Page titles still use the responsible ''featuring'' artist, not necessarily the band that played the show. For example, [[Billy Corgan 1996-01-17]] represents a Pink Floyd show that Corgan guested at. The {{tl|infobox live show}} template should have {{para|artist|Pink Floyd}} and {{para|featuring_artist|Billy Corgan}}. | Page titles still use the responsible ''featuring'' artist, not necessarily the band that played the show.

=== Venue information === | |||
Venue information is stored using the {{Tl|infobox live show}} template. | |||
Some venues have their own pages, in which case you don't need to enter any data for the venue in the infobox unless it differs from what the venue page says. To make this work, supply a normal wikilink to the venue page for the {{Para|venue}} parameter. Existing venues can be browsed at [[:Category:Venues]]. For example, if the show was at the [[Metro]], you'd simply put {{Para|venue|<nowiki>[[Metro]]</nowiki>}} and then the coordinates, location, venue type and capacity will automatically be shown. Use a piped link to change the label if you wish. For example, MTV Studios has two pages: [[MTV Studios]] and [[MTV Studios (London, UK)]]. If you wanted to enter in the latter, it would be redundant to show "London, UK" in the venue name since that's implied by the location, so you may enter the venue as <code><nowiki>[[MTV Studios (London, UK)|MTV Studios]]</nowiki></code>. | |||
For venues that don't have their own pages, the convention is to see if there is a Wikipedia article for the venue. If there is, include an [[Mw:Help:Links#Interwiki%20links|interwiki]] link to it, like {{Para|venue|<nowiki>[[w:Teatro Metropólitan|Teatro Metropólitan]]</nowiki>}}. The Wikipedia article will usually have the coordinates, location, and capacity information that you can copy from. Coordinates are usually shown on Wikipedia at the top-right of the article; clicking on the link will bring you to a tool that provides the exact latitude and longitude values. | |||
If there is no Wikipedia article, try using Google Maps to find the venue, right-click on the pin icon on the map and click on the coordinates to copy the coordinates. The first value will be the latitude, and the second is the longitude, which are entered with separate fields in the live show infobox. | |||
As for the '''venue type''', it is recommended to chose from one the [https://spcodex.wiki/wiki/Special:CargoQuery?title=Special%3ACargoQuery&tables=shows&fields=venue_type%2C+COUNT%28_ID%29%3DCount&where=&join_on=&group_by=venue_type&having=&order_by%5B0%5D=COUNT%28_ID%29&order_by_options%5B0%5D=DESC&limit=500&offset=&format= existing values]. Capitalization is not important. Use your judgement on which venue type makes the most sense, or feel free to enter in a new venue type. | |||
Note that it is ''not important'' to follow these instructions! They are very tedious to follow, so if you're confused or just don't have time to work on it, don't worry about it. | |||
