Template:Extra chronology/doc

Usage
Extra chronologies may be added to Infobox album and Infobox single, depending on which version of this template is used. Both add the proper header, color, and formatting (depending on the type designation) and are added to the infoboxes in the misc field.

If this template is substituted, it will return a cleaned-up copy of itself (see Substitution trick) with unnecessary parameters removed and deprecated parameters replaced. Parameter indentation will also automatically be fixed.

Infobox album version
The album version provides the previous, current, and next albums and the years of their release. The titles appear in italics, with the current title also in bold. Extra formatting does not usually need to be added.


 * Code :


 * artist : The name of the artist, with,  , etc., appended to produce either "Artist live album chronology", "Artist EP chronology", etc.  If just the artist's name is used, the header will display "Artist chronology".
 * type : Specify,  ,  , etc., as detailed in Infobox album/doc/type – this triggers the header color and formatting.
 * prev_title : Enter the name of the previous album. If it has a WP article, add a link.
 * prev_year : The year the previous album was released.
 * title : Enter the name of the current or article title. This should not be wikilinked, since it should be the subject of the article.
 * year : The year the current album was released.
 * next_title : Enter the name of the next album and link as appropriate.
 * next_year : The year the next album was released.
 * Notes : All parameters are optional except title and type. Horizontal lines replace the header row if you omit artist.

Infobox single version
In addition to providing the previous, current, and next singles and the years of their release, the single version allows two song titles to be entered. This is useful for double A-side singles, such as "Ruby Tuesday"/"Let's Spend the Night Together". The titles appear in quotes, with the current title also in bold. Extra formatting does not usually need to be added.


 * Code :


 * artist : Enter the name of the artist to produce "Artist singles chronology". (The word "singles" is automatically added for singles chronologies.) Adding,  , etc. after "Artist" will display "Artist American singles chronology", "Artist UK singles chronology", etc.
 * type : Specify.
 * prev_title : Enter the name of the previous single. If it has a WP article, add a link.
 * prev_title2 : Leave blank, unless the previous is a double A-side single. Then enter the name of the previous single second or flip side and link as appropriate.
 * prev_year : The year the previous single was released.
 * title : Enter the name of the current or article title. This should not be wikilinked, since it should be the subject of the article.
 * title2 : Leave blank, unless it is a double A-side single. Then enter the name of the second or flip side of current or article title.
 * year : The year the current single was released.
 * next_title : Enter the name of the next single. If it has a article, add a link.
 * next_title2 : Enter the name of the second or flip side of next single, if it is a double-A. Link as appropriate.
 * next_year : The year the next single was released.
 * Notes : All parameters are optional except title and type. Horizontal lines replace the header row if you omit artist.
