This is a template used to add a [[Wikipedia:Classification|classification]] box to the top of a page based on the subject's nationality and profession. It shows up quite a bit on musician pages and even musician categories. The template itself is fine, but one of the arguments, ''Supercategory'', tends to conflict with the guidelines for third-order categories because the template automatically puts pages directly into second order NI categories, instead of ''NI by genre''. Therefore, on '''category''' pages where this causes a conflict, please simply remove the (optional) ''Supercategory'' argument to resolve the conflict.

===Category:Singer-Instrumentalists===

This is a common type of subcategory, for instance [[:Category:American singer-guitarists]]. These sub categories are fine and don't conflict with the guidelines. Such categories should simply be made sub categories of the appropriate singer and instrumental categories (So [[:Category:American singer-guitarists]] should be a sub-cat of [[:Category:American singers]] and [[:Category:American guitarists]]), but such categories should not themselves be made part of the strucure (e.g., don't put it in [[:Category:American musicians by instrument]] regardless of whether you want to sort it by "Vocals", "Guitar", "Singer-guitar", and any other thing.)

===Category:Singer-songwriters===
