[edit] Rationale for album covers:
Album/Ep/demo cover for [[band]]'s [[album/EP/demo]] by [[(if some specific person created it)]].
{{Non-free media rationale
|Article = name of article it is to be used by
|Description=This is a cover to [[band]]'s album/EP/demo ''[[album/EP/demo]]'' and should be used encyclopedically for (band's) article and entirely to the article of the album cover's name.
|Source=(http://)
|Portion=entire cover
|Low_resolution=yes
|Purpose=use to show album art and display information for the album in question.
|Replaceability=not replaceable with free content as it is a copyrighted image.
|other_information=any extra release info or who created the cover goes here among anything else accepted.
}}
Or:
Album cover for ''[[album]]'' by [[band]]
{{album cover fur
| Article = article name
| Use = Infobox

| Artist = [[band]]

add [[Category:Album covers]] for album cover pages And this may be the best template I have ever seen created by Wikipedia. Seriously... it saves you so much time and images on here look too official, it annoys me. I say add images to your hearts content. [edit] Rationale for logos:
[[band]] logo

Add this category to the page [[Category:Band logos]] [edit] Quotation:
