== Parameters ==
===name===
The title of the song. If not provided, the template uses the {{tl|PAGENAMEBASE}} of the page. Since it is not linked, [[wikipedia:WP:DAB|disambiguation]] terms, such as {{nowrap|"(song)"}}, {{nowrap|"(Beyoncé song)"}}, etc., are not needed.
 
===cover===
Add an image of a sheet music cover, picture sleeve, or other image appropriate for the song. First, one must be uploaded (see [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Uploading images|Uploading images]] for details). Then, enter the file name (without File:) into the field, such as <code>[Image Name].jpg</code>.
 
===alt===
Line 140:
 
===artist===
If the article associates the original or primary rendition of the song with one artist, enter the name of the artist and link if they have a WP article. For band names that begin with "The", enter the lower case "the" ({{para|artist|the Beatles}}, rather than {{para|artist|The Beatles}}), consistent with [[wikipedia::MOS:THEMUSIC|:MOS:THEMUSIC]]. For traditional or historical songs, when the focus is not on a particular rendition, this should be left blank (alternatively, consider using [[wikipedia:Template:Infobox musical composition|Template:Infobox musical composition]]).
 
===album===
Line 214:
 
===prev_year===
Enter only the year the previous single was released. Following the WP [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Date formatting|date style guidelines]], years should not be linked within the chronology section. Leave this field blank if there is no previous single.
 
===next_title===
Line 223:
 
===tracks===
Several track listing options are available. See the [[wikipedia:#Track listing examples|Track listing examples]] section below for explanations and codes.
 
===misc===
Line 255:
If a separate album track listing sub-template has been created, it may be added to the {{para|tracks}} of the infobox. Using such a template may be more convenient for multi-disc albums or those with many tracks. A header with the album name will be automatically generated, along with the number of tracks. The song title will not be linked, but will appear in <strong>bold</strong>.
 
The example to the right uses {{tl|Rumours tracks}} to demonstrate. To see its use in actual song infobox, click on the song links. Please note, if a singles chronology is also used in the infobox ({{para|prev_title}}, etc.), {{tl|Extra track listing}} must be used in the {{para|misc}} field (refer to that [[wikipedia:Template:Extra track listing#Usage|Template:Extra track listing#Usage]] for the code and explanation).
