==Usage==
{{Parameter names example | name | image | image_size | image_alt | caption | parent | founded | defunct | founder | slogan | status | distributor | genre | country | location | website | misc }}

<code>{{tl|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}</code> adds an [[m:infobox|infobox]] to the article page of a [[record label]]. The template's code should go at the top of the page, before the article [[WP:LEAD|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):

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Infobox record label <!-- See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Music -->
| name        = <!-- "label name" displayed in box title, defaults to page title -->
| image       = <!-- logo, such as "LABEL-LOGO.svg" -->
| 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, separated by using commas, {{Flatlist}} or {{Hlist}} -->
| defunct     = <!-- year the label dissolved, such as {{end date|1990}} -->
| slogan      = <!-- advertising slogan or "motto" of the label, if any -->
| status      = <!-- leave blank unless "Inactive" -->
| distributor = <!-- distributors, separated by using commas, {{Flatlist}} or {{Hlist}} -->
| genre       = <!-- such as "[[World music|World]]" or "Various", separated by using commas, {{Flatlist}} or {{Hlist}} -->
| country     = <!-- origin, such as "United States" or "Turkey" -->
| location    = <!-- headquarters city and state -->
| website     = <!-- such as "{{URL|www.atlanticrecords.com}}" -->
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

===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:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
{{Infobox record label <!-- See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Music -->
| name        = 
| image       = 
| image_size  =
| image_alt   =
| caption     =  
| parent      = 
| founded     = <!-- {{Start date|YYYY}} -->
| founder     = 
| slogan      =
| defunct     = <!-- {{End date|YYYY}} -->
| status      = 
| distributor = 
| genre       = 
| country     = 
| location    = 
| website     = <!-- {{URL|example.com}} -->
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

===Fields===

All fields are currently optional (in that not filling them won't cause a display error), but it is recommended to try and fill as much as possible within sourced information, especially <code>founded</code> and <code>country</code>. An empty <nowiki>{{Infobox record label}}</nowiki> 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 <code>LABEL-LOGO.jpg</code>.
; image_size: preferably between 100 pixels and 200 pixels wide, depending on its portrait or landscape orientation—default is 180px.
; image_alt : [[Wikipedia:Alternative text for images|alternative text which describes the image]]
; caption : a caption for the image
; parent : Parent company, such as <code><nowiki>[[Warner Music Group]]</nowiki></code>.
; founded : Foundation year, just 4 digits, such as "1950", using {{Tl|Start date}}
; founder : Name of founders, separated by using commas, {{tl|Flatlist}} or {{tl|Hlist}}.
; slogan : If the label had a catch phrase, slogan or motto, list it here
; defunct : Dissolved year, just 4 digits, such as "1990", using {{tl|end date}}
; status : Leave blank unless <code>Inactive</code>.
; distributor : Distributors, separated by using commas, {{tl|Flatlist}} or {{tl|Hlist}}.
; genre : Such as <code><nowiki>[[World music|World]]</nowiki></code> or <code>Various</code>, separated by using commas, {{tl|Flatlist}} or {{tl|Hlist}}.
; country : The single country of origin, such as <code>United States</code> or <code>Turkey</code>. Do not use abbreviations unless absolutely necessary. Do not use flags per [[:WP:INFOBOXFLAG]].
; location : Headquarters city and state or province. Abbreviations, such as "MA" for "Massachusetts", "ON" for "Ontario", etc., should never be used.  See Notes{{r|location}} for details.
; website {{nobold|or}} url : Specifies official site of record label using {{[[Template:URL|URL}}, for example: <br /> <code><nowiki>{{URL|www.atlanticrecords.com}}</nowiki></code> (concise) <br /> <code><nowiki>{{URL|www.kalan.com/english/scripts|Kalan.com}}</nowiki></code> (qualified)

Additional field not provided by default:

; bgcolor : (Deprecated, defaults to "{{Colors|black|LightBlue|LightBlue}}".) Background color for box title, not to be used unless justified need.

Be careful not to use {{tl|small}} or <nowiki><small></nowiki> markup in the infobox as infoboxes already use smaller text than the article body and when the font is made too small it is difficult for those with accessibility needs to read.

==Example==

{{Infobox record label
| name        = Republic Records
| image_name  = Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.svg
| image_size  = 100px
| parent      = [[Universal Music Group]]
| founded     = {{Start date|1995}}
| founder     = {{hlist| [[Monte Lipman]] | Avery Lipman }}
| distributor = {{hlist| Universal Music Group (Worldwide) | [[Virgin EMI Records]] (in the UK) }}
| genre       = Various
| country     = United States
| location    = New York City
| website     = {{URL|www.republicrecords.com}}
}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto">
{{Infobox record label
| name        = Republic Records
| image_name  = Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.svg
| image_size  = 100px
| parent      = [[Universal Music Group]]
| founded     = {{Start date|1995}}
| founder     = {{hlist| [[Monte Lipman]] | Avery Lipman }}
| distributor = {{hlist| Universal Music Group (Worldwide) | [[Virgin EMI Records]] (in the UK) }}
| genre       = Various
| country     = United States
| location    = New York City
| website     = {{URL|www.republicrecords.com}}
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

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 <code>distributor</code> field how you can go to a new line for a sub-item by hiding the newline in the middle of the <code><nowiki><br /> </nowiki></code>. Doing so is not required (the <code>founder</code> 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 omitted in this example: <code>bgcolor</code> (because the default white color is to be used here), and <code>status</code> (because the company is neither inactive nor defunct, and currently unlikely to require the field in the near future).

== Notes ==
{{reflist |refs=
<ref name="location">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. {{xt|New Hampshire}} rather than {{!xt|NH}}, {{xt|New South Wales}} rather than {{!xt|NSW}}, or {{xt|British Columbia}} rather than {{!xt|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.
</ref>
|}
}}

==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]]
