==Instructions== |
|||
This template provides a brief summary and overview of the critical consensus of song and album reviews. It is used to display only brief and objectively-verifiable ratings, such as "{{rating|4|5}}", "B+", or "7/10". It cannot capture the general sense of a review that does not include any kind of scale, so do not include language like "Very favorable" or "(mixed)" in the template, as this would be [[WP:OR|original research]]. |
|||
The template is not to be a substitute for a section in paragraph form, since a review can not be accurately boiled down to a simple rating out of five stars or other numeric score. If an article is lacking a reception section in prose, but the information is presented in table format, the {{para|noprose|yes}} parameter can be used to tag the article as needing a reception section in prose. |
|||
This template is generally the first element after the heading for the section on Reception, Critical reception, Reviews, or something similar. If one of those sections is not present, the template should be placed immediately after the infobox, and can then be moved once a Reception section is present. |
|||
The reviews should be listed alphabetically in the '''Reviews''' field. The information in the reviewer field should be the name of the source (most commonly an online music service like [[AllMusic]], or a music magazine like ''[[Rolling Stone]]''—note that magazines are italicized). Don't forget to [[wikilink]] to the relevant article. |
|||
The information in the score field should be the rating given in the review (e.g. 4/5). The rating should use the same format as in the review, to portray the score of the review accurately. For star ratings you should use the [[Template:Rating|star rating template]]; for example, entering <code><nowiki>{{Rating|4.5|5}}</nowiki></code>, will render: {{Rating|4.5|5}}. |
|||
For reviews at [[AllMusic]] it is convenient to use the {{Tl|AllMusic}} template. |
|||
For review aggregators AnyDecentMusic? and [[Metacritic]] it is convenient to use the fields {{Code|ADM}} and {{code|MC}} in the template, respectively. |
|||
For reviews from [[Robert Christgau]]'s ''Consumer Guide''<!-- Xgau also writes for Blender, Rolling Stone, etc, in which he uses their rating systems. --> you may use the [[Template:Rating-Christgau|Christgau rating template]]. For example, entering <code><nowiki>{{Rating-Christgau|dud}}</nowiki></code> will render: {{Rating-Christgau|dud}}. |
|||
Note that the [[minus sign]] character ([[−]]) is not the same thing as a [[hyphen]] ([[-]]), so "B–", not "B-". They appear similar but you can use the proper character by inputting {{code|&minus;}} or using the {{code|Insert}} menu that is available in the editing window on Wikipedia; it is located near other such arithmetic operators like <×> and <÷>. |
|||
After the rating should be the citation of the source of the review. Per [[Wikipedia:Citing sources]] do not add reviews without a citation. This means a properly formatted footnote, in most cases providing the author, date, and source, along with an external link if available. Do not use an embedded link with no information (e.g. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ link]) as this promotes [[link rot]] and is inconsistent with [[Wikipedia:Cite_sources#Embedded_links|Wikipedia's policy on embedded links]]. If you must use an embedded link, be sure to manually provide a full citation in the article's References section per [[Wikipedia:Cite_sources#Embedded_links|Wikipedia:Citing sources]]. |

== Parameters == |
|||
Required fields: |
|||
:; ''rev#'' |
|||
:: The name of the reviewer. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums/Article body#Critical reception|It is recommended to include no more than 10 reviews]] <!-- should this be a more general link since this isn't just for albums now? -->, but you can add more in exceptional circumstances. For instance, a particularly popular song or album which has been re-released and has several prominent reviews over decades' time. |
|||
:; ''rev#score'' |
|||
:: The rating given by the reviewer. |
|||
All of the following fields are optional: |
All of the following fields are optional: |
||
:; ''title'' |
:; ''title'' |
||
:: |
:: Can be used to provide a custom title for the table, otherwise, it will default to "Professional ratings". |
||
:; ''subtitle'' |
:; ''subtitle'' |
||
:: |
:: Used to add additional text before the collapsible section. This is necessary to add if want a longer title, as long titles via the "title" parameter will not center correctly. |
||
:; ''state'' |
|||
:# '''<code>collapsed</code>''' – the table will be collapsed (hidden) by default. This is useful for very long tables. |
|||
:# '''<code>autocollapse</code>''' – the table will start out collapsed if there are two or more tables on the same page that use other collapsible tables. Otherwise, the table will be expanded. For the technically minded, see [[MediaWiki:Common.js]]. |
|||
:# '''<code>plain</code>''' – the table will always be expanded and the [hide]/[show] link on the right will not be displayed. |
|||
:# If set to blank, the table will always start out in an expanded state. |
|||
:; ''rev1–8'' |
|||
:: these are for custom reviewers. Use with ''rev1Score''. |
|||
:; ''award1–12'' |
|||
:: these are for any awards that the title has won. |
|||
:; ''width'' |
:; ''width'' |
||
:: |
:: Sets the width of the table; default is 24.2em, to match the width of the song and album infoboxes in most browsers and skins. |
||
:; ''ADM'' |
|||
:: AnyDecentMusic? score. |
|||
:; ''MC'' |
|||
:: [[Metacritic]] score. |
|||
:; ''aggregate#'' |
|||
:: Name of a [[review aggregator]]. |
|||
:; ''aggregate#score'' |
|||
:: The rating given by the review aggregator. |
|||
:; ''noprose'' |
|||
:: Should only be used for articles that do not have a Reception section summarizing the reviews. If set to ''yes'', will categorize articles into [[:Category:Articles with music ratings that need to be turned into prose]]. |

| AllMusic |   [1] |
| Rolling Stone | 9/10[2] |
Instructions
[edit]This template provides a brief summary and overview of the critical consensus of song and album reviews. It is used to display only brief and objectively-verifiable ratings, such as "", "B+", or "7/10". It cannot capture the general sense of a review that does not include any kind of scale, so do not include language like "Very favorable" or "(mixed)" in the template, as this would be original research.
The template is not to be a substitute for a section in paragraph form, since a review can not be accurately boiled down to a simple rating out of five stars or other numeric score. If an article is lacking a reception section in prose, but the information is presented in table format, the |noprose=yes parameter can be used to tag the article as needing a reception section in prose.
This template is generally the first element after the heading for the section on Reception, Critical reception, Reviews, or something similar. If one of those sections is not present, the template should be placed immediately after the infobox, and can then be moved once a Reception section is present.
The reviews should be listed alphabetically in the Reviews field. The information in the reviewer field should be the name of the source (most commonly an online music service like AllMusic, or a music magazine like Rolling Stone—note that magazines are italicized). Don't forget to wikilink to the relevant article.
The information in the score field should be the rating given in the review (e.g. 4/5). The rating should use the same format as in the review, to portray the score of the review accurately. For star ratings you should use the star rating template; for example, entering {{Rating|4.5|5}}, will render: 
.
For reviews at AllMusic it is convenient to use the {{AllMusic}} template.
For review aggregators AnyDecentMusic? and Metacritic it is convenient to use the fields ADM and MC in the template, respectively.
For reviews from Robert Christgau's Consumer Guide you may use the Christgau rating template. For example, entering {{Rating-Christgau|dud}} will render: 
.
Note that the minus sign character (−) is not the same thing as a hyphen (-), so "B–", not "B-". They appear similar but you can use the proper character by inputting &minus; or using the Insert menu that is available in the editing window on Wikipedia; it is located near other such arithmetic operators like <×> and <÷>.
After the rating should be the citation of the source of the review. Per Wikipedia:Citing sources do not add reviews without a citation. This means a properly formatted footnote, in most cases providing the author, date, and source, along with an external link if available. Do not use an embedded link with no information (e.g. link) as this promotes link rot and is inconsistent with Wikipedia's policy on embedded links. If you must use an embedded link, be sure to manually provide a full citation in the article's References section per Wikipedia:Citing sources.

Parameters
[edit]Required fields:

- The rating given by the reviewer.
All of the following fields are optional:
- title
- Can be used to provide a custom title for the table, otherwise, it will default to "Professional ratings".

- ADM
- AnyDecentMusic? score.
- MC
- Metacritic score.
- aggregate#
- Name of a review aggregator.
- aggregate#score
- The rating given by the review aggregator.
- noprose
- Should only be used for articles that do not have a Reception section summarizing the reviews. If set to yes, will categorize articles into Category:Articles with music ratings that need to be turned into prose.
