This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:AMG ref}} ). |
An easy and optional method to make inline citation references to AllMusic for albums. Always substitute this template. All fields are required and are only made up of plain text (i.e. there is no styling such as italics for album titles:

" for undated web pages, but only a very small fraction of AllMusic references actually use this.author-link
. In the example above, the author has a biography on Wikipedia, so it is best to link to Stephen Thomas Erlewine. This could be accomplished with if-then statements in the future.
