Articles about songs often include an infobox that provides an overview or summary of the song. Generally, Infobox song is oriented more towards recorded music that has been commercially released. Other infoboxes, such as {{Infobox musical composition}} and {{Infobox anthem}} may be better suited to traditional or historical songs. The examples to the right are the infobox filled in with the most commonly used parameters.
An infobox provides key facts as discussed in the article—it should not be too detailed or take up too much of the article space. It should only contain items, such as genres or songwriters, that are discussed in the article (or have citations to reliable sources).
The code below can be copied and completed with information pertaining to particular song articles. The Parameters section provides guidance on using the fields.
Code[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
The first template code below includes the most commonly used infobox parameters. If there is no information in the article to support the field, leave it blank. Remove the <!-- and --> to use the {{Start date}} and {{Duration}} subtemplates.
The second includes the full set of parameters; most articles will not need many of the fields and they may be left blank or removed. Please note that adding fields other than those listed, such as |arranger= or |recording engineer=, will not be displayed.
If this template is substituted, it will return a cleaned-up copy of itself with unnecessary parameters removed and deprecated parameters replaced. Parameter indentation will also automatically be fixed.

Parameters[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
name[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
The title of the song. If not provided, the template uses the {{PAGENAMEBASE}} of the page. Since it is not linked, disambiguation terms, such as "(song)", "(Beyoncé song)", etc., are not needed.
cover[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
Add an image of a sheet music cover, picture sleeve, or other image appropriate for the song. First, one must be uploaded (see Wikipedia:Uploading images for details). Then, enter the file name (without File:) into the field, such as [Image Name].jpg. This will automatically produce the caption "[Article name] cover" beneath the image if the |caption= field is not used.
alt[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
Use this field to provide alternative text or a description of the cover image for visually impaired readers. See WP:ALT.
caption[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
If something other than the automatically generated "[Article name] cover" is desired, add the description here.
type[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
Specify "single", "instrumental", "composition", "promo", etc., as shown in the code table below. The entry will be automatically linked to the corresponding article, so only the unlinked code is needed (the default is "song"). If an album track was later released as a single, use the most notable or best known. For example, "Stairway to Heaven" was released as a promo single in several markets and as a digital single in 2007, but became best known as a song from Led Zeppelin's fourth album. This field is used to generate the header and color; please note that it is not used for genre or format, which are described in the |genre= and |format= fields.
| Code | Color | Link | Display | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| single | khaki | Single |

artist[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
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 traditional or historical songs, when the focus is not on a particular rendition, this should be left blank (alternatively, consider using Template:Infobox musical composition).
album[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
If the song was first released on an album, enter the name of the album and link. The template will italicize the album name and produce "from the album Name" in the header. If the was originally released as a single well in advance of the album, |album= should not be used, since it is not from the album, but later added to one. For example, "Beck's Bolero" and "Back on the Chain Gang" were released as singles about 16 months before they were added to albums and became well-known before the albums.
EP[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
If the song was first released on an EP or Extended play, add the EP name in this field. The name will be italicized, etc., and should be used as described in the album subsection above. Please note: only album or EP should be used and depends on which one was issued first.
language[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
If the song is not in English, indicate the language (common languages should not be linked).
English_title[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
An English translation of the title may be included in this field.
A-side[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
If the article is about a song that was released as a B-side of a single, enter the name of the A-side and link as appropriate (do not use B-side). Quote marks will be added automatically.[೧] For multiple entries, see Notes[೨] for details. For double A-sided singles, refer to the Chronology for double-A-side singles section below.
B-side[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
If the article is about the song that was issued as the A-side of a single, enter the name of the B-side in this field (do not add A-side). Add a link if it has an article; quote marks will be automatically added.[೧] For multiple entries, see Notes[೨] for details. Generally, later releases or in secondary markets, reissues, etc., should only be included in the body of the article.
written[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
The year the song was written or composed may be added, if discussed in the article. This is usually used for historical songs, written before the advent of sheet music publishing or music recording.
published[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
The year the song was published also may be included, if discussed in the article. This usually refers to sheet music published before the rise of music recording.
released[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
Indicate the commercial release date, whether it is a single, album, or other. Enter the date using {{Start date}}. For example, use {{Start date|YYYY|MM|DD}} for the complete date, {{Start date|YYYY|MM}} if only year and month are known, or {{Start date|YYYY}} for just a year. For multiple entries, see Notes[೨] for details. Generally, later releases or in secondary markets, reissues, on compilations, etc., should only be included in the body of the article.
format[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
Indicate the way that the song was released, for example: 7-inch single, 12-inch single, CD single, cassette single, digital download (note the piped download link), etc. Generally, later releases or in secondary markets, reissues, on compilations, etc., should only be included in the body of the article. Do not use " or ″ (double quote) for inches, instead use 7-inch rather than 7" (if it is necessary to abbreviate, use 7 in; see WP:Units). Numbers should be expressed in figures rather than spelled out (10-inch instead of ten-inch) and should not be used alone; an additional descriptor, such as 45 rpm, single, record, etc., should follow. For multiple entries, see Notes[೩] for details.
recorded[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
Enter the date(s) the song was recorded. When there are many dates, it is best to summarize, using the month or range of months (e.g., January–March ವಿವರೊ ದೋಸೊ: ಗೊತ್ತಾವಂದಿನ ಚಿನ್ನೆಲು "೨".). For multiple entries, see Notes[೨] for details. Add the location of the recording in the |studio= or |venue= field.
studio[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
If the song was recorded in a recording studio, enter the name and location. Link the studio, but not well-known cities, states, or countries (see WP:OVERLINK). Remove "Studios" if it appears in the name – use [[Sound City Studios|Sound City]] rather than [[Sound City Studios]]. For multiple entries, see Notes[೩] for details.
venue[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
For live recordings, include the name of the venue (concert hall, stadium, etc.) and location. Link as appropriate.
genre[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
The field should include the music genre(s) that best describes the song. It should come from a reliable source and also be stated and referenced in the body of the article; personal opinions or original research must be not be included. For multiple entries, see Notes[೩] for details.
length[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
{{Duration}} is used to enter the length of the song. The timing should be taken from the original album or single release, instead of reissues, downloads, etc. An hAudio microformat is added automatically for the first duration detected. The duration must contain a seconds value, or it will be incorrectly interpreted. For multiple entries, see Notes[೨] for details. If there is more than one length specified in the parameter, or the page appears in Category:Duration without hAudio microformat (೦), use {{Duration}}.
label[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
The name of the record company that issued the release may be included here. Generally, add later releases, those from different countries, reissues, etc., in the body of article instead of the infobox. Remove "Records" if it appears in the name – use [[Universal Records|Universal]] instead of [[Universal Records]]. For multiple entries, see Notes[೩] for details.
writer[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
Use this field if the music and lyrics were written by one person or, in the case of multiple writers, where a separate lyricist and composer have not been clearly identified by a reliable source. Do not use this field if the |composer= and |lyricist= fields are used. For multiple entries, see Notes[೩] for details.
composer[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
The person(s) who composed the song's music, if different than the lyricist. If not differentiated in the article, use the |writer= field instead. For instrumentals, use this field only (in WP song articles, "song" (music with words) is not usually used to describe an "instrumental"). For multiple entries, see Notes[೩] for details.
lyricist[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
The person(s) who wrote the lyrics, if different than the song's composer. If not differentiated in the article, use the |writer= field instead. For multiple entries, see Notes[೩] for details.
producer[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
Enter the name of the person(s) credited with the record production. This is someone who oversees the recording process and is usually different than the artist or songwriter. For multiple entries, see Notes[೩] for details.
chronology[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
This field and the following |prev_title= and |next_title= display the artist's immediate singles chronology. By leaving it blank, "The Artist singles chronology" is automatically displayed if any of the following fields are used. An alternative header may be displayed before the automatically produced "chronology", for example, The Artist American, The Artist UK singles, etc., produces "The Artist American chronology", "The Artist UK singles chronology", etc. Please note: if this field is used and a track listing is also wanted, it must be added using {{Extra track listing}}.
prev_title[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
Enter the name of the artist's previous single. Quote marks will be added automatically;[೧] link it if there is a WP article. Leave this blank if the artist has no previous single. For double A-sided singles, refer to the Chronology for double-A-side singles section below.
prev_year[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
Enter only the year the previous single was released. Following the WP date style guidelines, years should not be linked within the chronology section. Leave this field blank if there is no previous single.
next_title[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
Enter the name of the artist's next single, if applicable. Quote marks will be added automatically;[೧] link it if there is a WP article.
next_year[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
Enter only the year the next single was issued, if applicable.
tracks[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
Several track listing options are available. See the Track listing examples section below for explanations and codes.
misc[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
This is not a space for miscellaneous information or comments. It allows for the use of subtemplates, including {{Extra chronology}}, {{Extra track listing}}, {{Extra album cover}}, {{Audio sample}}, and {{External music video}}. Please refer to the template pages for explanations on their use.
Track listing examples[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
Not all infoboxes should include album track listings. Articles about traditional or historical songs might not focus on a particular recording, so details about a later rendition, including album releases, are inappropriate for an infobox. Additionally, there may already be an album track listing with links to other songs in a navigation template or navbox at the end of the article. These include an album navbox (for example, {{Thriller (album)}}), an artist song navbox ({{Rihanna songs}}), or an artist navbox that includes songs ({{Robert Johnson}}).
An album track listing may be added to infobox song as long as the following criteria are met: 1) the article does not have a navbox in which the song appears; and 2) a majority of the album's songs are linked to WP articles. Currently, three different approaches to listing album tracks are found in infobox song.
Track listing using a separate sub-template[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
| "The Song" | |
|---|---|
| Song by The Artist | |
| from the album That Album | |
| Released | ಏಪ್ರಿಲ್ 1, ವಿವರೊ ದೋಸೊ: ಗೊತ್ತಾವಂದಿನ ಚಿನ್ನೆಲು "೨". |
| Recorded | January 1–10, ವಿವರೊ ದೋಸೊ: ಗೊತ್ತಾವಂದಿನ ಚಿನ್ನೆಲು "೨". |
| Studio | Record Plant, New York City |
| Genre | Contemporary R&B |
| Length | 3:01 |
| Label | Columbia |
| Songwriter(s) | The Artist |
| Producer(s) | The Producer |
| That Album track listing | |
11 tracks
| |
If a separate album track listing sub-template has been created, it may be added to the |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 bold.
The example to the right uses {{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 (|prev_title=, etc.), {{Extra track listing}} must be used in the |misc= field (refer to that Template:Extra track listing#Usage for the code and explanation).

A second option does not require a separate album track listing sub-template to be created. Instead, the {{Hidden}} template is placed directly into the infobox in the |tracks= field, then the tracks are listed. This may be copied and added to other songs infoboxes from the same album.
The example to the right uses this approach. To see its use in actual infoboxes, click on the song titles. Also, please note that if a singles chronology is also used in the infobox (|prev_title=, etc.), {{Extra track listing}} must be used in the |misc= field (refer to that Template:Extra track listing#Usage for the code and explanation).
- Code
{{Infobox song
...
| tracks = {{Hidden
| title =
| text =
#
#
# etc.
}}
- title
Enter the number of tracks, such as "10 tracks". A header will be generated automatically, for example "That Album track listing".
- text
In this field, add the album tracks, using # to generate a sequential numbering. The song titles should be in "quotes", with the article track also in bold. Link any track that has its own WP article, except for when the song is the subject of the article.
For multi-disc CDs, subheadings for "Disc one", "Disc two", etc. may be included. Similarly, subheadings such as "Side one" or "Side A" may be added for LP records and EPs. To ensure that the track numbering continues sequentially after a subheading (rather than starting again at "1"), use <li value="x"> where "x"=the next track number.
- Code
{{Infobox song
...
| tracks = {{Hidden
| title =
| text =
;Disc one
#

# etc.
;Disc two

Notes[ಸಂಪೊಲಿಪುಲೆ]
- ↑ ೧.೦ ೧.೧ ೧.೨ ೧.೩ If any details besides the actual song title (country, etc.) are added, quote marks need to be added manually to the song title. Additionally, for
|A-side=and|B-side=, quote marks need to be added for each title if there is more than one. - ↑ ೨.೦ ೨.೧ ೨.೨ ೨.೩ ೨.೪ For multiple entries, this parameter uses
|class=plainlist. Format the items as a normal bulleted list; don't use other list templates or <br/>. For example:| released = * First item * Send item * Third item
will be displayed as a vertical unbulleted list:
- Released First item
- Second item
- Third item
- ↑ ೩.೦ ೩.೧ ೩.೨ ೩.೩ ೩.೪ ೩.೫ ೩.೬ ೩.೭ For short horizontal lists of two or three items, comma separators are acceptable, but for longer lists the use of the
|class=hlistis preferred as it offers a benefit to users of screen readers (see Wikipedia:Accessibility for more information on Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). To use|class=hlist, format the items as a normal bulleted list; don't use other list templates or <br/>. For example:| format = * Item one * Item two * Item three
will be displayed as a horizontal list separated by middots:
- Format Item one
- Item two
- Item three
