What about adding the key signature?
editWhat about adding the key signature of a song? Abhiramakella (talk) 14:54, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- @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)
Remove unused capitalized aliases

|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)
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)
New parametre - Single
editAs 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)
- You can already do that by entering "single" in
|type=. Richard3120 (talk) 21:16, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- @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)
- Well, I would just blank
|album=and change|type=to "single"... I don't agree with the description of "Bubble Gum" as the B-side to "How Sweet" anyway, because they appear to be two songs on a single album, with equal billing for both songs. Richard3120 (talk) 21:46, 16 June 2024 (UTC)

Uncredited producer
editIf a song has no credited producer, should something be placed in the producer box? I feel like putting something like "uncredited" or "unknown" would make it clear that there genuinely is no producer credit, as opposed to an editor simply forgetting to put the producer credit in when making the infobox. Off the top of my head, I know Take a Knee, My Ass (I Won't Take a Knee) and All Cried Out (Kree Harrison song) did not have producer credits, and both currently use "unknown" in that field.
