Nigerian charts and certificates

On 19 December 2020, TurnTable issued it's first weekly chart data in English.
It's prominent charts are TurnTable Top 100 Songs and TurnTable Top 100 Albums amongst the others. It also launched a certification system (TurnTable Certification System of Nigeria)

  • Top 100 Songs (chart data), I think the data can be accessed the same way as the South African charts.
  • Top 100 Albums (chart data), same applies here.
  • Certification (plaques)

Parameters:

Thoughts on this Muhandes? dxneo (talk) 22:05, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

@Dxneo: For the charts, can you please provide sample URLs for accessing the chart archives? Also, it is advisable (or maybe even required) to post at Template talk:Album chart and redirect discussion here, in case anyone has an opinion or can contribute to the discussion. Discussion about certifications are conducted at Template talk:Cite certification for the citation and at Template talk:Certification Table Entry for the certification table. I suggest you start discussion at the latter and invite discussion from the former. I will note that I do not see a source for the certification levels. Muhandes (talk) 07:38, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
Hello Muhandes, I finally found the archives for
|Nigeria Top 100 (TurnTable)=
But I have a little problem, firstly here's the archive, they use "mdy-mdy". The thing is when I tested the URL yesterday it was longer directing me to an error 404 page and I was so happy, but now it's literally going to the latest charts no matter how I try to tweak the dates. Could you please try to check if you can get it to work? dxneo (talk) 01:13, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
@Dxneo: If it ever worked this way, it doesn't work now. Muhandes (talk) 15:00, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Brasil Hot 100

Hello. Billboard Brasil Hot 100 returned in August 2023 with a new formula. Now the rankings are based on streaming. Could someone add?

@Muhandes Rangel's Version (talk) 15:01, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
@Rangel's Version I don't like it, but it is the way all other Billboard charts are implemented, so  Done. Muhandes (talk) 15:17, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
thank u :) Rangel's Version (talk) 15:31, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Czech Republic and Slovakia ČNS IFPI Charts

I also forgot to mention - there was also an overhaul on the ČNS IFPI website, apart from the fact that now the link in the template takes you to the 404 page because it has been slightly modified, they renovated pages for artist discographies and separate ones for peaks singles history. I don't know if it would be possible to make a template for peak history straight away, but it would certainly be useful to fix the 404 problem. Thanks in advance @Muhandes Szyign (talk) 08:56, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

@Szyign: This was already requested two months ago by CeolAnGhra. Since this is more recent, I suggest continuing the discussion here, and they can join us.
  • A straightforward solution to the 404 error for the Czech Republic charts (Czech Republic and Czechdigital) is possible. It even improves referencing slightly, as shown in the side-by-side comparison here. I am awaiting your approval regarding the wording I used.
  • Introducing a |chartid= option is also possible. For example, |chartid=2912 will point directly to 28. týden 2024 instead of requiring |year=2024 and |week=28. However, this approach is less straightforward, so we can consider it as a second step if there is interest.
  • A solution for the Slovak charts (Slovak/Slovakia and Slovakdigital) is less straightforward. Before the overhaul, Hitparadask contained Rádio Top 100 archives from 200635 to 201634 and Singles Digitál Top 100 archives from 201426 to 201634, while Hitparada contained Rádio Top 100 and Singles Digitál Top 100 archives from 201643 onwards. The charts available after the overhaul are Radio Top 100 and Singles Digital Top 100, both of which start at 201643. I'm unsure if there is a way to access older charts and how to keep the code backward compatible so that at least archived versions are referenceable. I will need someone to look deeper into this before committing to any solution.
Muhandes (talk) 10:02, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
I think your suggestion for fixing the 404 error for Czech Republic is exactly what I had in mind. As for the second option - I think that of course if possible it could be added as optional, i.e. so that the old option of manually specifying which week you are referring to is still available to those who prefer it, and those who find it easier to specify chartid could do it this way. As for the deleted archives - I think they have removed them from the site completely. The only way to get them back is through web.archive, unfortunately. Unless they're tucked away somewhere in the depths of the site, because honestly I find it a bit cumbersome to navigate there. Szyign (talk) 22:12, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
@Szyign: Since the changes to Czech Republic and Czechdigital seemed harmless, I applied them without waiting for further consensus. The application of |chartid= will wait. As for the application of any changes to Slovak, Slovakia, and Slovakdigital, I think it is prudent to wait a bit, as someone else might want to contribute to the discussion.  Half done. Muhandes (talk) 09:18, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
Okay, thank you! Szyign (talk) 10:40, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
@Szyign, @CeolAnGhra: Since I couldn't find a way to make Slovak/Slovakia and Slovakdigital backwards compatible, I implemented Slovak2/Slovakia2 and Slovakdigital2 for the new charts. The old charts are marked as defunct and will continue returning 404 errors until someone reviews them and either archives or replaces them with the new versions. This is now  Done. Muhandes (talk) 09:44, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
Thanks! Szyign (talk) 11:30, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
What was the issue with backward compatibility? -- mikeblas (talk) 17:05, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
Quoting myself: Before the overhaul, Hitparadask contained Rádio Top 100 archives from 200635 to 201634 and Singles Digitál Top 100 archives from 201426 to 201634, while Hitparada contained Rádio Top 100 and Singles Digitál Top 100 archives from 201643 onwards. The charts available after the overhaul are Radio Top 100 and Singles Digital Top 100, both of which start at 201643.
This means that if we just replaced the target, we would have lost the link to all archived charts before 201643. With a 404 you can at least try to find an archived version. Come to think of it, perhaps marking the older chart with [dead link] is also required. Muhandes (talk) 17:28, 30 September 2024 (UTC)

Protected template edit

"Official German Chart": unless this is a proper noun, please change it to "official German chart". HandsomeFella (talk) 17:37, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Any reason not to use GfK Entertainment charts directly? It seems like that is the official name of the chart. Muhandes (talk) 10:15, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
To match the others, it should probably be Germany (GfK). --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 21:20, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
I agree.  Done Muhandes (talk) 12:16, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

CIS template

Hi, I'm wondering - if the templates of Russia and Ukraine for TopHit have Airplay in their name, why the same list but from CIS does not have Airplay in it's name? I think it should also have it, since we don't use All Media as general charts from Tophit anyway. Szyign (talk) 12:33, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

@Szyign: I can't think of a reason not to do it.  Done. Muhandes (talk) 21:45, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
Thanks! Szyign (talk) 22:01, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

BillboardID template

Template:BillboardID was removed as deprecated 5 years ago. Is there a reason why we haven't removed it from the {{single chart}} and {{album chart}} parameters yet? There are still 489 uses. Solidest (talk) 01:58, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

@Solidest: I'm not sure I fully understand your request. Dead code {{BillboardID}} was removed from the template code years ago. As far as I can say, this edit was the last of them. At the same time, |artistsid= was also remove from the template code for Billboard charts.
If you are requesting to remove |artistsid= from the template entirely, this is impossible since it is still being used for Oricon and Official Charts.
As for those 489 uses, they are doing no visible harm since this is an unused parameter and is never called. There might be some CPU wastage so it's probably justified to remove them. Do you need assistance with that? Muhandes (talk) 08:13, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
I was just asking how safe it is to delete these values from the articles. Usually obsolete parameters are collected via maintenance categories rather than stored on pages because they don't harm anyone, right? In this case too, it would probably be worth either creating such a category to gradually clean them up, or just ask someone to delete them via with a bot. Solidest (talk) 08:19, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
@Solidest: It is completely safe to remove them. I can create a temporary maintenance category to collect them. I think AWB could be used to delete them without the need of a bot. Muhandes (talk) 08:24, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

New Zealand

I have opened a discussion about using the official RMNZ Aotearoa charts website in the templates rather than Hung Mediun after the website update, given there are now direct artist pages which can be generally used instead. It would be preferred if the hosted charting website can be used instead of a third party site. Rockmusicfanatic20 (talk) 21:52, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

Funny 'cause I just came to talk about the exact same thing. Seems like the website is a lot better than Hung Medien. dxneo (talk) 09:35, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
Muhandes, thoughts on the website? dxneo (talk) 19:29, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
@Rockmusicfanatic20 and Dxneo: I voice my opinion at Template talk:Album chart#New Zealand, which applies here as well. Basically, I agree with the sentiment, but I see technical difficulties. I suggest we continue the discussion there. Muhandes (talk) 08:20, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

US & UK Afrobeats

Hello Muhandes, I'm sure you already know that I'm bringing you lot of trouble haha, I'm so sorry. However, for charts, the UK and US use Afrobeats as an umbrella for "African Music", don't you think an identifier would do since the charts are now popular and used in multiple articles? Thoughts on this? dxneo (talk) 21:15, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

@Dxneo: This was already requested Template talk:Single chart/Archive 5#Billboard Afrobeats chart and two years earlier Template talk:Single chart/Archive 5#UK Charts. As before, I have no objection, but how popular are these charts? How many articles already use them? Muhandes (talk) 21:41, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
Honestly, I will not blame you if you don't create the identifier, but at this rate, I do think it will be used a lot more in the future. What do you say? dxneo (talk) 22:14, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
@Dxneo:  Done I added Billboardafrobeats and UKafrobeats. Now show me I didn't waste my time and use each of them a hundred times. Muhandes (talk) 14:05, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
On it, give me 24 hours. dxneo (talk) 14:06, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
@Dxneo: it has been almost six weeks. Billboardafrobeats was used 25 times and UKafrobeats was used 54 times. I'm glad I could help, but I'm not sure this is a success story... Anyway, this thread can be archived. Muhandes (talk) 08:27, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
I visit this discussion at least once a week to check if the charts have been used on new articles then I add the US if there's an identifier, I add the UK regardless. The UK is not used as much as the US tho. Thank you for the template. I think I'll be able to help out with the codes some time soon. dxneo (talk) 10:14, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
