Line 16:

* Intro and/or general information about the show. Use the same [[SPCodex:Manual_of_Style#Lead|manual of style]] we use for other pages, where the first sentence should generally indicate the date of the show in bold.

*If there is a decent quality full (or mostly full) video on YouTube, it is often placed here below the intro and above the Setlist. Use the {{Tl|full live video}} template for this.

* "Setlist" section – if unknown, ~~just~~ put {{tq|(unknown)}} in this section ~~and add the [[:Category:Live performances with missing setlists]] category~~. Song entries should be made using the {{tl|live song}} template, prefixed with a pound sign <code><nowiki>#</nowiki></code> which generates the numbering. To continue the numbering across different sections ("Encore", for instance), supply the <code>|position=</code> parameter to the {{tl|live song}} template, for example <code><nowiki>{{live song|1979|position=10}}</nowiki></code>. Alternatively, you wrap the live song template in an <nowiki><li></nowiki> tag, for instance <code><nowiki># <li value=10>{{live song|Cherub Rock}}</li></nowiki></code> to make the numbering start at 10.

* "Setlist" section – if unknown, put {{Tl|no setlist}} (or {{Tl|unknown setlist}}) in this section.

** "Soundcheck" section (ensuring {{para|soundcheck|1}} is set for each {{tl|live song}} entry)

** Song entries should be made using the {{tl|live song}} template, prefixed with a pound sign <code><nowiki>#</nowiki></code> which generates the numbering. To continue the numbering across different sections ("Encore", for instance), supply the <code>|position=</code> parameter to the {{tl|live song}} template, for example <code><nowiki>{{live song|1979|position=10}}</nowiki></code>. Alternatively, you wrap the live song template in an <nowiki><li></nowiki> tag, for instance <code><nowiki># <li value=10>{{live song|Cherub Rock}}</li></nowiki></code> to make the numbering start at 10.

** "Pre-set" section, if applicable. If this is a VIP performance (meaning very few in attendance), set <code>|vip=1</code> on the {{tl|live song}} template.

*** "Soundcheck" section (ensuring {{para|soundcheck|1}} is set for each {{tl|live song}} entry)

** "Set one" section, following "Set two", etc.

*** "Pre-set" section, if applicable. If this is a VIP performance (meaning very few in attendance), set <code>|vip=1</code> on the {{tl|live song}} template.

** "Encore" section

*** "Set one" section, following "Set two", etc.

* "Notes" section – bullet pointed list of notes about the setlist or show overall, such as {{tq|First performance of "Rocket" since [[The Smashing Pumpkins ~~1997~~-02-05|~~February 5, 1997~~]]}}

*** "Encore" section

* "Notes" section – bullet pointed list of notes about the setlist or show overall, such as {{tq|First performance of "[[Rocket]]" since [[The Smashing Pumpkins 2007-11-16|2007-11-16]]}}.

** About 48 hours after the date of the show, the {{Tl|live song}} template will start automatically showing which songs were the first, the only, or the last performance. So, this type of information isn't needed under "Notes". You may however feel to say "''First performance of "Cherub Rock" by Billy Corgan since YYYY-MM-DD''" as these per-artist statistics aren't automated (yet).

** As for what should constitute as being worthy of mention, is mostly up to the editor. Songs that haven't been played in under two years aren't normally considered noteworthy solely to state that as fact, but perhaps it's a special song with special meaning at that show and is only sporadically played otherwise, etc. You make the judgement call.

* "Banter" section – use the {{tl|banter}} template. If no banter is know, do '''not''' use the template and simply put {{tq|(unknown)}}

* "Videos" section – For YouTube videos. Here we prefer full or very long videos, not just clips of certain songs. Use the {{tl|youtube}} template.
