Template:Recordings by orchestra/doc

This template can be included into articles. It shows a table of all recordings of a certain orchestra.

Edit the source code to see the template code.

Usage

Use the following code within an article of an orchestra:

{{Recordings by orchestra}}

This will list all recordings stored in the TangoWiki that are assigned to this orchestra with their data.

Full example with optional parameters:

{{Recordings by orchestra
|Name of the orchestra
|singer=Ángel Vargas
|start=1937-01-01
|end=1937-12-31
}}

Recordings with a different orchestra

If the recordings concern another orchestra as the one in the page name, like in the case of Edgardo Donato (with Donato-Zerrillo), use the following code:

{{Recordings by orchestra|Name of the orchestra}}.

This will show only the recordings of the specified orchestra (using the short form of the orchestra, not the long form).

Recordings with a certain singer

To show only recordings with a certain singer (or only those "Instrumental"), include the value in the query:

|singer=Ángel Vargas

Hence, the full query could look like this (example):

{{Recordings by orchestra|Ángel D'Agostino|singer=Ángel Vargas}}

Recordings of a certain date range

When you only want to show a certain date range of recordings instead of all, you can include the date range in the query:

{{Recordings by orchestra|Name of the orchestra|start=1937-01-01|end=1937-12-31}}.

Include the start date AND the end date for the date range. The query then uses the operators "bigger than >" and "smaller than <" to display only the recordings from this date range.

If you need to specify the query further, you shouldn't use this template, instead create a distinct query.

Example

(In the example are only the first 3 recordings shown!) Code on the page: {{Recordings by orchestra|Edgardo Donato}}

Result: There are 0 recordings. Click expand to view all.

Code on the page: {{Recordings by orchestra|Donato-Zerrillo}}

Result: There are 50 recordings. Click expand to view all.

Template:Record table bodyTemplate:Record table bodyTemplate:Record table bodyTemplate:Record table outro... further results

The query

• Only the first 300 entries are shown, if there are more than 300 recordings, a link "further results…" is added.
• The table is collapsed by default and can be expanded on click.

The query asks for the following data:

• Title
• Singer
• Record date
• Genre
• Label
• Disco No
• Matrix prefix
• Matrix No
• Side (A, B)
• Disc type (Shellac, Vinyl)
• Sound snippet

The table will NOT (yet) show the following recording data:

• Orchestra
• Alternative title
• Title as it appears on shellac
• Key word
• Source of verification
• Comments
• Image
• TangoTunes SKU, tango.info TINT

Templates

This template uses 3 subtemplates for the table:

• Record table intro orchestra (different to song recordings)
• Record table body
• Record table outro.
