Sample

edit

When used with {{Infobox Single}} code similar to the this:

{{Infobox Single
| Cover = <!--This is not the original cover!-->
| Name = Under Pressure
| B-side = Soul Brother
| Released = [[26 October]] [[1981]]
| Format = [[Vinyl record|7" single]]
| Recorded = Mountain Studios, [[Montreux]], July [[1981]]
| Genre = [[Rock (music)|Rock]]
| Length = 4:02
| Label = [[EMI]]
| Producer = [[Queen (band)|Queen]], [[David Bowie]]
| Artist = [[Queen (band)|Queen]] and [[David Bowie]]
| from Album = [[Hot Space]]
| Chronology = [[Queen (band)|Queen]]
| Last single = "[[Flash (song)|Flash]]"<br />(1980)
| This single = "Under Pressure"<br />(1981)</small>
| Next single = "[[Body Language (song)|Body Language]]"<br />(1982)
| Misc = {{Extra chronology
  | Artist = [[David Bowie]]
  | Type = singles
  | Last single = "[[Up the Hill Backwards]]"<br />(1981)
  | This single = "Under Pressure"<br />(1981)
  | Next single = "[[Wild Is the Wind (David Bowie song)|Wild Is the Wind]]"<br />(1981)
  }}
}}

Can produce output like this:

"Extra chronology/Archive 1"
Song
B-side"Soul Brother"


Also with {{Infobox Single}}, you can use code like this:

{{Extra chronology
| Artist = Barenaked Ladies
| Type = singles
| Last single    = "[[Enid (song)|Enid]]"<br />(1992)
| This single    = "'''Brian Wilson'''"<br />(1992)
| Next single    = "[[What a Good Boy]]"<br />(1992)
}}{{Extra chronology
| Last single    = "[[The Old Apartment]]"<br />(1997)
| This single    = "'''Brian Wilson 2000'''"<br />(1997)
| Next single    = "[[One Week]]"<br />(1998)
}}

To produce output like this:

"Extra chronology/Archive 1"
Song

Discussion

Square brackets in the instructions

edit

Are we leaving the brackets in the usage instructions, or should they be removed, as with Template:Infobox Single? Flowerparty 23:46, 25 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Broken

edit

Could some please revert the last change by Ed g2s again? It still seems to break all usages of Infobox Single that use the chronology... --Fritz S. (Talk) 18:10, 6 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

This is urgent, he also broke any use of {{Album infobox}} with a second chonrology field. — Ian Moody (talk) 19:23, 6 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
reverted. Flowerparty 20:15, 6 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Valign

edit

"center" is no a valid value for the valign attribute. I suppose it should be valign="middle". --Stijn Vermeeren 11:28, 5 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Background field

edit

A concern was raised recently over at the Wikiproject talk page for albums, regarding the clash observed when this template is used in articles. Is there any particular reason '#ffff00' was the assigned value for the background? Is it possible to have the background be determined by the the album infobox background instead? --Cheers, Folajimi (leave a note) 15:16, 27 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

1987 (What the Fuck Is Going On?) has a problem connected to this. As well as being an album, it needs an entry in the singles chronology (an edited version was released as a 45). The colour is wrong, but with the album infobox colours in a state of flux at the moment changing it manually wouldn't be a great idea.... can this be fixed? --kingboyk 14:13, 29 September 2006 (UTC) See also {{Infobox Album/color}} --kingboyk 16:35, 29 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Text Size

edit

In a regular single infobox the previous, current, and next single are in small text size, but when the Extra Chronology is used, it's regular sized. Shouldn't they match up and both be small>? --Thankyoubaby 15:25, 3 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I agree. It's fixed now. --Kristbg 22:17, 3 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Colour help with Extra track listing

edit

Could someone possibly go over to the {{Extra tracklisting}} template and add a Type field similar to this template? To distinguish track listings of EPs, compilations etc. -- Reaper X 19:27, 25 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Get documentation to subpage

edit

{{editprotected}} Could we move the documentation to a subpage, Template:Extra chronology/doc? --Lockal (talk) 17:57, 9 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Done. Flowerparty 18:09, 9 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
