Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This infobox is for orchestras. It was created after a discussion in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical music in March 2013.

Usage

All fields are optional and should only be used as necessary.

Separate multiple values using {{Flatlist}} or {{Plainlist}}.

Locations: For "United States" and "United Kingdom", it is preferred that they be abbreviated "U.S." and "UK", but political subdivisions should never be (never "MA" for "Massachusetts", "ON" for "Ontario", etc.). See NotesTemplate:R for details.
