====Details====
 
Try to fill in as many of the details as you can. The '''Released''' date should refer to the earliest known date. Similarly, '''Record label''' should refer to the label on which the single/album was originally released. Where significantly different versions have been released (featuring alternate track listings) e.g. U.S. vs. UK, the later release date and/or record label should be mentioned in the article. '''Recorded''' should include details on where and when the song was recorded. If you can't find out some details, leave the section blank or with "???" to make it easier for someone else to fill in later.
 
 
 
* All fields except '''Name''' and '''Artist''' are optional, and can be omitted if desired.
 
* The '''A-side''' field should only be used if there is a record title distinct from the A-side.
 
* '''Released''' should refer to the <em>earliest</em> known date, using a ''single'' occurrence of {{tl|Start date}} as <nowiki>{{Start date|YYYY|MM|DD}}</nowiki>, for example "<nowiki>{{Start date|2007|7|31}}</nowiki>". (Use "<nowiki>{{Start date|YYYY|MM}}</nowiki>" if only year and month are known, or "<nowiki>{{Start date|YYYY}}</nowiki>" for just a year).
 
* The '''Length''' field should be formatted as mm:ss.
 
* The '''Producer''' field is not necessarily the same as the '''Artist''' field.
 
* '''Misc''' allows you to provide additional table data (additional chronologies using {{tl|Extra chronology 2}} or {{tl|Extra album cover 2}} for example).
 
 
 
=====Cover=====
 
Again, similarly to the Albums project:
 
 
 
Upload a copy of the single cover (under [[fair use]] - use the tag "<nowiki>{{albumcover}}</nowiki>"). Ideally the image should be 200px wide. It can be added in the table with the code below:
 
 
 
:<nowiki><Image Name>.jpg</nowiki>
 
 
 
However, when the song wasn't released as a single, you should '''not''' use the album cover instead, as this is not compliant with our [[WP:FUC|fair-use criteria]].
 
 
 
=====Chart positions=====
 
The chart positions included should probably be for the artist's home chart and charts on which the single reached the [[Top 40]]. For USA chart entries, use the [[Billboard Hot 100]] which is the most comprehensive USA chart. Other U.S. chart positions may be included, indented. Charts should be listed in order of the single's position.
 
For example:
 
 
 
* 1 <small>([[Italy]], [[UK Singles Chart]])</small>
 
* 6 <small>([[USA]] [[Hot 100]])</small>
 
** 1 <small>([[Modern Rock Tracks]])</small>
 
* 9 <small>([[France]], [[Media Control|German Media Control Singles Chart]])</small>
 
* 17 <small>([[Canada]])</small>
 
 
 
Note the usage of bullets in the code.
 
 
 
<pre>
 
* 1 <small>([[Italy]], [[UK Singles Chart]])</small>
 
</pre>
 
 
 
====Chronology====
 
The chronology section should link to the previous single on the left and the next single on the right.
 
 
 
* For ''first'' singles the left box (the "<TT>Last single=</TT>" field) should be left blank.
 
* For ''latest'' singles, the right box (the "<TT>Next single=</TT>" field) should be left blank.
 
 
 
Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Date formatting|date style guidelines]] recommend that years should not be linked within the chronology section.
 
 
 
====Examples====
 
Here are some examples of articles using the infoboxes:
 
 
 
* "[[Country House (song)|Country House]]"
 
* "[[I Want to Hold Your Hand]]"
 
* "[[Smells Like Teen Spirit]]"
