Template:Infobox song contest entry/doc

This is the standard infobox for an entry in the Eurovision Song Contest and uses the Infobox ESC entry template. The box to the right is an example. You can click on "edit this page" and copy-and-paste the markup to a different article, replacing its information with info on the country and year you choose to write about.

Code

Embedding
By adding yes to the first line of code, one can embed this infobox into another, creating one continuous infobox. Other infoboxes will need to have a special parameter that allows embedding. For example, if the song's page already includes the Infobox Single template, which most should, then the Infobox ESC entry template should be added to the "Misc" field in the Infobox Single template.

Code


Details

 * To learn what to input into each blank, see above and Infobox Single.
 * When using this double template embedding, do NOT use the image and caption fields for an image of the performance or the regular album cover. The album cover can already be seen in the Infobox Single while an image of the performance would be appropriate for the artist's page or in the main body of the text. A promotional cover is acceptable as an image in the ESC infobox.
 * This double template embedding should be used more often than just Infobox Eurovision Song Contest entry since most Eurovision songs are released as CD Singles.
