What's with all the broken links on UK singles templates? Unreal7 ( talk) 21:14, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
Still the case. Noticed on (You're_the)_Devil_in_Disguise. No amount of fiddling with arguments to singlechart template fixes. Onkelringelhuth ( talk) 12:36, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
It has previously been pointed out that Ireland no longer archives at chart-track.co.uk and that irishcharts.ie only archives the top 30. Could this maybe be added as an additional entry to cover the peaks that fall outside the top 30? It corresponds to the Ireland2 entry on Template:Album chart (using the archives at http://irish-charts.com/), but as there is already and "Ireland" and "Ireland2" entry for this template, it could be added as "Ireland3". I've just replaced "Irish Albums" with the country per the rest of the entries here, and "album" with "song" (and "Album chart" with "Single chart"). The code is as follows:
| Ireland3 = {{!}} Ireland ([[Irish Recorded Music Association|IRMA]]){{#if: {{{3|}}} | {{#tag:ref|{{cite news|url={{{url}}}|title={{{title}}}|location={{#if:{{{location|}}}|{{{location}}}}}|work={{#if:{{{work|}}}|{{{work}}}}}|page={{#if:{{{page|}}}|{{{page}}}}}|date={{#if:{{{date|}}}|{{{date}}}}}|publisher={{#if:{{{publisher|}}}|{{{publisher}}}}}|accessdate={{#if:{{{accessdate|}}}|{{{accessdate}}}}}}}}} | {{#tag:ref|"[http://www.irish-charts.com/showitem.asp?interpret={{#invoke:WLink|ansiPercent|{{#invoke:String|replace|{{{artist}}}|&|%26}}|space=+}}&titel={{#invoke:WLink|ansiPercent|{{#invoke:String|replace|{{{song}}}|&|%26}}|space=+}}&cat=a Irish-charts.com – {{{artist}}} – {{{song}}}"].

All the specific Billboard chart pages linked using the singlechart templates now just go to a general artist page.

As of now, following another revamp of the Billboard website, the Billboard Biz chart search is not functional, creating dead links for these charts when using the singlechart template:
Usages of the following charts with the singlechart template go to the artist page on Billboard.com which allows one to access an artist's chart history, but none of these charts are possible options which means those links fail verification.
--Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars Talk to me 00:45, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
The example given in the template page shows an error message for shakira ("sc_Italy_Shakira" defined multiple times with different content"), is it possible to fix that? I saw the same message in September (Earth, Wind & Fire song) where charts were given for two different versions, "September" and "September 99 (Phats & Small Remix)". I'm sure there are more of these error messages littering the reference sections of many articles, when there isn't actually a real error but an inability of the template to handle more than two entries for the same artist. 15:45, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

14:47, 17 October 2017 (UTC)I updated the sandbox with an almost-working version of the new Billboard URL system, however I'm still having an issue with how artist names are being encoded. Namely, spaces are being replaced with a '+' where we need them to be a hyphen (ex. where artist="Taylor Swift", the URL generates " http://www.billboard.com/music/taylor+swift/chart-history/hot-100" which does not work, while it should be " http://www.billboard.com/music/taylor-swift/chart-history/hot-100" etc.). Is there a better solution than the {{ BillboardEncode}} template to convert the names into a hyphenated format? Or does anyone know how to develope a new template that we can use instead?
On the bright side, for single named artists like Adele or artists with a specific entry in the corresponding BillboardEncode/{letter} sub-template, the updates I made work... Songsteel ( talk) 23:45, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
{{#invoke:WLink|ansiPercent|{{#invoke:String|replace|{{{artist}}}|&|%26}}|space=+}}
to replace spaces with plus signs. Perhaps we could use that to replace spaces with hyphens in Billboard charts.

Can the URLs for the Slovakian (Slovakia and Slovakdigital) entries please be changed? They currently link to http://www.ifpicr.cz/hitparadask/index.php?hitp=R, which shows an outdated version of the website that the Czech and Slovakian charts are published on. The Czech entries use http://www.ifpicr.cz/hitparada/index.php?hitp=R (note the absence of the "sk" after "hitparada"), which then allows users to select the Slovakian charts from the drop-down menu and then the proper year and week. The "hitparadask" URL only allows entries from 2016 back. So, I'm essentially just asking for the "sk" to be deleted from the URLs of the Slovak and Slovakdigital entries to show an updated version of the website. Thanks. Ss 112 12:11, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello. The Chartstats redirects to OCC need a slight update. For example, on All Star (song), the UKChartstats redirect points to the wrong link at when it should be without the dash in the search results. While each artist on the OCC also has a specific number, I think removing the dash would be easier to do. Thanks. -- MrLinkinPark333 ( talk) 18:31, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
We may have other problems, though. This site no longer uses numeric IDs in URLs for songs, but has paths like http://www.officialcharts.com/search/singles/walkin'-on-the-sun/ – even when there are different songs by multiple artists, e.g. http://www.officialcharts.com/search/singles/blue-monday/ – so our template documentation and the URLs we're generating for songs aren't right. That's more than I want to wrangle with right now; someone can work up a solution in the sandbox again. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ< 01:26, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
There are articles in Category:Singlechart used with UKchartstats that cannot be substituted with UKsinglesbyname instead of UKchartstats and null edits doesn't seem to remove them. Originally, the OCC charts only archived up to 75 but now it does go up to 100 (with some exceptions such as Silver (song). I was wondering if there was a way to adjust this category instead of having to manually update them all. -- MrLinkinPark333 ( talk) 04:29, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
Hello again. I would like to request that the Billboard URL by Name template to be updated because of the changes to the Billboard URL as seen above.

Someone has adjusted the template for the Billboard Canada Rock chart so that it no longer sources from the Billboard Biz website but from the standard Billboard website which does not archive this chart in full. For example, for Foo Fighters, it only archives just over half of their songs that were on that chart: [3]. Therefore it needs to be changed back.

I was scrolling through " Lips Are Movin"'s page when I noticed something strange: the table had the Spain peak listed at #2, but I looked at the source and saw that it was #5.

( https://web.archive.org/web/20150802151927/http://www.spanishcharts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Hozier&titel=Take+Me+To+Church&cat=s) Anyone know what's up with this? -- Markhoris ( talk) 18:07, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
The
Official Charts Company have changed the web addresses for an individual artist's page, so that they are now identified by an ID number, similar to how the Billboard website used to be. This affects the "uksinglesbyname" parameter in this template, as it now directs to a search page rather than directly to the artist's page. For example, for Michael Jackson the old link http://www.officialcharts.com/search/artists/michael jackson
is now http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/16519/michael-jackson/
, and for Madonna http://www.officialcharts.com/search/artists/madonna/
is now http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/28948/madonna/
.
It's not the end of the world, of course, but I don't suppose there is a way to link "uksinglesbyname" directly to the artist's page any more? It would presumably mean knowing the artist's ID number on the OCC website beforehand, and I don't know if there's any way of linking that directly through an extra "artistID" parameter.

Hi there! I wondered if we could introduce templates for Romania's record charts? The Airplay 100, Romania's current national singles chart based on radio and television airplay, has consistent storage here on their website. Each edition is aired as a Romanian language podcast and is sorted by date on their website. Each podcast also has its own link as seen here; you just have to change the id for a different podcast (the ids for the different podcasts are shown when you reach the 'download' option with your cursor (but don't clik it) next to each podcast here ↓). I think a possible template for the Airplay 100 should look something like this.
Media Forest, the compiler of the Airplay 100, also publishes split radio and television airplay charts (top 10 foreign and Romanian songs each). The storage for their charts is also consistent on their website, and every chart edition has its own link. See this for how I think templates for Media Forest's radio and television airplay charts sh/(c)ould be designed. Many thanks to all of you! Please ping me for comments, if possible...

As you have noticed, there are two official charts in Finland, both published by Musiikkituottajat: Suomen virallinen singlelista (Official Singles Chart, physical/digital sales + streaming) and Suomen virallinen latauslista (Official Download Chart, digital sales). In case of foreign artists that chart in multiple countries, omitting the Finnish download chart makes sense if the release has charted on the Finnish singles chart. But in case of Finnish artists that chart only in Finland – and, well first and foremost, sing in Finnish and therefore do not chart abroad, – allowing both the charts makes sense, as it properly reflects the local popularity of the songs. Could we make a guideline out of this? -- Puisque ( talk) 14:11, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
I think some of the UK charts should have their documentation changed. For example the download template UK Download Chart is now the UK Singles Downloads Chart and the Scottish Singles and Albums Charts are plural. Unreal7 ( talk) 20:07, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
Would anyone around here be interested in using Wikidata for recent chart data, probably through or with this template?
There's not much data to work with right now (
charted in (P2291) is only used on about 100 items), and the data structure is quite messy and largely conflates songs and singles, but I've written
a basic Lua module which is capable of pulling data from Wikidata (for any item which has relevant data). For example, {{#invoke:Sandbox/Jc86035/2|main|Billboard Hot 100}}
used on
Eastside (song) (or with |2=Q55975144
) returns 44
.
I think if more work were done on the module, it would be possible to automatically show references as well (although Module:Citeq would need some work for this) and get data for chart positions for singles (as opposed to songs). It would be a bit more difficult to add/update data for individual songs, mainly because references would have to be manually added and formatted (although there are some user scripts for these issues), but it would be much easier to use e.g. QuickStatements to add/update data for multiple songs.

It looks like some URLs are forcing https:// where the site doesn't use a secure URL, or there's another happening somewhere in the coding to cause a "privacy error" to pop up (at least for Chrome users like myself). I just tried clicking on the reference in the chart table of Mariners Apartment Complex for the Swiss peak, and it looks like swisscharts.com doesn't use https:// This has happened for a few other Hung Medien sites too.

UKchartstats
and UKchartarchive
point to the artist's page in OCC, but using UK
and listing the actual chart would be preferred. So, if it charted 100 or below, I believe it should be edited to use UK
. If not, Zobbel is not ideal but it's better than nothing. I haven't tried, but maybe using
https://web.archive.org/ some links can be saved. As for
Category:Singlechart used with UKZobbel that cannot be substituted, I may have missed it, but while I see some discussion at the archives of
Wikipedia talk:Record charts, I don't see that it ever matured into consensus that it should be removed. It is preferred not to use it, but as long as
Category:Singlechart used with UKZobbel that cannot be substituted is identical to
Category:Singlechart usages for UKZobbel I think there is little to do.UKZobbel
or other) or remove them entirely. I went ahead and
removed one.UKchartstats
and UKchartarchive
in the template.Presumably the details for "Germany" before reunification (such as in Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now), for example) are actually for West Germany but will still have been from Media Control GmbH (now GfK Entertainment Charts).

Muhandes: are there currently any articles at all which use the West Germany
as originally planned above, i.e. following the Germany
parameter? Because if not, and seeing as we've established that Germany
no longer works, would it make sense to recreate the West Germany
parameter following the Germany2

Hi, could somebody please replace the Slovakian URLs for both the entries Slovakia and Slovakdigital? Currently they link to the specific Slovakian subsection of ifpicr.cz, which is http://www.ifpicr.cz/hitparadask/index.php?hitp=R, but this is outdated (which one can see by clicking on it—the latest week it shows is week 43 of 2016, over two years ago). They should be updated to http://www.ifpicr.cz/hitparada/index.php, as they are located at the same site as and published by the same publisher for the Czech Republic, where they can be selected from the drop down menu at the top of the page (where Slovakia is "SK - RADIO - TOP 100" and Slovakdigital is "SK - SINGLES DIGITAL - TOP 100").

I noticed when using the Czech Republic
chart identifier the template generates a link and asks the user to select the year-week to complete the search at www.ifpicr.cz. However, the link defaults to a Top 100 Albums. If we are using this link to source single performance on charts, would it be a good idea to also include instructions in the generated text to "change the chart to CZ - RADIO - TOP 100 and insert <year-week> into search"? Likewise, for Czechdigital
the chart should be changed to CZ - SINGLES DIGITAL - TOP 100.
Alternately, would it be better to crack the code on the URLs pointing to the song (such as this one) to show a peak? Hoof Hearted ( talk) 15:58, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
songid

More Czech/Slovakian requests!
I just fixed a song article using this template for a Slovakdigital
chart identifier with week
set to "52,53" which caused the citation to throw an error: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character ",". At first I thought someone was trying to show multiple weeks for the song's peak position, but looking at the Slovakian chart website, the search parameter is actually named "201552,53" (emphasis added). This two-week chart only appears 4 times in the Czech/Slovakian database, 2011 (as "201151_52"), 2012 ("201251,52"), 2014 ("201451,52"), and 2015 ("201552,53").
Is it worth changing the code to accept these punctuation cases, or it my fix good enough for final week charts (i.e. will the user understand that searching for "201552" is meant to be "201552,53")? Hoof Hearted ( talk) 14:09, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

@ Muhandes: okay, I've been trying out the German parameters in my sandbox, and unless I'm in error, this is what I found:
Germany
Germany2
The problems with the German {{
album chart}} template are even worse, but let's sort out this template first – I would imagine that there are a lot of song articles using the Germany
parameter which is now useless, and I don't know the best way to port them over to the Germany2
parameter without breaking all the links. I'd also note that the "West Germany" parameter that you recently created following the request above also uses the obsolete Musicline.de website, so this needs changing to offiziellecharts.de.
I could see the value in being able to search for a specific week's chart, but each week has an ID which appears to bear no resemblance to dates or anything else, just a random string of numbers (e.g. the first single chart on 1 January 1977 is ID no. 221115600000, the current chart is ID no. 1538110800000), so I don't know how this could be implemented.
As an aside, the Hung Medien website at germancharts.de also has German charts, but only from 2007 onwards, and only a top ten each week – given that the full charts are available on offiziellecharts.de, it doesn't seem worth including this as an alternative option. Richard3120 ( talk) 19:03, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
Germany
(and the short lived West Germany
): I marked this option as obsolete on the documentation. I can further do two things. First, I can add a red warning, something like WEBSITE Musicline.de NO LONGER CARRIES CHARTS, PLEASE USE OTHER CITATION METHODS. I suppose if someone who cares sees this they will manually fix the citation to use Germany2
. Second, I can make all uses of Germany
go to
Category:Singlechart used with missing parameters, so again, if someone cares, they can correct it manually. Once we are certain there are no more articles using Germany
(the category is empty) we can remove the option to use it. Let me know what you think about these two.Germany2

@ Muhandes: I've run into an issue with the new parameter – it doesn't recognise the multiple versions of the single " Blue Monday" by New Order, which has been a hit in Germany three times: in its original form in 1983, as a remix in 1988 ("Blue Monday 1988"), and as another remix in 1995 ("Blue Monday (Hardfloor Remix)"). Even though Offizielle Charts recognises the three versions as three separate songs, with three different titles and three different ID numbers, the code only recognises the first entry, and then repeats it for the other entries. In the table below it looks like the same song has charted three times in different years, which isn't the case – if you look at the code you'll see I've put in different song titles and different ID numbers for all of them.

Popcorn (instrumental) which first charted in 1972 for Hot Butter, and then later in 2005 for Crazy Frog. Can we leave the 1972 peak unreferenced??

Hello. I thought I should let you all know that I found a website that has almost all of the issues for RPM magazine (Canada) in PDF files. While there are some gaps in year coverage (i.e. 2 weeks missing in January 1977), there is a noticeable gap from July 23, 1977 to August 27, 1983 as the website currently doesn't have physical copies from these dates. See here if you're interested. I used this site to help fill in some holes in #1 singles in Canada but currently have to look elsewhere for the remaining gaps in List of RPM number-one dance singles of 1978 and List of RPM number-one dance singles of 1979. -- MrLinkinPark333 ( talk) 18:27, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

As of now, following another revamp of the Billboard website, the Billboard Biz chart search is not functional, creating dead links for these charts when using the singlechart template:
Usages of the following charts with the singlechart template go to the artist page on Billboard.com which allows one to access an artist's chart history, but none of these charts are possible options which means those links fail verification.

The example given in the template page shows an error message for shakira ("sc_Italy_Shakira" defined multiple times with different content"), is it possible to fix that? I saw the same message in September (Earth, Wind & Fire song) where charts were given for two different versions, "September" and "September 99 (Phats & Small Remix)". I'm sure there are more of these error messages littering the reference sections of many articles, when there isn't actually a real error but an inability of the template to handle more than two entries for the same artist. 15:45, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

14:47, 17 October 2017 (UTC)I updated the sandbox with an almost-working version of the new Billboard URL system, however I'm still having an issue with how artist names are being encoded. Namely, spaces are being replaced with a '+' where we need them to be a hyphen (ex. where artist="Taylor Swift", the URL generates " http://www.billboard.com/music/taylor+swift/chart-history/hot-100" which does not work, while it should be " http://www.billboard.com/music/taylor-swift/chart-history/hot-100" etc.). Is there a better solution than the {{ BillboardEncode}} template to convert the names into a hyphenated format? Or does anyone know how to develope a new template that we can use instead?
On the bright side, for single named artists like Adele or artists with a specific entry in the corresponding BillboardEncode/{letter} sub-template, the updates I made work... Songsteel ( talk) 23:45, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
{{#invoke:WLink|ansiPercent|{{#invoke:String|replace|{{{artist}}}|&|%26}}|space=+}}

Can the URLs for the Slovakian (Slovakia and Slovakdigital) entries please be changed? They currently link to http://www.ifpicr.cz/hitparadask/index.php?hitp=R, which shows an outdated version of the website that the Czech and Slovakian charts are published on. The Czech entries use http://www.ifpicr.cz/hitparada/index.php?hitp=R (note the absence of the "sk" after "hitparada"), which then allows users to select the Slovakian charts from the drop-down menu and then the proper year and week. The "hitparadask" URL only allows entries from 2016 back. So, I'm essentially just asking for the "sk" to be deleted from the URLs of the Slovak and Slovakdigital entries to show an updated version of the website. Thanks. Ss 112 12:11, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

We may have other problems, though.

Someone has adjusted the template for the Billboard Canada Rock chart so that it no longer sources from the Billboard Biz website but from the standard Billboard website which does not archive this chart in full.

The
Official Charts Company have changed the web addresses for an individual artist's page, so that they are now identified by an ID number, similar to how the Billboard website used to be. This affects the "uksinglesbyname" parameter in this template, as it now directs to a search page rather than directly to the artist's page. For example, for Michael Jackson the old link http://www.officialcharts.com/search/artists/michael jackson
is now http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/16519/michael-jackson/
, and for Madonna http://www.officialcharts.com/search/artists/madonna/
is now http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/28948/madonna/
.
It's not the end of the world, of course, but I don't suppose there is a way to link "uksinglesbyname" directly to the artist's page any more? It would presumably mean knowing the artist's ID number on the OCC website beforehand, and I don't know if there's any way of linking that directly through an extra "artistID" parameter.

Hi there! I wondered if we could introduce templates for Romania's record charts? The Airplay 100, Romania's current national singles chart based on radio and television airplay, has consistent storage here on their website. Each edition is aired as a Romanian language podcast and is sorted by date on their website. Each podcast also has its own link as seen here; you just have to change the id for a different podcast (the ids for the different podcasts are shown when you reach the 'download' option with your cursor (but don't clik it) next to each podcast here ↓). I think a possible template for the Airplay 100 should look something like this.
Media Forest, the compiler of the Airplay 100, also publishes split radio and television airplay charts (top 10 foreign and Romanian songs each). The storage for their charts is also consistent on their website, and every chart edition has its own link. See this for how I think templates for Media Forest's radio and television airplay charts sh/(c)ould be designed. Many thanks to all of you! Please ping me for comments, if possible...

As you have noticed, there are two official charts in Finland, both published by Musiikkituottajat: Suomen virallinen singlelista (Official Singles Chart, physical/digital sales + streaming) and Suomen virallinen latauslista (Official Download Chart, digital sales). In case of foreign artists that chart in multiple countries, omitting the Finnish download chart makes sense if the release has charted on the Finnish singles chart. But in case of Finnish artists that chart only in Finland – and, well first and foremost, sing in Finnish and therefore do not chart abroad, – allowing both the charts makes sense, as it properly reflects the local popularity of the songs. Could we make a guideline out of this? -- Puisque ( talk) 14:11, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Would anyone around here be interested in using Wikidata for recent chart data, probably through or with this template?
There's not much data to work with right now (
charted in (P2291) is only used on about 100 items), and the data structure is quite messy and largely conflates songs and singles, but I've written
a basic Lua module which is capable of pulling data from Wikidata (for any item which has relevant data). For example, {{#invoke:Sandbox/Jc86035/2|main|Billboard Hot 100}}
used on
Eastside (song) (or with |2=Q55975144
) returns 44
.
I think if more work were done on the module, it would be possible to automatically show references as well (although Module:Citeq would need some work for this) and get data for chart positions for singles (as opposed to songs). It would be a bit more difficult to add/update data for individual songs, mainly because references would have to be manually added and formatted (although there are some user scripts for these issues), but it would be much easier to use e.g. QuickStatements to add/update data for multiple songs.

UKchartstats

point to the artist's page in OCC, but using UK
and listing the actual chart would be preferred. So, if it charted 100 or below, I believe it should be edited to use UK
. If not, Zobbel is not ideal but it's better than nothing. I haven't tried, but maybe using
https://web.archive.org/ some links can be saved. As for
Category:Singlechart used with UKZobbel that cannot be substituted, I may have missed it, but while I see some discussion at the archives of
Wikipedia talk:Record charts, I don't see that it ever matured into consensus that it should be removed. It is preferred not to use it, but as long as
Category:Singlechart used with UKZobbel that cannot be substituted is identical to
Category:Singlechart usages for UKZobbel I think there is little to do.UKZobbel

Hi, could somebody please replace the Slovakian URLs for both the entries Slovakia and Slovakdigital? Currently they link to the specific Slovakian subsection of ifpicr.cz, which is http://www.ifpicr.cz/hitparadask/index.php?hitp=R, but this is outdated (which one can see by clicking on it—the latest week it shows is week 43 of 2016, over two years ago). They should be updated to http://www.ifpicr.cz/hitparada/index.php, as they are located at the same site as and published by the same publisher for the Czech Republic, where they can be selected from the drop down menu at the top of the page (where Slovakia is "SK - RADIO - TOP 100" and Slovakdigital is "SK - SINGLES DIGITAL - TOP 100").

I noticed when using the Czech Republic
chart identifier the template generates a link and asks the user to select the year-week to complete the search at www.ifpicr.cz. However, the link defaults to a Top 100 Albums. If we are using this link to source single performance on charts, would it be a good idea to also include instructions in the generated text to "change the chart to CZ - RADIO - TOP 100 and insert <year-week> into search"? Likewise, for Czechdigital
the chart should be changed to CZ - SINGLES DIGITAL - TOP 100.
Alternately, would it be better to crack the code on the URLs pointing to the song (such as this one) to show a peak? Hoof Hearted ( talk) 15:58, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
songid

I just " fixed" a page that was using this template for several year-end charts ( Overload (Sugababes song)). For Austria and Switzerland, I found {{ year-end single chart}} creates a better URL for year-end charts, however that template does not have a Germany (or Germany2) chart defined.

UKsinglesbyname

links to a special chart which shows a single's peak within that chart. Is that right?

More Czech/Slovakian requests!
I just fixed a song article using this template for a Slovakdigital
chart identifier with week
set to "52,53" which caused the citation to throw an error: Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character ",". At first I thought someone was trying to show multiple weeks for the song's peak position, but looking at the Slovakian chart website, the search parameter is actually named "201552,53" (emphasis added). This two-week chart only appears 4 times in the Czech/Slovakian database, 2011 (as "201151_52"), 2012 ("201251,52"), 2014 ("201451,52"), and 2015 ("201552,53").
Is it worth changing the code to accept these punctuation cases, or it my fix good enough for final week charts (i.e. will the user understand that searching for "201552" is meant to be "201552,53")? Hoof Hearted ( talk) 14:09, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

@ Muhandes: okay, I've been trying out the German parameters in my sandbox, and unless I'm in error, this is what I found:
Germany
Germany2
The problems with the German {{
album chart}} template are even worse, but let's sort out this template first – I would imagine that there are a lot of song articles using the Germany
parameter which is now useless, and I don't know the best way to port them over to the Germany2
parameter without breaking all the links. I'd also note that the "West Germany" parameter that you recently created following the request above also uses the obsolete Musicline.de website, so this needs changing to offiziellecharts.de.
I could see the value in being able to search for a specific week's chart, but each week has an ID which appears to bear no resemblance to dates or anything else, just a random string of numbers (e.g. the first single chart on 1 January 1977 is ID no. 221115600000, the current chart is ID no. 1538110800000), so I don't know how this could be implemented.
As an aside, the Hung Medien website at germancharts.de also has German charts, but only from 2007 onwards, and only a top ten each week – given that the full charts are available on offiziellecharts.de, it doesn't seem worth including this as an alternative option. Richard3120 ( talk) 19:03, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
Germany
(and the short lived West Germany
): I marked this option as obsolete on the documentation. I can further do two things. First, I can add a red warning, something like WEBSITE Musicline.de NO LONGER CARRIES CHARTS, PLEASE USE OTHER CITATION METHODS. I suppose if someone who cares sees this they will manually fix the citation to use Germany2
. Second, I can make all uses of Germany
go to
Category:Singlechart used with missing parameters, so again, if someone cares, they can correct it manually. Once we are certain there are no more articles using Germany
(the category is empty) we can remove the option to use it. Let me know what you think about these two.Germany2

@ Muhandes: I've run into an issue with the new parameter – it doesn't recognise the multiple versions of the single " Blue Monday" by New Order, which has been a hit in Germany three times: in its original form in 1983, as a remix in 1988 ("Blue Monday 1988"), and as another remix in 1995 ("Blue Monday (Hardfloor Remix)"). Even though Offizielle Charts recognises the three versions as three separate songs, with three different titles and three different ID numbers, the code only recognises the first entry, and then repeats it for the other entries. In the table below it looks like the same song has charted three times in different years, which isn't the case – if you look at the code you'll see I've put in different song titles and different ID numbers for all of them.

parameter, it is the default behavior of the template. The reference name only includes the artist by default, so multiple uses of the same artist will use the same reference name, unless |refname=

Hello. I thought I should let you all know that I found a website that has almost all of the issues for RPM magazine (Canada) in PDF files. While there are some gaps in year coverage (i.e. 2 weeks missing in January 1977), there is a noticeable gap from July 23, 1977 to August 27, 1983 as the website currently doesn't have physical copies from these dates. See here if you're interested. I used this site to help fill in some holes in #1 singles in Canada but currently have to look elsewhere for the remaining gaps in List of RPM number-one dance singles of 1978 and List of RPM number-one dance singles of 1979. -- MrLinkinPark333 ( talk) 18:27, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
