This template uses Lua:

This infobox is to be used as an additional miscellaneous listing at the bottom of Template:Infobox album (talk · links · edit).

Usage

This infobox should be placed in the |misc= field as shown below, using the field cases also shown below. Any unused fields may be left out.

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.

Name: The name of the album (the formatting will add italics).
Type: The album type, e.g., studio, live, compilation, etc., specified in Template:Infobox album#Type.
Single #: The name of the single (the formatting will add "quote" marks). If it has a WP article, add a link.
Single # date: The date the single was released. If full date is unknown, use month and year or just year. Do not use the {{Start date}} template in this field.

Note that all fields are already properly formatted, so italics or quotation marks need not be entered in fields.
