Formatting error
I notice a few articles that carry full album track listings inside the infobox now have this feature appearing either unformatted above the lead section (e.g.
My Sweet Lord), or with a similarly strange cluster of codes inside the infobox (
Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)). Because I happened to notice it today, I'm wondering if
this change by
Jc86035 might have inadvertently triggered it – but perhaps not. Does anyone know how to sort out the issue? (The articles in question look awful, obviously.) Thanks,

JG66, I have reverted the change for now. we could create a separate parameter for tracklistings. or, we could change all of them. but, it looks like any change needs more testing.

JG66: Sorry, didn't realize there were some things used in the parameter which weren't child infoboxes.

Frietjes: Should {{Extra track listing}} be modified to use {{Infobox}}? It could be better for accessibility to avoid nesting tables, although the edit was mostly for the headers to have the same width and that could be fixed with a padding: 0.

JG66: Not sure what the issue was, it should look fine now. If there are any others try appending ?action=purge to the URL and reloading first to see if it goes away.

Jc86035: Thanks, I did that at My Sweet Lord (yes, that one again) and it solved the problem. I also noticed in some other articles that the inclusion of <br /> rather than <br> created the second set of quote marks (or allowed them to be created). Then I found that having <br> appear in the Album parameter, to knock over a long album title, also created the issue. If you follow my contribs, you'll see a couple of examples. Cheers,

Zackmann08: If the template is being used on a page then it needs to be substituted anyway, so I don't understand why you would need to track this – all of the parameters are deprecated. Tracking could be done without leaving the category in the page, but you would have to use {{issubst}}.

Jc86035: well that certainly simplifies matters! Lol. I didn't realize that the entire template was deprecated. You can disregard the request. :-) From the looks of it
here there are just of 43,000 of them. I'll get started on converting these this weekend. Confirming they are just being replaced with {{Infobox song}}? --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing)
