| tab =
| label =
| first =
| last =
| accessdate =
}}
- Horizontal layout
{{Allmusic |class= |id= |tab= |label= |first= |last= |accessdate= }}
- Short layout
Valid with these three parameters only:
{{Allmusic |<class> |<id> |<label>}}
Parameters
[fontem recensere]| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| class | optional | Class of information, possible are "artist", "album", "song", "work" or "explore". Value for this parameter corresponds to part of URL following "www.allmusic.com/". If omitted, it defaults to "artist". |
| id | mandatory | Identification of information. Corresponds to part of URL following "artist/", "album/", "song/", "work/" or "explore/". The text before the actual id with name of artist, album etc. can be omitted. (Example: For www.allmusic.com/artist/led-zeppelin-p4739 "p4739" is sufficient for id). |
| tab | optional | If the link should access directly a specific tab on the Allmusic site you can use this parameter to specify that tab (e.g. "charts-awards"). The value for this parameter corresponds to the suffix of the URL following the identification, after the slash ('/'). If you are specifying a sub-tab of a tab, the whole suffix has to be used, (e.g. "songs/songs-composed-by"). Alternatively you can append the whole suffix for tab to the id parameter not using the tab parameter (see example below). |
| label | optional | Label to display for the link. If omitted, it defaults to the name of the article where this template is used. |
| first | optional | The author's first or given name(s). |
| last | optional | The author's surname or last name. |
| pure_url | optional | Value of "yes" produces no label and no additional text but a "pure" standalone external link. This option is mainly intended for the automated migration of standalone weblinks but can be used when linking to allmusic using {{Cite web}}, embedding {{Allmusic}} in {{Cite web}}. E.g.
|
| accessdate | optional | Full date when item was accessed. Should not be wikilinked. |
