|album= parameter

When exactly to and not to include |album= parameter in infoboxes for songs? I have read what Template:Infobox song#album says, but that doesn't clarify much. How exactly do we decide whether a song is from that album or not? (i mean, of course, if it's in the track listing, we'll mention it was later included in that album, but what about using the parameter itself?) Do we rely on announcements, trailers, or any mentions by the artist/label? Though the discussion doesn't exactly start with this, a little more context is present here. Thank you.

Split of Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You needed

The consensus so far has unanimously agreed to split the I Will Always Love You#Whitney Houston version. Nonetheless, I figured it's a lot of work, so help is needed. Thanks! George Ho (talk) 17:43, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I performed the split. Someone else might have to clean up stuff. Heartfox (talk) 21:04, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Credits and personnel" or "Personnel"?

Which one is the most appropriate? Besides, should we include songwriting credits? I've seen that some articles do include them in this section, while others don't. Additionally, do we type the artists' real or stage names? Jvaspad (talk) 19:20, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Credits and personnel" seems redundant to me; I would pick one or the other, but never use both.

Songwriting credits make more sense in the track listing section to me, especially when organized by {{track listing}}, so I wouldn't bother repeating them in both sections.

I would think which name to use would be decided by what's used in the liner notes, and if for some reason that isn't enough default to whichever is the common name. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 20:14, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
