the Template:Infobox documentation which explains embedding and subboxes.
{{Infobox person | name = | image = | caption = | birth_date = | birth_place = | <!-- etc. --> | module = {{Infobox musical artist | embed=yes | background = | parameter-2 = | parameter-3 = | parameter-4 = | <!-- etc. --> }} }}
Embedding other templates
[ସମ୍ପାଦନା]The module parameters (module, module2, module3) are used for embedding other templates into this infobox.
{{Infobox musical artist | name = | background = | <!-- etc. --> | module = {{Infobox ABC | embed = yes <!-- or child=yes / subbox=yes --> | <!-- etc. --> }} }}
