. Most genres are not proper nouns and should not be capitalized. However, the first word in a list of multiple genres should be capitalized. Genres that are sourced in the article itself do not require a source in the infobox, but sometimes it can be useful to have the source listed again anyway, to help prevent edit warring. A hidden comment such as <!-- genres listed here are sourced in the article text -->
can also be used to this end if needed. For multiple entries, see notes[1].Article containing the complete list of subgenres for the described genre.

. See notes[2] for location details, and notes[1] for multiple entries. The list should not contain links redirecting to articles about the countries themselves, if the genre has well-known scenes without articles, it is better to leave them unlinked. Specific subgenres which have names derived out of country names should not be included here, e.g. Dutch house, because the genre is not equivalent to "any house music of the Netherlands". The same goes for articles on time periods or specific parts of the scene, e.g. Early Norwegian black metal scene), as it's not covering black metal scene of Norway generally.Articles specializing in local scenes related to the genre, mostly existing within the cities, or small regions within a country, e.g. Madchester or The Scene That Celebrates Itself.
Related articles which did not fall into the categories above, or other articles closely related to the genre, including lists, dedicated to the genre.

to include such links. Link will update automatically for new years, once the "<new year> in <genre>" article has been written. If no article has been written for the old year nor the new year, it will redlink the new year's article to encourage its creation. Has two optional further parameters:The "2024 in <genre>" function assumes that the current page's title is the genre's name, i.e., if you use this on classical music, it will link to "2024 in classical music"). If that is not the case, use this parameter to specify the genre's name. The annual-update feature will work just the same.
This overrides the whole parameter, for if the desired article uses some unusual title formulation (e.g. "2010s in classical music"). If this parameter is used, the link will not update for new years.
