Usage   adds an infobox to the article page of a record label. The template's code should go at the top of the page, before the article lead section, but below disambiguation notices (see also WP:WAI).  Pre-filled sample  For simple use, you can directly cut-n-paste the sample code below (filling in the relevant fields, deleting the irrelevant fields, and leaving out with their self-documentation comments the fields you don't know or that can be used later):  {{Infobox record label <!-- See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Music --> | name        = <!-- "label name" displayed in box title, defaults to page title --> | image       = <!-- logo, such as "LABEL-LOGO.jpg" --> | image_size  = <!-- size --> | image_alt   = <!-- WP:ALT text describing the image --> | caption     = <!-- a caption for the image --> | parent      = <!-- parent company, such as "[[Warner Music Group]]" --> | founded     = <!-- year of foundation, such as {{start date|1950}} --> | founder     = <!-- name of founders, separate with commas or <br /> --> | defunct     = <!-- year the label dissolved, such as {{end date|1990}} --> | status      = <!-- leave blank unless "Inactive" --> | distributor = <!-- distributors, separate with commas or <br /> --> | genre       = <!-- such as "[[World music|World]]" or "Various", separate with commas or <br /> --> | country     = <!-- origin, such as "U.S." or "{{Flag|Turkey}}" --> | location    = <!-- headquarters city and state --> | website     = <!-- such as "{{URL|www.atlanticrecords.com}}" --> }}  Empty sample  If you already know exactly what goes into each field, this version too can be cut-n-pasted directly into your article and filled on the spot, without having to delete the helper comments as you fill it:  {{Infobox record label <!-- See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Music --> | name        =  | image       =  | image_size  = | image_alt   = | caption     =   | parent      =  | founded     = <!-- {{Start date|YYYY}} --> | founder     =  | defunct     = <!-- {{End date|YYYY}} --> | status      =  | distributor =  | genre       =  | country     =  | location    =  | website     = <!-- {{URL|example.com}} --> }}  Fields  All fields are currently optional (in that not filling them won't cause a display error), but it is recommanded to try and fill as much as possible within sourced informations, especially founded and country. An empty {{Infobox record label}} will generate only the blue heading with the name of the article.   name  (Defaults to article name.) Label name displayed in infobox title.  image  Label logo, such as LABEL-LOGO.jpg.  image_size preferably between 100 pixels and 200 pixels wide, depending on its portrait or landscape orientation—default is 180px.  image_bg  (Defaults to "white".) Can be used to specify background color to display the image against. All CSS color specifiers may be used. However, it is generally recommended to leave it unspecified, so it will remain white as default.  parent  Parent company, such as [[Warner Music Group]].  founded  Foundation year, just 4 digits, such as "1950", using   founder  Name of founders, separate with commas or <br /> .  status  Leave blank unless Inactive or Defunct.  distributor  Distributors, separate with commas or <br /> .  genre  Such as [[World music|World]] or Various, separate with commas or <br /> .  country  Origin, such as [[United States|U.S.]] or {{Flag|Turkey}}.  location  Headquarters city and state.  url  Specifies official site of record label using {{[[Template:Url|Url}}, for example:  {{url|www.atlanticrecords.com}} (concise)  {{url|www.kalan.com/english/scripts|Kalan.com (English)}} (qualified)  Additional field not provided by default:   bgcolor  (Deprecated, defaults to "".) Background color for box title, not to be used unless justified need.  Example  {{Infobox record label <!-- See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Music --> | name        = Elektra Records | image_name  = Wikipedia-logo-en.png | image_size  = 100px | parent      = [[Warner Music Group]] | founded     = {{Start date|1950}} | founder     = [[Jac Holzman]]<br /> [[Paul Rickholt]] | distributor = [[Atlantic Records]] (in the [[United States|U.S.]])<br /> [[Warner Music Group|WEA]] (outside the [[United States|U.S.]]) | genre       = Various | country     = [[United States|U.S.]] | location    = [[New York, New York]] | url         = {{url|www.atlanticrecords.com}} }}  The above template code example produces the infobox displayed at right.   The actual logo is not displayed on this documentation page because of fair-use limitations (it can be used only to illustrate the article about it). A Wikipedia logo is used here to demonstrate logo use and placement.   Notice in the distributor field how you can go to a new line for a sub-item by hiding the newline in the middle of the <br /> . Doing so is not required (the founder field doesn't use it), and neither version affects the output, but it can make the wikicode more readable and editable with long sub-items.   Two fields have been deleted: image_bg (because the default white color is to be used here), and status (because the company is neither inactive nor defunct, and currently unlikely to require the field in the near future).  Categories  The template does not create any automatic categorization of the article. You have to add your article to the relevant categories. Suggested categories (and their subcategories) to investigate include:   One from :Category:Record labels by country  One from :Category:Record labels by parent  One from :Category:Record labels by year of establishment  One or more from :Category:Record labels by genre  Plus one or more possible special case such as:   :Category:Audiophile record labels  :Category:Defunct record labels  or if known :Category:Record labels by year of disestablishment  :Category:Record label distributors  :Category:Reissue record labels  And possibly more from:   :Category:Record labels   Microformat   See also           for individual artists, bands or collectives  WikiProject Music  WikiProject Musicians  Record label Record label *Infobox record label
