Template:TrackListEntry
From Video Game Music Preservation Foundation Wiki
This template is used to start a table of song recordings. It is combined with Template:TrackListBegin and Template:TrackListEnd to produce the full table of recordings.
Tables produced with this template contain structured data allowing search engines to list the recordings directly in the search results.
The following parameters are valid:
Parameter | Example | Purpose |
---|---|---|
Track | Track = 1 | Track number (do not use leading zeroes). |
Title | Title = A Song | Song title. |
TitleLink (optional) | TitleLink = A Song (Example Game) | Link to the song's page, if it is different to the song title. Only use this if the page for the song is actually named differently to the song title, and the page cannot be renamed. The default link is:
Only use this parameter where it is not possible to rename the song page so that it fits the standard wiki naming scheme. |
Composer | Composer = {{TrackListComposer|John Doe}} Composer = {{TrackListComposer|Johnny Doe|John Doe}}, {{TrackListComposer|Bob Smith|Robert Smith}} |
Name of the composer(s). Only one Composer option can be specified, so multiple composers should be comma separated. Remember to surround composer names with the Template:TrackListComposer template. Template use is {{TrackListComposer|Credited name|Article name}} where the credited name is as per the game credits, and the article name is the destination wiki page to link to. The article name parameter can be omitted when it is the same as the credited name. |
DurationMin DurationSec |
DurationMin = 1 DurationSec = 23 |
Length of the song, split into minutes and seconds as separate parameters. The example produces a song length of 1:23. |
Size | Size = 2 MB | Size of the audio recording, in "pretty" values (kB, MB, etc.) |
Game | Game = Example Game | Name of the game this song is from. This is used to populate the 'album' fields. |
Platform | Platform = DOS | Game platform. This is used to populate the 'album' fields. |
Recording (optional) | Recording = Filename.ogg | Filename of the recording. Avoid using this parameter if possible. The default filename is "Track - Game - Platform - Title.ogg" with Track padded with a leading zero if needed, so it is always two digits long. |
Example
This code:
{{TrackListBegin}} {{TrackListEntry | Track = 1 | Title = Example | Composer = {{TrackListComposer|[[John Doe]]}} | DurationMin = 1 | DurationSec = 23 | Size = 1.23 MB | Game = Example | Platform = DOS }} {{TrackListEnd}}
Will appear as:
# | Title | Composer | Length | Listen | Download |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
01 | Example | [[John Doe|John Doe]] | 1:23 | Download |
