Template:Uses Infobox person

Template:Tracks Wikidata

This infobox is for classical composers. Note that most of the fields are optional and that they should only be used as necessary. This box was created as a result of extended debate in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Composers/Infoboxes RfC; most of the participants there felt strongly that infoboxes should generally be avoided in articles on classical composers and requested that each proposed inclusion should be assessed on a case-by-case basis on that article's talkpage. See also the Composer project guidelines. Please note that only free-content images are allowed for depicting living people - see WP:NONFREE.

Longer examples

Examples with more of the fields used, some of which are disputable/inapplicable in any given article.

Use with caution and consensus.

The additional fields here, are: |honorific_prefix=, |honorific_suffix=, |baptised=, |flourished=, |notable_family=, and |occupations=.

Fields that are specifically excluded

Note - the Composers project RfC on infoboxes concluded that this box should remain minimal; the following fields were felt to be ambiguous or otherwise unhelpful:

  • Instruments – because most composers play a few instruments. Any prominent instances can be added to the "Other occupations" field (e.g. [[Organist]], [[Cello|Cellist]], [[Horn (instrument)|Horn player]]).
  • Nationality, ethnicity, religious affiliation – too troublesome. Different sources will often give different details or emphasis.
  • Teachers, Students, Collaborators, Employers – too indefinite. Could hypothetically include anything from week-long to lifetime-long relationships.
  • Main cities of residence – too indefinite.
  • Styles/schools – e.g. Verismo, Futurism, etc. Too ambiguous, and often only apply to single works, instead of whole careers.
  • Genres – e.g. Symphonic, Chamber music, Opera, etc. Too ambiguous, and often only apply to single works, instead of whole careers.
  • Labels – because even authors do not have their publishers listed in their infoboxes (only the books themselves do). Seems non-essential for an infobox.
  • Associated_acts – generally inapplicable, except to contemporary composers. Also, the word "acts" is too ambiguous.
  • Alias – generally inapplicable. Even articles on jazz royalty do not normally use nicknames in their infoboxes unless the nickname is used almost exclusively in preference to the given name.
  • URL – Very few classical composers who ceased working before the 1990s have a website that qualifies as an official website. For those that do, use {{Infobox person}} or {{Infobox musical artist}}.
