Template:Extra chronology
Usage
changeExtra chronologies may be added to {{Infobox album}} and {{Infobox single}}, depending on which version of this template is used. Both add the proper header, color, and formatting (depending on the |type= designation) and are added to the infoboxes in the |misc= field.
If this template is substituted, it will return a cleaned-up copy of itself (see Wikipedia:Substitution trick) with unnecessary parameters removed and deprecated parameters replaced. Parameter indentation will also automatically be fixed.
Infobox album version

|---|---|---|---|---|

The album version provides the previous, current, and next albums and the years of their release. The titles appear in italics, with the current title also in bold. Extra formatting does not usually need to be added.
