Template:Album citation/doc

Usage

This template is used to provide references to two of the sites that display data on albums: All Music Guide and Rate Your Music. It is called by supplying the parameters as follows:

Album name = name of the album

Album code = the code used to specify the album. On AMG this is a string of numbers and letters like "10:dpfyxqr5ldse" but on RYM it is created from the artist name and album name, such as "julie_london/lonely_girl/" (note the included final slash).

site = the three letter abbreviation AMG or RYM. For AMG it's better to use {{AllMusic}}.

compilation = set to any value for compilation albums, required for RYM.

A typical call is

{{Album citation|Album name=Lonely Girl|Album code=r25661|site=AMG}}
