Template:MusicArticle/sandbox

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is based on Doujin CD Page Template's idea and created for ease of usage. An important thing to note as well is that most categories, such as Arrange CDs, circle names, and conventions, are already done by the template.

Parameters

musictype

If this article is about official ZUN's CD, write Official CDs here. If this article is an original album by a Touhou music circle, write Original CDs. Otherwise, delete this line (must be deleted, not simply left blank, otherwise the navigation bar will not load). Older articles have music type filled with Arrange CDs, that use is now deprecated.

titlejp

Japanese name of the album, if it contains Japanese words. If not, leave empty and use titleen instead.

titlejprom

Romanization of Japanese name, if applicable.

titleen

English translation of title, if original title is Japanese. If title is English, it goes here.

group

Group (doujin circle, label) that released the album. Use links here, like this: [[IOSYS]]. If album is collaborative, put several group names here, using comma and "and" as delimeters.

groupCat

groupCat2

groupCat3

groupCat4

Fill these fields with romanized circle name. Find other albums by the group to find established one. It will be used for categorization and navigation box at the bottom.

released

Date when the album was released, in YYYY-MM-DD format (eg. 2011-02-14).

convention

Fill in the name of convention the album was released at. For example, Comiket 79.

tracks

The number of CD tracks in this album. It's OK to write in form "x+y", if the album contains several CDs.

length

Total running length in HH:MM:SS format. Hours can be omitted, if zero.

catalogno

Catalog number. Leave this empty if there is none, it will automatically be set to n/a.

image

Filename of the file with album cover. If available, use catalog number for the filename. In case of name collisions or when number is unavailable, use album title.

caption

Text to appear under the album cover. (eg. '''Cover Art:''' [[Parsee Mizuhashi]])

banner

A small banner, that circles usually put on the album's site.

banner_res

The size to be used for the banner, if left blank the default is 200 wide. Enter x before the number to indicated a vertical resolution. Example 300 for 300 pixels wide, x60 for 60 pixels tall.

multicolumn

Set any value to allow multiple columns in the staff credits section, once set simply place {{MusicArticle/Divider}} at the start of a new line in the credits to begin a new column. MusicArticle/Divider's first parameter can be set to format the new columns style (eg. text-align: center;, see Wikipedia:Help:Table for more info on table style options).

genre

Use the Genre template to link to different genres.

Example:

| genre ={{Genre|Electronic}}, {{Genre|Instrumental}}, {{Genre|Trance}}

website

Put preformatted link to the web page here, if available. If there's no separate link to the album's page, link to the circle's page instead.

digital

Put a series of pre-formatted links to pages offering the album digitally. If the album is free or only available in a bundle, this should be noted. Do not link to pirated copies.

tdmd

Put y (or any other nonempty string) if the album has bee published via Touhou Doujin Music Distribution, and leave it blank otherwise.

arranger

composer

lyricist

vocalist

producer

illustrator

designer

masterer

These fields are for names of people who contributed to this album. If several vocalists sung in this album, write them like this:

| vocalist =First
:Second
:Third

Note that these fields essentially duplicate staff specified per-track. Write them here anyway, as it's handy to know whether favorite vocalist appears in this album or doesn't at the first glance.

Also note that if any of these parameters begin with a semicolon (;) the header will be overridden (eg. beginning the arranger parameter with" ; Arrangement and Compositions" will result in the header being displayed as Arrangement and Compositions as apposed to Arrangement)

Known Limitation: parameters that exceed 1000 characters will not be able to use the semicolon override, removing hover text is a potential work around as the H:title template adds minimum 50+ characters each time it's used.

other_staff

other (deprecated)

If there are staff members that can't be classified by fields above, lay out definition list here.

| other_staff = 
;Moans
:miko
;Banjoist
:Anonymous

no_intro

Set this value to remove the template generated first sentence so that there is nothing before the "description" parameter. If the value is set please retain a format that is similar to the template generated format as the beginning of the description parameter.

Example:

'''{{{titleen}}}''' (''{{{titlejp}}}'' {{{titlejprom}}}) is the second compilation [[Wikipedia:Dōjin_music|doujin album]] by {{{group}}} and was released at {{{convention}}} ({{{released}}}).

non_album

Use this to specify when the MusicArticle is for non-albums such as Singles, EPs, Drama CDs, etc. The use of !doujin to link to the Wikipedia page of doujin music is deprecated. Simply omit non_doujin to include it in the lead of the article.

non_doujin

Use this to specifiy when the album/single/EP/etc. is not a doujin release.

autogendesc

A parameter used to auto generate the first editor entered line of the description (An album featuring vocal and instrumental arrangements of themes from etc.), to use simply enter the type of arrangements featured on the album into the parameter (eg. vocal and instrumental), enter ? to leave unspecified. This parameter requires the game title abbreviation templates be used to function, also note that <nowiki /> can be used to start the description parameter as a new paragraph ^{(See description parameter's explanation for more details)}.

as_well_as

If autogendesc is used in an article, use this to include any non-Touhou sources.

description

Free-form field that will be printed right after the introduction at the same line. It should begin with a sentence formatted something like this:

| description =It features vocal and instrumental arrangements of themes from ''[[Touhou English Title 1]]'', ''[[Touhou English Title 2]]'' and ''[[Touhou English Title 3]]''.

After which you may write something about the album itself, about its popularity, or other facts. If you need to start a new paragraph without writing anything on that line, use the following hack:

| description =<nowiki />

New paragraph starts here.

tracklist

The most important field. It's described in separate section below.

notes

Use this when you want to add something just after the tracklist. Notes about tracks, for example.

review

Write your own opinion about the album. Don't forget to sign, like on talk pages (--~~~~)

print_references

Set this field to yes if you've used any <ref> tags. That way template will print "References" section.

Track entries use {{Track}} template. Older articles use it differently, because it was changed recently, or don't use that template at all, because it was introduced relatively recently (13 years ago) too. Please refer to its documentation, and fill in as many options as possible.
