== Parameters ==
* Most fields are optional and the row will simply be omitted if no data is supplied.
* See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians|WikiProject Musicians]] for more information about this template.
=== background ===
Required to distinguish if the subject is a single person or a group that is required for the template's embedded [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Microformats/hcard|hCard microformat]]. Use either <code>person</code> or <code>group_or_band</code> as the value.
=== honorific_prefix ===
Line 132 ⟶ 205:
=== birth_date ===
{{Em|This field is only relevant for individuals.}} The artist's date of birth; it is preferable to use {{tl|Birth date and age}} (for example <code><nowiki>{{Birth date and age|1949|12|31}}</nowiki></code>) to display current age. If the artist's age is verified, but the date is not known, then use {{tl|Birth based on age as of date}} (for example <code><nowiki>{{Birth based on age as of date|63|2012|08|30}}</nowiki></code>). For dead people, use {{tl|Birth date}} (for example <code><nowiki>{{Birth date|1949|12|31}}</nowiki></code>). Also list the place of birth using the birth_place parameter (below).
<
=== birth_place ===
{{Em|This field is only relevant for individuals.}} The artist's place of birth. For "United States" and "United Kingdom", it is preferred that they be abbreviated "
<
=== origin ===
The town, city etc., from which the group or musician originated (that is, the place where the group was founded, or where the 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. For "United States" and "United Kingdom", it is preferred that they be abbreviated "
<
=== death_date ===
Line 147 ⟶ 220:
=== death_place ===
{{Em|This field is only relevant for individuals.}}
The artist's place of death (same format as birth_place). For "United States" and "United Kingdom", it is preferred that they be abbreviated "
=== genre ===
The genre or genres of music performed by the act. Aim for generality (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[Hip hop music|Hip hop]]</nowiki></code> rather than <code><nowiki>[[East Coast hip hop]]</nowiki></code>) and preferably use two to four. Genres should be separated by using commas, {{tl|Flatlist}} or {{tl|Hlist}}.{{r|lists}} Genres should be wikilinked. Use piped links where needed, for example: <code><nowiki>[[Pop music|Pop]], [[Rock music|rock]]</nowiki></code>. 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 <code><nowiki><!-- genres listed here are sourced in the article text --></nowiki></code> can also be used to this end.
===
{{Em|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). Multiple occupations should be ordered according to importance and separated by commas, {{tl|Flatlist}} or {{tl|Hlist}}.{{r|lists}}
===
{{Em|This field is only relevant for individuals.}} General class(es) of instrument(s) played by the artist (e.g. <code><nowiki>guitar</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>violin</nowiki></code>). Include <code><nowiki>singing</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>rapping</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>beatboxing</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>scat singing</nowiki></code> if relevant. Separate multiple entries by using commas, {{tl|Flatlist}} or {{tl|Hlist}}.{{r|lists}} Instruments listed in the infobox should be limited to {{em|only}} those that the artist is primarily known for using. The instruments infobox parameter is {{em|not}} intended as a [[WP:COATRACK]] for every instrument the subject has ever used.
=== discography ===
Link to an article about the musician's or group's [[discography]]. This field should not be displayed on printable version.
=== years_active ===
Line 165 ⟶ 241:
=== current_member_of ===
The groups/bands of which
=== past_member_of ===
The groups/bands of which
=== spinoffs ===
Line 176 ⟶ 252:
A group from which this group has spun off.
=== spouse
{{Em|This field is only relevant for individuals.}} The confirmed spouse(s) of the individual. Names of the spouses should be separated by using commas, {{tl|Flatlist}}, {{tl|Hlist}}, or {{tl|Unbulleted list}}. {{Tl|Marriage}} may be used to indicate the date at which the marriage(s) started and ended where known. {{r|lists}}
=== partner
{{Em|This field is only relevant for individuals.}} As for spouse or spouses, but the confirmed long term unmarried partner(s) of the individual.
=== current_members ===
{{Em|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 [[Help:list|<nowiki>*</nowiki> list markup]]. For example,
<
| current_members =
* Member 1
* Member 2
* Member 3
</syntaxhighlight>
=== past_members ===
{{Em|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
<
| past_members =
* Member 1
* Member 2
* Member 3
</syntaxhighlight>
=== website ===
The {{em|single}} web address for the act's primary {{em|official}} website. Use {{tl|URL}} as <nowiki>{{URL|example.com}} </nowiki>. {{tl|Official URL}} can be used to automatically fetch the web address from Wikidata.
