EP vs. single[edit]

@Doomsdayer520: Alright, so here's the thing: in a recent edit, you noted issues with my edit of the code in this article's infobox (as I made it display "EP and single by Ghost"), and you cited your reasoning with Template:Infobox album. Would you perhaps agree to have the code be simply "type = other" (which would produce "Recording by Ghost")? I don't think it's safe to just refer to it as an EP in the infobox. For reference, below is a comparison of reasons I've found to consider it either an EP or a single.

Support for the release being an EP:

The title, Seven Inches of Satanic Panic, is italicized and not the title of either song included on the release. These are characteristic of an EP.
An article published by Kerrang! describes it as a two-track EP.
An article by Metal Injection describes it as an EP.

Support for the release being a single:

The release contains two songs: an A-side, "Kiss the Go-Goat", and a B-side, "Mary on a Cross" (source). This is characteristic of a single.
An article published by Metal Hammer describes it as a single.

Furthermore, an article published by Blabbermouth.net cites a press release which describes the record as a "double-A-side seven-inch single", and this description is corroborated by an article published by Revolver. Because there isn't consensus on whether or not Seven Inches of Satanic Panic is an EP or a single (and, if it's the latter, what type of single it is), I think we should probably list the "type" in the infobox as "other". –Matthew - (talk) 18:53, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@MatthewHoobin: Personally I would lean toward EP but "Other" is a good compromise. And in the end, it would be nice if more than one value could go in that field but it's a Template issue that is bigger than this discussion. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:10, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Doomsdayer520: Okay, I'll go ahead and do that then. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused; I wasn't aware that the field in question isn't supposed to contain more than one value. –Matthew - (talk) 22:39, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
