  1. Search on Metacritic.com for the title you want.
  2. Click on the correct link to go to the album's page.
  3. The page URL for an album should look like https://www.metacritic.com/music/TTTTTTT, with the TTTTTT being the album's title as used in the MetaCritic link (usually the album title in lower case with hyphens substituted for spaces).
  4. Copy ONLY that text that follows https://www.metacritic.com/music/
  5. Add to the external links section the text:
{{Metacritic album|id=TTTTTTT|title=Example}}
  1. You may define an access date also, using the following:
{{Metacritic album|id=TTTTTTT|title=Example|accessdate=YYYY-MM-DD}}
The title field is completely optional, and will default to the Wikipedia article title if left out.
accessdate is also an optional parameter, this will simply not be shown if not supplied.
