Parameters
name
The most used name of the genre.
native_name
The name in the local language where the genre comes from.
- If more than one name listed, separate them using {{plainlist}}.
native_name_lang
ISO 639-2 code for the listed native names, e.g. fre
for French.
- If more than one, use {{lang}} in
|native_name=
instead.
etymology
Meaning or derivation of the name, e.g. [[Italian language|Italian]] for "slow violent"
.
other_names
Additional and alternative names that the genre is known by.
- Use with discretion; discuss on talk before engaging in potentially confusing scenarios like progressive rock/progressive pop or electropop/synth-pop. For multiple entries, see notes[1].
image
An image that would best supplement the described genre. Since 2018, the general consensus says to refrain against using photos of specific bands and musicians.
- Images should be sufficiently clear for display at 220 pixels' width. Set to only the image name, e.g.
Example.png
, notImage:Example.png
or[[File:Example.png|200px|abc]]
.
- image_size
- For size adjustments additional parameter
|image_size=
can be used, the width should be entered in pixels without "px". For example, use260
so the image would be fully embedded in the template.
alt
Alt text for the image, for visually impaired and other readers who cannot see the image.
- The optional field when the caption is not enough to describe the image. See JP:ALT.
caption
Caption for the image to be displayed under the image.
stylistic_origins
List of genres, musical and cultural roots that influenced the emergence of the described genre.
- For general rules on genres listing, see #subgenres section.
cultural_origins
The year (or time period) and the geographical location of the genre's origins, e.g. Early-to-mid 1980s, [[Berlin]], Germany
or Early 19th century, [[Mumbai]] region, India
.
instruments
List of musical instruments that are typical for the genre.
- For multiple entries, see notes[1].
derivatives
List of influenced genres that use some of the elements inherent to the genre without being a child genre or subcategory.
- For general rules on genres listing, see #subgenres section.
subgenres
List of child genres that share characteristics with the described genre and fall within its subcategory.
- When listing genres, aim for specificity and explicit detailing (e.g.
[[Deep house]]
rather than[[House music|House]]
or[[Electronic dance music|EDM]]
). Genres should be separated by using commas, {{flatlist}} or {{hlist}}.[1] 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 if needed. For multiple entries, see notes[1].
subgenerelist
Article containing the complete list of subgenres for the described genre.
- Place only existing list articles, without square brackets, e.g.
List of rock genres
. The list dedicated to the parent genre of the described genre should not be placed here, even if described genre is mentioned in the list as a subgenre.
fusiongenres
List of fusion genres that have additional parent genres, being a subcategory of both.
- For general rules on genres listing, see #subgenres section.
regional_scenes
Articles specializing in regional variants of the described genre, established within the countries or large regions, e.g. British rock or American pop.
- Articles should be pipelinked as
[[British rock|Britain]]
and[[American rock|United States]]
. See notes[2] for location details, and notes[1] for multiple entries. The list should not contain links redirecting to articles about the countries themselves, if the genre has well-known scenes without articles, it is better to leave them unlinked. Specific subgenres which have names derived out of country names should not be included here, e.g. Dutch house, because the genre is not equivalent to "any house music of the Netherlands". The same goes for articles on time periods or specific parts of the scene, e.g. Early Norwegian black metal scene), as it's not covering black metal scene of Norway generally.
local_scenes
Articles specializing in local scenes related to the genre, mostly existing within the cities, or small regions within a country, e.g. Madchester or The Scene That Celebrates Itself.
- The list should contain the original names of the scenes, i.e. there's no need to pipelink scene names with city names. Direct links to the cities or region articles should not be placed here, use unlinked text. For multiple entries, see Notes[1] for details.
other_topics
Related articles which did not fall into the categories above, or other articles closely related to the genre, including lists, dedicated to the genre.
- For multiple entries, see notes[1]. Articles dedicated to musical artists usually should not be placed here.
footnotes
Collects all used notes into a numbered list.
- Used in pair with {{efn}} in the template, displays list of notes via {{notelist}}. To use, place
{{notelist}}
in the field.
current_year
Places the link to 2024 in music articles at the bottom of the infobox, dedicated to very few specific genres.
- Set
yes
to include such links. Link will update automatically for new years, once the "<new year> in <genre>" article has been written. If no article has been written for the old year nor the new year, it will redlink the new year's article to encourage its creation. Has two optional further parameters:
- current_year_title
The "2024 in <genre>" function assumes that the current page's title is the genre's name, i.e., if you use this on classical music, it will link to "2024 in classical music"). If that is not the case, use this parameter to specify the genre's name. The annual-update feature will work just the same.
- current_year_override
This overrides the whole parameter, for if the desired article uses some unusual title formulation (e.g. "2010s in classical music"). If this parameter is used, the link will not update for new years.
Notes
- ^ a b c d e f g h For short horizontal lists of two or three items, comma separators are acceptable, but for longer lists the use of {{flatlist}} or {{hlist}} is preferred as they offer a benefit to users of screen readers. Don't use other list templates or
<br />
tags for reasons of accessibility. - ^ a b As per RfC "Naming countries in infoboxes": When identifying a location, city or region in the United States or United Kingdom, the preferred approach is to use the country abbreviations allowed by MOS:ACRO, such as "Portsmouth, New Hampshire, US" and "Cardiff, Wales, UK", rather than spelling out the full country name. Avoid using abbreviations for states or provinces in all nations. New Hampshire rather than NH, New South Wales rather than NSW, or British Columbia rather than BC (see MOS:POSTABBR). Cities such as New York City and London may be rendered as "New York City, U.S." and "London, UK" or simply "New York City" and "London". Also, these should not be linked when the context makes it clear (see MOS:OVERLINK). If only the country name is included, it may be written out in full.
