Usage[edit source]
Below are four versions of this template useful for different purposes. The first is for general use with {{Infobox single}}. The second is the same, but is used to display the entire track listing of an album. The third is for use with {{Infobox song}}, where several versions have been recorded. The fourth is the same, and again is for displaying the entire track listing of an album. Please see the "Notes" section below for additional information regarding usage.

Notes[edit source]
- The "Tracks" field must never be used with the "prev_track", "this_track" and "next_track" fields, as this will result in a display error.
- The {{Infobox song}} versions may also be used with the {{Infobox single}} template if other versions/variations of the same song have been recorded. In this situation, the first version of this template should be used first (representing the single's album) and the third version should be used afterward (representing recordings on other albums). See "Bring Me to Life" for this use of the code in action.
Type[edit source]
The "Type" field refers to the type of the outer infobox and is used to set the background color of the section header. Use |Type=single when {{Extra track listing}} is used with {{Infobox single}}. Use |Type=song when {{Extra track listing}} is used with {{Infobox song}}. This keeps the section header background colors consistent; the infobox is about the single or the song, and not about the album(s) where it appears.
