Description of suggested change:
I would like to create an "albums" parameter for songs which appear on multiple albums. Examples of pages which could use this parameter: Muñecas (song), Outside (Calvin Harris song). SaltieChips (talk) 13:25, 1 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Muñecas has a workaround: [[Cupido (album)|Cupido]] ''and'' [[Hiroquest 2: Double Helix]]. Would you want only the word 'album' in the infobox be changed to a plural if an |albums= parameter is used? SWinxy (talk) 03:02, 2 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Yes, perhaps an ''and'' would default to a plural. SaltieChips (talk) 12:00, 6 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
That is not what was suggested by Swinxy. The suggestion is that |album= works as normal with Album, but |albums=Cupido and Hiroquest 2: Double Helix will change the label to Albums — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:28, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Deactivating edit request pending a reply. In any event this would need to be sandboxed and tested before being implemented. * Pppery *it has begun... 00:50, 31 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Abhiramakella: I think this would be impossible to do – many songs change key throughout the song, and in addition, different versions of the song are often in different keys. Richard3120 (talk) 01:00, 2 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
|Released=, |Type=, |Artist= – these aliases are no longer used anywhere[1] and are not needed in the code. Solidest (talk) 04:04, 19 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
Done. Those braces are pretty nested, and the template has many parameter checks, so let me know if I missed anything. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:45, 19 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

As not all song are from albums, I think "single" should be applied when there is no corresponding album. For example, Bubble Gum by NewJeans corresponds with the single How Sweet, not the album How Sweet, as there is no album by that name. ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 14:22, 15 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
You can already do that by entering "single" in |type=. Richard3120 (talk) 21:16, 15 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Richard3120: That's different. It currently reads "Single by NewJeans from the album How Sweet", which implies there is an album called "How Sweet", which isn't true. I'd like it to be ""Song by NewJeans from the single How Sweet", as that is more accurate. ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 08:55, 16 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
