Template:Metacritic album
Metacritic album at Metacritic
This is a template to generate links to Metacritic. This template should be used exclusively for ALBUM TITLES, that is, specifically for music.
- To link a film, use {{metacritic film}} instead.
- To link a made-for-tv movie, miniseries, or television series, use {{metacritic television}} instead.
- To link a video game, use {{metacritic video game}} instead.
Usage change
- Vertical layout
{{Metacritic album
| id =
| title =
| accessdate =
}}
- Horizontal layout
{{Metacritic album |id= |title= |accessdate= }}
Further Instructions change
- Search on metacritic.com for the title you want.
- Click on the correct link to go to the album's page.
- The page URL for an album should look like http://www.metacritic.com/music/TTTTTTT, with the TTTTTT being the album's title as used in the MetaCritic link (usually the album title in lower case with hyphens substituted for spaces).
- Copy ONLY that text that follows http://www.metacritic.com/music/
- Add to the external links section the text:
{{Metacritic album|id=TTTTTTT|title=Example}}
- You may define an access date also, using the following:
{{Metacritic album|id=TTTTTTT|title=Example|accessdate=YYYY-MM-DD}}- The title field is completely optional, and will default to the Wikipedia article title if left out.
- accessdate is also an optional parameter, this will simply not be shown if not supplied.
Example change
- For the page My Best Friend Is You, a search on Metacritic in the Music area gets you to this page: http://www.metacritic.com/music/my-best-friend-is-you
- Copy "my-best-friend-is-you" and then use it for the ID:
{{Metacritic album|id=my-best-friend-is-you}}
The result on the article page is:
