From Thunder Bay Bandwiki
Use this template for bands. It will automatically add the page to the 'Bands' category and the 'Notable Bands' category, if appropriate. You can add the following fields:
- years_active: When the band was active
- main_songwriter: If there was one person who did most of the songwriting, you can add it here
- genres: Which genres the band did mostly
- see_also: Other bands that were related to this one
- known_for: Why this band was important
- notable_for: Use this in place of known_for to automatically add the band to 'Notable Bands'.
Here's an example of what you'd stick into a band's page to put them in a template:
{{Band |genres=[[Hardcore Punk|Punk]], [[Easy Listening]], [[Grindcore]] |years_active=1995-2002 |main_songwriter=Dave |notable_for=Last band in town to release an 8-track tape }}
If you have any other ideas for fields, email Tjernobyl.
