• Current edits are to deal with the fact that it's being used. iMeowbot~Mw 11:59, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums for guidance on styles and colors.

At the moment, reviews are not formatted the same way they appear when using the boilerplate from Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums. We would like to fix this without having to invoke multiple templates. A good solution for that hasn't yet been found.

• 2005.04.19 : I'm listing/proposing various alternative usages of the template, summarized in two new sections below the normal ones (it's also used live on Furious Angels): the pipes are less cumbersome and more regular at the beginning of lines than the end (the generated HTML code is identical); for multi-lines values, the empty HTML comments allows to replace a BR with a new line still aligned with the others values. Links to MetaCritic (or Buy.com) would be tagged "meta-link" instead of "link" (which are direct links to the review); the orders of parameters is slightly changed, based on the visual (cover= goes right after Name=); for the start of a chronology the first cell displays a visual " [ ", for the end of a live chronology it's a visual " . . . ", and for the end of a closed one it's " ] ". 213.228.60.174 12:57, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
