background badlo
The musical artist should be placed into one of seven categories by using one of the codes below in the background field. Each category is color-coded to provide a quick indication of the type of group/performer, e.g. solo artist, orchestra, etc. The color scheme is similar to the one used by WikiProject Albums and other projects. Please discuss additional types that need to be accounted for on the template's talk page. This field is mandatory.
| Code | Display | |
|---|---|---|
| solo_singer |
|
|
| non_vocal_instrumentalist |
|
|
| non_performing_personnel |
|
|
| group_or_band |
|
|
| classical_ensemble |
|
|
| temporary |
|
solo_singer- Singular vocal performers (including lead and background singers, singer-songwriters, and singer-instrumentalists). This categorization is for any article about a singer, whether they perform solo, with a group or band, or both.
non_vocal_instrumentalist- Non-vocal instrumentalists.
non_performing_personnel- Composers, producers, songwriters, arrangers, DJs, engineers, and other non-performing personnel.
group_or_band- Groups, bands, crews, or other non-classical music ensembles. This categorization is for articles on group acts only; members of groups should be labeled with one of the codes above.
classical_ensemble- Orchestras and other classical music ensembles.
temporary- Temporary collaborative projects.
Other values (e.g. "jazz trumpeter") must not be used.
Pages with invalid value in |background= can be found in Category:Infobox musical artist with missing or invalid Background field.
birth_name badlo
This field is only relevant for individuals. The person's name at birth
native_name badlo
This field is only relevant for individuals. The artist's name in their own language
native_name_lang badlo
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
alias badlo
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 badlo
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 badlo
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 badlo
The town, city etc., from which the group or musician originated (that is, the place where the group was founded, or where 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 badlo
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 badlo
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 badlo
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 2-4. Genres should be separated by using commas or {{flatlist}}.[1] Genres should be wikilinked. Use piped links where needed, for example: [[Pop music|Pop]], [[Rock music|rock]]. Note: 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.
occupation badlo
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).
instrument badlo
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 or {{flatlist}}.[1] 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 badlo
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 or {{flatlist}}[1] 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 badlo
The record label or labels to which the act has been signed, as a comma- or {{flatlist}}-separated list.[1] Omit parenthetical dates; save that information for the main article as this degree of detail is better discussed in prose. Drop the word "Records" from the end of any label's name (e.g. use [[Universal Records|Universal]] rather than [[Universal Records]].) Separate multiple entries by using commas or {{flatlist}}.[1] Start with the oldest first.
associated_acts badlo
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
- Other 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 or {{flatlist}}.[1]
The following uses of this field should be avoided:
- Association of groups with members' solo careers
- 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, or on a single song
- Groups that are merely similar
website badlo
The single web address for the act's primary official website. Use {{URL}} as {{URL|example.com}}.
current_members badlo
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 badlo
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. Separate multiple entries using * list markup. For example,
| past_members = * Member 1 * Member 2 * Member 3
notable_instruments badlo
This field is only relevant for individuals. Particularly noteworthy models or custom musical instruments with which the artist is strongly associated (e.g. Jimi Hendrix's Fender Stratocaster and Gibson Flying V guitars or Tori Amos's Bösendorfer piano). Separate multiple entries by using commas or {{flatlist}}.[1]
