This template is offered as and optional supplement to bios of composers and other creative artists. Please use only where information is clear and susceptable to summarization without distortion; and use only with editorial consensus. One may wish to mock up a proposed box and solicit comment on the article's talk page before adding it to the article itself.
If you have questions, or wish to move this template to the "Template:" namespace for transclusion into actual articles, please leave a note for Turangalila.
Insert the template at the top of the article — above the introduction or lead section, but below any maintenance tags, such as {{mergefrom}} or {{Unreferenced}} — using the "Cut-and-paste text" below. See the table at the bottom of this page for an explanation of the various parameters, and formatting advice.
