IndieWiki:Levels

This is the levels system, a series of templates telling you at a glance how popular a band or group is.

Level 0
Level0

The lowest level, used for bands known only at local level, with no EPs or albums, and still unsigned. Articles of such bands are usually stubs, and are generally written by band members or close friends of such band members.

Example: No bands.

Level 1
Level1

Level 1 articles are for bands who are signed to a small, local label, and have released one EP or album. They have a small cult following. Again, these are normally short articles.

Example: Downswitch

Level 2
Level2

These bands have had more experience in gigs than Levels 0 and 1, and have released more than one EP/Album. They might even have made the charts.

Example:Colon Open Bracket

Level 3
Level3

Bands with lots of great reviews and lots of airplay are put into Level 3. They have been signed, and critics love them. They also have had one or more singles in the charts, and an EP or two.

Example:Operator Please

Level 4
Level4

Level 4 bands are really close to not being a small band anymore. They have all the traits of a signed band, but only have a small following. Keep an eye on these articles, as when the band gets too big, they should be marked with former.

Example:The Wombats
