 | This template is used on approximately 164,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandboxor/testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
When modifying this template, don't forget to update Template:Infobox album/color.
This is an auxiliary template which should be only used by the {{Infobox album}} template. The first parameter should be one of the codes from the table below, representing a type of album. The template returns the wikilinked version of the text.

| studio | Studio album | Studio albumbyartist |
| demo | Demo album | Demo albumbyartist |
| EP | EP | EPbyartist |
| single album | Single album | Single albumbyartist |

If at any time the Expected and Obtained columns do not match, this template can be considered broken. This table makes the template automatically check itself. If a 
Y mark is seen, it means that self test worked fine. if there is a 
N mark, it means the test failed. Whenever you make a modification to the template, please save the page, hit CTRL+F5, and check if all the self tests have passed. If you add a new type to the template, remember to add the type using this format:
| typename
| typereplace
| {{Infobox album/link|typename}}
| {{#ifeq:{{Infobox album/link|typename}}|typereplace|{{y}}|{{n}}}}
Replace typename with the new type name (in example, Epic soundtrack), and typereplace with the text that will appear as album type (in example, [[Soundtrack|Epic soundtrack]]).
Note: Sometimes the test may pass while previewing the page, but once saved the test would fail, no matter how many times the cache is cleared. In this case, please click this link to purge the cache. If that doesn't solve the problem, please post a note in the Talk page of the template and an editor will review the changes.
