Extra chronologies may be added to {{Infobox album}} and {{Infobox song}}, depending on which version of this template is used. Both add the proper header, color, and formatting (depending on the |type= designation) and are added to the infoboxes in the |misc= field.
If this template is substituted, it will return a cleaned-up copy of itself (see Wikipedia:Substitution trick) with unnecessary parameters removed and deprecated parameters replaced. Parameter indentation will also automatically be fixed.
