{{Discogs artist}} generates links to artist discographies at Discogs.com.

Other Discogs templates: Template:Discogs release, Template:Discogs label

Usage

Code:

{{Discogs artist | artist = urlcode | name = {{subst:PAGENAME}} }}

Placement:

  • This template is an external links template and should be placed in the "External links" section of a musical artist's page.

Instructions

  1. Find the appropriate artist at discogs.com.
  2. The page URL should look like http://www.discogs.com/artist/xxxxx, where "xxxxx" indicates the artist's name.
  3. Copy ONLY the name (be sure that you didn't copy the / right before it)
  4. Add to the external links section the text:
{{discogs artist | artist = xxxxx | name = yyyyy }}
Where "xxxxx" is the name you've copied and "yyyyy" is the name you would like to display.

Example

  1. Search for "The Postal Service" on discogs.com, and you will reach this page: http://www.discogs.com/artist/Postal+Service,+The
  2. Copy "Postal+Service,+The" and then write:
{{Discogs artist | artist = Postal+Service,+The | name = The Postal Service}}

The result is:

The Postal Service at Discogs

Note that, since this will almost certainly go on the external link section, you should add a * before the template text to include it as a list item.
