I think this template should also have a song writer field and/or a writing credits field (this sometimes differs, see for example this song, which was written by Richard Ashcroft, but later credited to Jagger/Richards). Also, I think "composer" is not a good term, rather it should be "artist". --The Evil IP address 11:05, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi, @Fumiko Take. I noticed you made some edits to this template, but reverted them. Is there anything I can help you with? — SMUconlaw (talk) 15:35, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
Not all songs are released on albums. Some songs predate albums as a technology. Some songs are released as singles, where the title of the "album" is just the title of the song. Some songs are only performed live and never "released" on an album. Some songs are released on many albums, and there is no point in arbitrarily choosing one to list when it is entirely irrelevant. --WikiTiki89 18:39, 14 July 2016 (UTC)
Does this exist anywhere? If not might make sense to create a template for it. – Jberkel (talk) 11:51, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
{{quote-book}}? For instance, it is possible to use {{quote-book}} and indicate where the line breaks are using obliques: "I wandered lonely as a cloud / That floats on high o'er vales and hills, / When all at once I saw a crowd, / A host, of golden daffodils; ". — SMUconlaw (talk) 13:08, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
|chapter= parameter, and the book title in |title=. — SMUconlaw (talk) 19:28, 24 August 2016 (UTC)Currently get formatted as "chapter <number>" (e.g. baffo). – Jberkel 22:21, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
{{quote-song}} works off the same backend ({{quote-meta/source}}) as all the other quote templates. One workaround would be to indicate the title as "1940 ", because the backend would then not interpret this as a chapter number. — SGconlaw (talk) 08:34, 2 March 2018 (UTC)Then please provide a version of the markup which is appropriate and doesn't create a "stripped" tag or misnesting in the parent template then.

<nowiki> tags; I have no idea why it is generating an error. — SGconlaw (talk) 17:36, 23 December 2018 (UTC)Please add automated transliteration fro non-Roman based languages like most templates do. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 08:22, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
See ось. I put the film name in |album= along with |format=film, which more or less works, but is there a better way? Benwing2 (talk) 06:12, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
It seems like some change was just made that broke the authorlink parameter, seemingly in revision #69077202. Compare the w:Alanis Morissette link on sixty-nine (yes, the first two digits of the revision number I just mentioned) previously with how it is now (as of typing).

With some songs, such as this one, the year and month of release are known (in this case, December 1966), but the precise day isn't. Currently, if you put a year and month, but no day, into date=, it defaults to the first day of the month, which is unlikely to be correct (for instance, in the present case, it's one of the few days when it couldn't've been released, as the song wasn't even recorded until 5 December). In order to accommodate songs where the month, but not the day, of release is known, the template should simply display the year and month (without adding in any guess at the day) if date= is provided with a year and month without specifying a day.

|year=1966|month=December to accomplish this, even though that's not in the documentation. That said, I agree that |date=1966-12 should default to just displaying the year and month without the day. The same applies to all the quotation templates based on Module:quote (the relevant code is actually in Module:time). 70.172.194.25 01:03, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
|month= and |year=. I’ll add it to the documentation. — Sgconlaw (talk) 01:35, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
|date=1966-12 correctly, |date=December 1966 and |date=1966 December would still not be handled properly. Of course we could manually write code to handle those cases too. But in the end the complexity of the code would be increased and we may not even end up handling all possible cases properly. 70.172.194.25 03:59, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
@Ioaxxere: is this, while cool, advisable? Unlike the Wikimedia Commons, I’m concerned that we won’t be able to distinguish between content that is legitimately on the site and content that has been uploaded in breach of copyright. — Sgconlaw (talk) 05:16, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
&t= to a YouTube URL which automatically starts the video at a certain time. For example, if the template is called with |time=1:03:20, this is converted into &t=1h03m20s which is appended onto the URL. The user still decides whether a YouTube URL should be added in the first place. Ioaxxere (talk) 18:56, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
If both |url= and |artist= are given, a comma is missing between the link and "performed by", see e.g. the quotes in cronem. Einstein2 (talk) 11:07, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
How to indicate that the “release date” of a traditional song with no known author was “release” is unknown? (See, e.g., the quotation at leggera § Etymology 2.) --Lambiam 21:13, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
