Help:Tour history

The tour history section lists all the shows by The Smashing Pumpkins and related acts. This page attempts to explain how everything works from a technical perspective.

Templates used

 * infobox live show – infobox for the show itself
 * live song – indicate which live songs are played
 * banter – enter banter for the show
 * live show gallery – used to display photos for the show (the photos must be uploaded to SPCodex directly)

Layout
The Smashing Pumpkins 2000-12-02 is a good example. The layout should generally look like:
 * infobox live show containing info about the show itself
 * Intro and/or general information about the show. Use the same manual of style we use for other pages, where the first sentence should generally indicate the date of the show in bold.
 * "Setlist" section – if unknown, just put (unknown) in this section and add the Category:Live performances with missing setlists category.
 * "Soundcheck" section (ensuring 1 is set for each live song entry)
 * "Pre-set" section, if applicable
 * "Set one" section, following "Set two", etc.
 * "Encore" section
 * "Notes" section – bullet pointed list of notes specific to the setlist, such as First performance of "Rocket" since February 5, 1997
 * "Banter" section – use the banter template. If no banter is know, do not use the template and simply put (unknown)
 * "Videos" section – For YouTube videos. Here we prefer full or very long videos, not just clips of certain songs. Use the youtube template.
 * "Photos and memorabilia" section – use the live show gallery template.

Index pages
Index pages refer to the pages that list shows, such as The Smashing Pumpkins 2000 tour history. You do not need to update them; they will update automatically whenever the pages on the individual shows are created or modified.

Adding a new show
The best way (currently) is to simply go off of the wikitext used for another show, and change accordingly.
