Template:Performance/doc

This is a subpage documenting Template:Performance. To change the template, edit that page; to change the template's documentation (seen below), edit this one.

Purpose

Stores and optionally displays data about a musical performance (recording, live event, video shoot, etc.) in the Cargo table Performances.

Storage

This template defines and populates the Cargo table Performances. Each row represents a specific performance instance. The data can be queried with Cargo queries or displayed directly on pages.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description	Example
song	Yes	Name of the song performed.	song=Let It Be
event	Yes	Event name or identifier.	event=Ed Sullivan Show
context	Yes	List (#-separated) describing the performance context(s).	context=tv#promo
date	Yes	Year or full date in format starting with 20xx.	date=2023-05-14
type	No	Performance type. Allowed: recording, track, music-video, live, rehearsal, soundcheck, sing-along, lip-sync.	type=live
pos	No	Position or sequence identifier.	pos=2
partners	No	List (#-separated) of collaborators or featured artists.	partners=John Doe#Jane Roe
comment	No	Additional notes (wikitext allowed).	comment=First televised performance.
id	No	Local identifier appended to Performance/doc to form a unique perfID.	id=01
nodisp	No	If set, suppresses on-page display.	nodisp=1

For legacy purposes, with can be used as template parameter in place of partners.

Display

If nodisp is not set, the template outputs event information from the context string, the date and the type. For the format, please see the example below.

Example

{{Performances
 |song=Let It Be
 |event=Ed Sullivan Show
 |context=tv#live#Ed Sullivan Show#season 2#ep. 5
 |date=2023-05-14
 |type=live
 |pos=1
 |partners=John Doe#Jane Roe
 |comment=First appearance of the song
 |id=01
}}

This would store the performance data in Cargo and display:

Ed Sullivan Show season 2, ep. 5 (2023-05-14 - live)
