Editing Encyclopedia:WikiProject Albums (section)

==Discography==
There are no explicit guidelines on how to incorporate an album article in a [[discography]]. Of course, there are several ways it can be done. In all cases, please keep the following hints in mind:
* sort the albums, e.g. ascending by date (since a discography is in some sense a [[chronology]]),
* if you [[Help:Table|use tables]], use wikicode, to make the list easier to maintain.

A simple way to list albums could be:
* ''first album'' (year of release)
* ''second album'' (year of release)

Note that album titles should be in ''italics'' and only albums, not release years, should be linked.

A different way using a table could be:
{|class="wikitable"
|+Albums by ''artist''
! scope="col"| Title
! scope="col"| Release date
! scope="col"| Notes
! scope="col"| Label
|-
! scope="row"| ''Firstname''
| 1999-01-01
| first studio album
| Label name
|-
! scope="row"| ''Secondname''
| 2000-01-01
| another note
| Label name
|}

Most album covers are non-free images, and are not permitted in discographies (or any other gallery or list). See [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria]] #8 and [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Acceptable_images]] for clarification of this policy.
