==Title==
==Title==
If the event has an official name, use it. Otherwise, a generic name should be used that makes it as easy as possible to identify the event.
For concerts, the title format should be "[Headlining act] at [Venue]." For a co-headlining concert (i.e. 2 or more artists share the top spot), the format should be "[Headliner 1] and [Headliner 2] at [Venue]." The only exceptions to this are if the concert has a special name, e.g. "Alice Cooper's Christmas Pudding 2010," or if the concert is part of the entertainment at a non-music event, e.g. "KISS at Illinois State Fair."


For one-off events, the generic title should generally be of the style "Main Artist(s) at Venue". Use the artist and venue name as appropriate at the time (for example, as shown on the event poster). For concerts that are part of a tour, it is also acceptable to use "Tour Name: City" if that seems more appropriate to the way the events in that specific tour are advertised; either way, aim for consistency for the whole tour. For festivals, append the edition number or year to the festival name.
The venue name should be whatever the venue was named at the time the concert took place. Example: KISS at Palacio de los Deportes de la Comunidad de Madrid. The venue has since changed its name to Barclaycard Center, but it was called Palacio de los Deportes de la Comunidad de Madrid at the time the concert took place, so the name is retained on the Event. **it might make more sense to do this just with relationship credits**


* [[event:072f59fd-0470-4f8f-9bae-d6bd43cb9a03|Moving Shadows: A Dark Solstice Celebration]] has an official name.
If the venue is listed as a large complex containing multiple venues, use the name that is listed on the bill but link to the precise location of the event. Example: Bon Jovi at BJCC. Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex (BJCC) is a complex encompassing more than one venue; Legacy Arena, one of the buildings on the complex, is linked to the concert as it is where the concert was held.

==Venue==
For events taking place in a venue complex with more than one venue inside them, link to the most specific venue if known, even if the event art only indicates the complex.

Only link to an area if the venue cannot be determined at all; do not link to both the venue and the area it is in.

==Date==
For events that happen on one day but are planned to finish after midnight, enter the following day as the end date.

OR

For events that happen on one day but where at least one artist is planned to start performing after midnight, enter the following day as the end date.

OR

For events that happen on one day, enter the same day as the end date, even if the event finishes after midnight.

==Time==
When available, use the official, advertised start time for the event as a whole (commonly "door time"). The start times for specific performers (including the first performer) should be listed as part of the performer relationships, like [[rt:936c7c95-3156-3889-a062-8a0cd57f8946|main performer]].

For one-day festivals with multiple venues, enter an event for the festival, and a sub-event for every venue. Similarly, for multi-day festivals, enter an event for the festival, and a sub-event for every day (and venue, if needed). For multi-day festivals consisting of individual showcases, enter a top level event for the festival plus an event per showcase; a per-day middle layer is only suggested if needed for clarity.

Festivals should be split up by day, and each day should be divided up by stage/venue. The main festival Event, as well as individual days, should be linked to the master location for the festival, with all festival stages linked to the master location. Example: Summerfest 2015 and Summerfest 2015, Day 1 were held at Henry W. Maier Festival Park, while Summerfest 2015, Day 1: Miller Lite Oasis was held at Miller Lite Oasis.
Artists should be linked at the lowest possible level at the time of entry, and should be moved to a lower level when enough information is available. For example, when a festival is first announced, artists should be linked to the main festival event if no dates nor venues are yet available for them. Once this data becomes available, the artists should be added to the sub-event for the applicable day and venue.
The proper name format is "XYZ Festival", "XYZ Festival, Day 1" and "XYZ Festival, Day 1: ABC Stage." Artist appearances should be added on the stage level, with their set times listed in the "time" box. If a guest appears during an artist's set, that guest should share the same set time as the main artist.

If stage information is not available or if there was only one stage at a particular festival, add all artist appearances on the day level.
{{StyleBox}}
For fairs or other multi-day non-music-centered events with concerts as entertainment, add each performance as a concert and link it to a master Event. These events do not have to be split up by day if there is only one performance per stage/venue per day. Example: KISS at Illinois State Fair is linked to Illinois State Fair 2016.
[[Category:WikiDocs Page]]
For all types of Events, setlists should be added in descending sequential order, starting with the artist who performed first. Guest appearances should be listed in the setlist at the moment they appeared during the show.

Status: This is an official style guideline.

Title

If the event has an official name, use it. Otherwise, a generic name should be used that makes it as easy as possible to identify the event.

For one-off events, the generic title should generally be of the style "Main Artist(s) at Venue". Use the artist and venue name as appropriate at the time (for example, as shown on the event poster). For concerts that are part of a tour, it is also acceptable to use "Tour Name: City" if that seems more appropriate to the way the events in that specific tour are advertised; either way, aim for consistency for the whole tour. For festivals, append the edition number or year to the festival name.

Venue

For events taking place in a venue complex with more than one venue inside them, link to the most specific venue if known, even if the event art only indicates the complex.

Only link to an area if the venue cannot be determined at all; do not link to both the venue and the area it is in.

Date

For events that happen on one day but are planned to finish after midnight, enter the following day as the end date.

OR

For events that happen on one day but where at least one artist is planned to start performing after midnight, enter the following day as the end date.

OR

For events that happen on one day, enter the same day as the end date, even if the event finishes after midnight.

Time

When available, use the official, advertised start time for the event as a whole (commonly "door time"). The start times for specific performers (including the first performer) should be listed as part of the performer relationships, like main performer.

Multi-day and multi-stage events

For one-day festivals with multiple venues, enter an event for the festival, and a sub-event for every venue. Similarly, for multi-day festivals, enter an event for the festival, and a sub-event for every day (and venue, if needed). For multi-day festivals consisting of individual showcases, enter a top level event for the festival plus an event per showcase; a per-day middle layer is only suggested if needed for clarity.

Each level of the festival should be linked to the most precise place of area possible. For top-level multi-venue events, that can be an area where all the venues are located.


Artists should be linked at the lowest possible level at the time of entry, and should be moved to a lower level when enough information is available. For example, when a festival is first announced, artists should be linked to the main festival event if no dates nor venues are yet available for them. Once this data becomes available, the artists should be added to the sub-event for the applicable day and venue.
