'''{{tl|Infobox musical artist}}''' is the standard infobox for musician articles, and is within the purview of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians|WikiProject Musicians]].

This template may also be used as a module (or sub-template) of {{tl|Infobox person}}; see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Infoboxes/embed|WikiProject Infoboxes/embed]] for guidance on such usage.

See also [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians/Infobox|WikiProject Musicians/Infobox]] for more information.

== Usage ==
{{em|One of the following two}} alternatives (one for individuals, one for groups) should be placed in an article at the top of the page, before the introduction.

=== For articles about individuals ===
* For dancers, use {{tl|Infobox dancer}} instead.

== 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.

=== honorific_prefix ===
Titles or styles such as "[[The Right Honourable]]"

=== name ===
The name of the group or artist ("the act") in plain text only. Logos and other graphics are to be avoided in this field in accordance with [[WP:ACCESS]], [[WP:FAIR]], and in particular [[WP:LOGO]]. This field is mandatory.

=== honorific_suffix ===
Honours such as "CBE", "OBE" e.g. [[Cilla Black|Cilla Black OBE]]

=== image ===
An image of the act, sufficiently clear for display at 220 pixels' width. Set to only the image name, e.g. <code>Example.png</code>, not <code>Image:Example.png</code> or <code><nowiki>[[File:Example.png|200px|abc]]</nowiki></code>.

=== image_size ===
The image size should only be specified if the image is smaller than 220 pixels width. Enter the width in pixels without "px", for example <code>150</code>.

=== image_upright ===
Scales the image thumbnail from its default size by the given factor. Values less than 1 scale the image down (0.9 = 90%) and values greater than 1 scale the image up (1.15 = 115%).

=== landscape ===
Set to <code>yes</code> when using wide, short images. The image height (rather than width) will be limited to 200 pixels.

=== alt ===
Alt text for the image, for visually impaired and other readers who cannot see the image. See [[WP:ALT]].

=== caption ===
Caption for the image to be displayed.

<div id="background_field"><!--for compatibility with legacy anchors--></div>
<div id="background_values"><!--for compatibility with legacy anchors--></div>
<div id="Background color"><!--for compatibility with legacy anchors--></div>

=== background ===
The musical artist should be placed into one of seven categories by using one of the codes below in the <code>background</code> field. Each category is color-coded to provide a quick indication of the type of group/performer, e.g. solo artist, orchestra, etc. The color scheme is similar to the one used by [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums|WikiProject Albums]] and other projects. Please discuss additional types that need to be accounted for on the template's [[Template talk:Infobox musical artist|talk page]]. '''This field is mandatory'''.

{{Infobox musical artist/doc/type|description=Description}}

'''Other values (e.g. "jazz trumpeter") {{Allcaps|must not}} be used.'''

Pages with an invalid value in {{para|background}} can be found in [[:Category:Infobox musical artist with missing or invalid Background field]].

=== native_name ===
<span style="background:#F0E68C">This field is only relevant for individuals.</span>
The artist's name in their own language. For Chinese-language individuals, use {{tl|Infobox Chinese}} for <code>|module=</code> instead. For Korean-language individuals, use {{tl|Infobox Korean name}} for <code>|module=</code> instead.

=== native_name_lang ===
<span style="background:#F0E68C">This field is only relevant for individuals.</span>
[[List of ISO 639-2 codes|ISO 639-2 code]]. E.g., "fre" or "fra" for French. If more than one, use {{tl|lang}} for {{Para|native_name}} instead

=== birth_name ===
<span style="background:#F0E68C">This field is only relevant for individuals.</span>
The person's name at birth

=== alias ===
For listing {{em|official}} [[stage name]]s for the act or solo artist other than the name in the {{para|name}} parameter. Also for the solo artist's [[legal name]](s), or other officially authorized names that differ from their birth name. This field is not for nicknames such as "The Godfather of Soul" ([[James Brown]]) or "Nippy" ([[Whitney Houston]]), which are not the artists' {{em|official}} names.

=== birth_date ===
<span style="background:#F0E68C">This field is only relevant for individuals.</span>
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).
<pre>{{Birth date and age|Year|Month|Day}}</pre>

=== birth_place ===
<span style="background:#F0E68C">This field is only relevant for individuals.</span>
The artist's place of birth. For "United States" and "United Kingdom", it is preferred that they be abbreviated "U.S." and "UK", but political subdivisions should never be (never "MA" for "Massachusetts", "ON" for "Ontario", etc.). See Notes{{r|location}} for details. Do not add a flag icon. (see field "[[Template:Infobox musical artist/doc#origin|origin]]" below).
<pre>[[City]], State/Province, Country</pre>

=== 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 "U.S." and "UK", but political subdivisions should never be (never "MA" for "Massachusetts", "ON" for "Ontario", etc.). See Notes{{r|location}} for details. Do not add a flag icon. Omit the country if it does not differ from that specified at the field "birth_place". 
<pre>[[City]], State/Province, Country</pre>

=== death_date ===
<span style="background:#F0E68C">This field is only relevant for individuals.</span>
The artist's date of death (same format as birth_date; but use {{tl|Death date and age}}).

=== death_place ===
<span style="background:#F0E68C">This field is only relevant for individuals.</span>
The artist's place of death (same format as birth_place).  For "United States" and "United Kingdom", it is preferred that they be abbreviated "U.S." and "UK", but political subdivisions should never be (never "MA" for "Massachusetts", "ON" for "Ontario", etc.). See Notes{{r|location}} for details. Do not add a flag icon. Omit the country if it does not differ from that specified at the field "birth_place". 

=== 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.

=== occupation ===
<span style="background:#f0e68c">This field is only relevant for individuals.</span>
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}}

=== instrument ===
<span style="background:#F0E68C">This field is only relevant for individuals.</span>
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> and/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.

=== years_active ===
Period(s) during which the act was or has been active. Only calendar year ranges or a single calendar year should be listed; for example, do not distinguish between the period [[Paul McCartney]] was in [[the Beatles]] and his solo career. Use commas, {{tl|Flatlist}}, or {{tl|Hlist}}}.{{r|lists}} to separate non-consecutive periods, and denote ranges with an unspaced [[en dash]] (e.g. {{nowrap|1993–2004, 2005–present}}). See [[WP:DATE#Longer periods]] and [[WP:MOS#En dashes]].

=== label ===
The record label or labels to which the act has been signed. Omit parenthetical dates; save that information for the main article as this degree of detail is better discussed in prose. [[MOS:PIPEDLINK|Pipe out]] "Records", "Entertainment", "Music" or similar words from the end of any label's name. For example, use <code><nowiki>[[Universal Records|Universal]]</nowiki></code> rather than <code><nowiki>[[Universal Records]]</nowiki></code>. Separate multiple entries by using commas, {{tl|Flatlist}}, or {{tl|Hlist}}.{{r|lists}} Start with the oldest first.

=== associated_acts ===
This field is for professional relationships with other musicians or bands that are significant and notable to this artist's career.

This field can include, for example, any of the following:
* For individuals: groups of which they have been a member
* Acts with which this act has collaborated on multiple occasions, or on an album, or toured with as a single collaboration act playing together
* Groups which have spun off from this group
* A group from which this group has spun off

Separate multiple entries by using commas, {{tl|Flatlist}}, or {{tl|Hlist}}.{{r|lists}}

As per [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists]] and [[WP:Bandname]], use [[sentence case]] for lists of band names. Example: The Rolling Stones, the Beatles, the Who

The following uses of this field should be avoided:
* For groups: the solo careers of its members
* Groups with only one member in common
* Association of producers, managers, etc. (who are themselves acts) with other acts (unless the act essentially belongs to the producer, as in the case of a studio orchestra formed by and working exclusively with a producer)
* One-time collaboration for a single song
* Groups that have played or toured together as separate acts
* Groups that are merely similar

=== website ===
The {{em|single}} web address for the act's primary {{em|official}} website. Use {{tl|URL}} as <nowiki>{{URL|www.example.com}} </nowiki>. {{tl|Official URL}} can be used to automatically fetch the web address from Wikidata.

=== current_members ===
<span style="background:{{Infobox musical artist/color|group_or_band}}">This field is only relevant for active groups.</span>
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,
<pre style="overflow:auto">
| current_members =
* Member 1
* Member 2
* Member 3
</pre>

=== past_members ===
<span style="background:{{Infobox musical artist/color|group_or_band}}">This field is only relevant for groups.</span>
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. Can also be given as {{para|former_members}}. Separate multiple entries using [[Help:list|<nowiki>*</nowiki> list markup]]. For example,
<pre style="overflow:auto">
| past_members = 
* Member 1
* Member 2
* Member 3
</pre>

== Notes ==
{{Reflist|refs=
<ref name="lists">For short horizontal lists of two or three items, comma separators are acceptable, but for longer lists the use of {{tl|Flatlist}} or {{tl|Hlist}} is preferred as they offer a benefit to users of screen readers. Vertical lists should always be implemented by {{tl|Plainlist}} or {{tl|Unbulleted list}} and never by {{tag|br|s}} tags for reasons of [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility#Vertical lists|accessibility]].</ref>
<ref name="location">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. {{xt|New Hampshire}} rather than {{!xt|NH}}, {{xt|New South Wales}} rather than {{!xt|NSW}}, or {{xt|British Columbia}} rather than {{!xt|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.
