Parameters
- native_name
- name in local language. If more than one, separate using {{Plain list}}
- native_name_lang
- ISO 639-2 code e.g. "fr" for French. If more than one, use {{lang}} instead
- etymology
- meaning or derivation of the name
- other_names
- additional names that the genre is known by.
- Use with discretion; discuss on talk before engaging in potentially confusing scenarios like Progressive rock/Progressive pop and New wave/Synthpop. For multiple entries, see Notes[1] for details.
- color
- Colour used for the headings. See WikiProject Music/Music genres task force/Colours.
- bgcolor
- Colour used for the headings' backgrounds.
- stylistic_origins
- See Notes[2] for location details; for multiple entries, see Notes[1].
- cultural_origins
- See Notes[2] for location details; for multiple entries, see Notes[1].
- derivatives
- List of influenced genres that follow in the traditions of the parent without necessarily being a subcategory. For multiple entries, see Notes[1] for details.
- subgenres
- List of child genres that fall within a subcategory of the parent. Genres and subgenres must be capitalized (ex: house music). For multiple entries, see Notes[1] for details.
- subgenerelist
- Article containing the complete list of subgenre
- regional_scenes
- Articles specializing in regional variants of the parent genre (ex: British rock, American pop). These should be pipelinked as
[[British rock|Britain]]
and[[American rock|United States]]
. See Notes[2] for location details; for multiple entries, see Notes[1]. - Should not include scenes associated with a particular region (ex: Japanoise, Early Norwegian black metal scene). Because those terms are not equivalent to "Japanese noise music" or "Norwegian black metal", they go below.
- local_scenes
- Articles specializing in local scenes related to the genre (ex: Madchester, The Scene That Celebrates Itself). For multiple entries, see Notes[1] for details.
- current_year
- set to
yes
to include a link to the "2024 in <genre>" article at the bottom of the infobox. 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.) If the link does not update, try purging the page. 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
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 For short horizontal lists of two or three items, comma separators are acceptable, but for longer lists the use of the
class=hlist
is preferred as it offers a benefit to users of screen readers (see Wikipedia:Accessibility for more information on Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). To use it, format the items as a normal bulleted list; don't use other list templates or <br/>. For example:| genre = *Item one *Item two *Item three
will be displayed as a horizontal list separated by middots:
Genre - Item one
- Item two
- Item three
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 2.2 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, U.S." 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.
