(Added Cover variable--if Cover is set, put article in Covers category, if not, put it in Songs category. See Talk:tourette's (song)#Categorical Misplacement?) |
(Removed useless vertical bars from actual template and usage guidelines. Added space between header text and header formatting.) |

This is, hopefully, an adequate temporary box to put on all the song articles. I wrote this in about 5 minutes, and I know nothing about making templates other than 5 minutes reading Wikipedia's tutorials, so anyone who can make it look nicer or thinks of anything to add to it please do, I think some feature for international chart positions would be nice... :-)
Thanks to some template wizardry, this template now automatically adds articles it is added to [[Category:Songs]]
Usage
{{Songbox
| Name =
| Album =
| Length = mm:ss
| AltTitles =
| First =
| Recorded =
| Writer =
| Producer =
| Chart position =
}}
Which means...
{{Songbox
| Name = (The name of the song)
| Album = (The album, single or EP the track is taken from)
| Length = mm:ss (The length of the track, duh!)
| AltTitles = (Unofficial, pre-release titles of the song)
| First = (First known gig the song was performed live, eg 'Crying Shame' would be '19th December 2004'
| Latest = (Latest known performance if greater than one month ago)
| Recorded = (Year of the first and subsequent recordings)
| Writer = (The songwriter, in most cases Sir Bellamy)
| Producer = (The producer)
| Chart position = (The highest UK chart position, other countries may be added to the template later)
}}
Happy editing!
