Details

Try to fill in as many of the details as you can. 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.

Name 
The name of the single. This field is mandatory.
Cover 
Upload a copy of the single cover (under fair use - use the tag "{{albumcover}}"). Ideally the image should be 200px wide. Enter the file name only into the field: <Image Name>.jpg.
Artist 
The name of the artist. This field is mandatory.
A-side 
Should only be used if there is a record title distinct from the A-side.
Released 
Should refer to the earliest known date, using a single occurrence of {{Start date}} as {{Start date|YYYY|MM|DD}}, for example "{{Start date|2007|7|31}}". (Use "{{Start date|YYYY|MM}}" if only year and month are known, or "{{Start date|YYYY}}" for just a year).
Recorded 
Should include details on where and when the song was recorded.
Length 
Should be formatted as mm:ss.
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. Drop words like "Records" from the end of the label's name (e.g. use [[Universal Records|Universal]] rather than [[Universal Records]]).
Producer 
Not necessarily the same as the "Artist" field.
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. Note the usage of bullets in the code. For example:
* 1 <small>([[Italy]], [[UK Singles Chart]])</small>
Misc 
Allows you to provide additional table data (additional chronologies using {{Extra chronology 2}} or {{Extra album cover 2}} for example).

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 "Last single=" field) should be left blank.
  • For latest singles, the right box (the "Next single=" field) should be left blank.

Wikipedia's date style guidelines recommend that years should not be linked within the chronology section.
