Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums - Discography

Discography

There are no explicit guidelines on how to incorporate an album article in a discography. Of course, there are several ways how it can be done. In all cases, please keep the following hints in mind:

• sort the albums, e.g. ascending by date (since a discography is in some sense a chronology),
• if you use tables, use wikicode, to make the list easier to maintain.

A simple way to list albums could be:

• first album (year of release)
• second album (year of release)

Note that album titles should be in italics and only albums, not release years, should be linked.

A different way using a table could be:

Title	Release date	Notes	Label
Firstname	1999-01-01	first studio album	Label name
Secondname	2000-01-01	another note	Label name

Most album covers are non-free images, and are not permitted in discographies (or any other gallery or list). See Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria #8 and Wikipedia:Non-free content#Acceptable_images for clarification of this policy.
