This is the infobox for your artist page. The infobox can be used for solo artists, bands, etc.. You will also use this infobox for individual band members, if you so wish to create pages for them.
Now, it's very very VERY simple to use :P
Just copy and paste that code above into the
TOP of the artists page. Fill out any information that you can. Anything that you can't fill out, or don't want to fill out, leave it blank or delete only that one line from the code. Anything left blank will not show up in the actual infobox once saved.
So for example, if you leave "Origin" blank, it will now show up in your infobox at all. So you do not have to worry about having blank spots :)
BACKGROUND is to decide what color your infobox will be, this will depend one what type of artist you are (solo artist, band, etc..). Copy and paste of of the code names (example: group_or_band) on the left and past it into the "Background" section of th infobox. Make sure you copy the code name
EXACTLY how it is written here, with underscores and everything.

These infoboxes are the NEW ones that should be used for every new artist page. I am currently in the process of changing the articles with the old infobox to the new ones. Of course, if your article is using the old infobox, you can change it to the new one yourself :)
These new infoboxes look just like the ones on Wikipedia :D
Oh, and artists which do not have members, like solo artists, you can just delete "Past Members" and "Current Members" from the code. Or you can just leave it blank. Either way it wont show up in the infobox :)
