Introduction

This page shows you how to format listings for soundtrack albums.

Page Title

• If the soundtrack has music from multiple artists, the artist's section of the page name should be omitted. Simply use the official album title and the year of the album's release:

Earth Girls Are Easy (1989)

Please note that add-on phrases, such as (OST) and (Original Soundtrack), etc. are not necessary and should not be used unless part of the official title of the soundtrack.

• If the soundtrack was performed by a single artist, name the page as for an album:

Air:The Virgin Suicides (2000)

As always, capitalize the first letter in every word in the page title as shown at Page Names.

Template

The following is a generic template of how the Album page should be formatted for soundtrack albums. Replace the sections in <<>> with the correct information and remove the <<>> completely.

For the SType (soundtrack type) parameter choose either:

1. Disney
2. Movie
3. Musical
4. TV Series
5. Video Game

If the soundtrack was performed by multiple artists

{{Album|Type=Soundtrack
|Artist    = various artists
|Album     = <<Album Title>>
|fLetter   = <<First Letter of album title>>
|Released  = <<Soundtrack Release Year>>
|SType     = <<Soundtrack Type>>
|Length    = <<mm:ss>>
|Cover     = <<Image Name.jpg>>
|Wikipedia = <<Wikipedia Page Name>> 
|star      = <<Violet, Green, Bronze, Silver or Gold>>
}}

# '''[[<<Artist 1>>:<<Song 1>>|<<Song 1>>]]''' by [[<<Artist 1>>]]
# '''[[<<Artist 2>>:<<Song 2>>|<<Song 2>>]]''' by [[<<Artist 2>>]]

{{AlbumFooter
|akuma       = <<akuma.de Code>>
|asin        = <<Amazon.com asin Code>>
|iTunes      = <<iTunes Code>>
|allmusic    = <<AllMusic Code>>
|discogs     = <<Discogs Code>>
|musicbrainz = <<MusicBrainz Code>>
}}

If the soundtrack was performed by a single artist

{{Album|Type=Soundtrack
|Artist    = <<Artist Name>>
|Album     = <<Album Title>>
|fLetter   = <<First Letter of album title>>
|Released  = <<Soundtrack Release Year>>
|SType     = <<Soundtrack Type>>
|Length    = <<mm:ss>>
|Cover     = <<Image Name.jpg>>
|Wikipedia = <<Wikipedia Page Name>> 
|star      = <<Violet, Green, Bronze, Silver or Gold>>
}}

# '''[[<<Artist>>:<<Song 1>>|<<Song 1>>]]''' 
# '''[[<<Artist>>:<<Song 2>>|<<Song 2>>]]''' 

{{AlbumFooter
