Parameters

The purpose of this list is to set more detailed guidelines for the content of the {{Infobox Musical}} template. The purpose of detailing the template is to further Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicals's goal of standardizing Wikipedia's musical theatre articles. Please leave feedback on the talk page.

name
The title of the musical
subtitle
Usually, "The Musical" or similar language.
image
Acceptable images may include:
  • Promotional posters
  • CD covers
  • Playbill covers
  • Logos
Note: If no image is present, the page is added to Category:Musical theatre articles missing an image in infobox
image_size
Use to reduce the image to a size, generally between 150px and 260px, that keeps it from becoming distorted. To use actual size of the stored image, put: image_size=0 (default: 215px). Allows alias spelling as keyword "imagesize". NOTE - this parameter is REQUIRED for the image to display correctly
caption
Explanation of image. Please be brief ("Original Cast Recording" or "Logo"...); however, for fair-use images, include production date/name or for attribution, state name of artist(s).
music
The composer. Several composers should be separated using {{Plainlist}}. Should the music be credited as an adaptation, the original composer should be listed first, a line break, a bolded (triple-apostrophe) heading with the words " ' ' ' Adapted by: ' ' ' ", another line-break, and the adapters.
lyrics
The name of the lyricist, with caveats as for the music field.
book
The name of the book-writer, with caveats as above.
basis
This section should be included if the musical was based either directly or indirectly on another source.
Include:
  • Type of source of original (novel, play, movie, opera, etc.)
  • Name of original work
  • Author/composer of original work
Example: basis = {{Based on|Opera ''[[La boheme]]''|[[Giacomo Puccini]]}}
setting
The places and time where the musical takes place.
premiere_date
Date of the official premiere. use {{Start date}}
premiere_location
Venue or city of the premiere. See Notes[1] for location details.
productions
A list of productions, listed chronologically.
  • Broadway (or off-Broadway) & West End productions
  • Notable professional tours
  • Notable professional revivals
  • Notable professional international productions & tours
  • Notable professional concerts & special performances
  • No amateur productions (i.e. High school, community theater group productions, etc.)
  • Previews may be discussed under the History/Background section of the article.
For each production, include:
  • Start year only
  • Location. See Notes[1] for location details.
    • For non-touring productions, write "Broadway", "West End", or the city and country of production.
    • For tours, write the country of the tour
  • Type of production (tour, concert etc.) for anything other than a fully-staged, non-touring production.
Example:
productions = {{Plainlist|
* 1996 [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]]
* 2000 [[Barcelona]], [[Spain]]
* 2001 [[United Kingdom|UK]] tour
* 2006 [[Manila]], [[Philippines]] concert}}
awards
  • These awards should exclude production-specific awards (i.e., lighting, direction, scenery, acting awards).
  • Include year of award. The year is listed before the award in each line.
Example: awards=1996 [[Tony Award for Best Book]]
Awards to be included:
boxwidth
The width of the infobox (default: 22em).

Controlling line-breaking in embedded bulletless lists

Template {{nbsp}} may be used with {{wbr}} and {{nowrap}} to control line-breaking in bulletless lists embedded in the infobox (e.g. a {{plainlist}} in the |book= parameter), to prevent wrapped long entries from being confused with multiple entries. See Template:Wbr/doc#Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes for details.

Notes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 As per RfC "Naming countries in infoboxes": When identifying a location, city or region in the United States or United Kingdom, the preferred approach is to use the country abbreviations allowed by MOS:ACRO, such as "Portsmouth, New Hampshire, U.S." and "Cardiff, Wales, UK", rather than spelling out the full country name. Avoid using abbreviations for states or provinces in all nations. New Hampshire rather than NH, New South Wales rather than NSW, or British Columbia rather than BC (see MOS:POSTABBR). Cities such as New York City and London may be rendered as "New York City, U.S." and "London, UK" or simply "New York City" and "London". Also, these should not be linked when the context makes it clear (see MOS:OVERLINK). If only the country name is included, it may be written out in full.

Microformat

The HTML mark-up produced by this template includes an hCalendar microformat that makes event details readily parsable by computer programs. This aids tasks such as the cataloguing of articles and maintenance of databases. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please visit the Microformat WikiProject.

The HTML classes of this microformat include:

  • attendee
  • contact
  • description
  • dtend
  • dtstart
  • location
  • organiser
  • summary
  • url
  • vevent
Please do not rename or remove these classes
nor collapse nested elements which use them.
