Edit request 1 March 2024

Description of suggested change: I would like to create an "albums" parameter for songs which appear on multiple albums. Examples of pages which could use this parameter: Muñecas (song), Outside (Calvin Harris song). SaltieChips (talk) 13:25, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Muñecas has a workaround: [[Cupido (album)|Cupido]] ''and'' [[Hiroquest 2: Double Helix]]. Would you want only the word 'album' in the infobox be changed to a plural if an |albums= parameter is used? SWinxy (talk) 03:02, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
@SaltieChips: There is a reply here for you. SilverLocust 💬 04:59, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Yes, perhaps an ''and'' would default to a plural. SaltieChips (talk) 12:00, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
That is not what was suggested by Swinxy. The suggestion is that |album= works as normal with Album, but |albums=Cupido and Hiroquest 2: Double Helix will change the label to Albums — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:28, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Deactivating edit request pending a reply. In any event this would need to be sandboxed and tested before being implemented. * Pppery * it has begun... 00:50, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Some instances are not generating short descriptions

See Module talk:Is infobox in lead#When multiple infoboxes are present, the one in the lead does not appear to generate a short description for details. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:50, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

What about adding the key signature?

What about adding the key signature of a song? Abhiramakella (talk) 14:54, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

@Abhiramakella: I think this would be impossible to do – many songs change key throughout the song, and in addition, different versions of the song are often in different keys. Richard3120 (talk) 01:00, 2 April 2024 (UTC)

Remove unused capitalized aliases

|Released=, |Type=, |Artist= – these aliases are no longer used anywhere and are not needed in the code. Solidest (talk) 04:04, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

 Done. Those braces are pretty nested, and the template has many parameter checks, so let me know if I missed anything. – Jonesey95 (talk) 05:45, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
