The format of a show page is as follows:

Title[edit]

The title of your page should include the following information, in order:

  • City and state (or country, if outside the US)
  • Date of show, in YYYY-MM-DD format

For instance, the page for the show on April 3, 2008, in Northampton, Massachusetts, is titled, Northampton, MA: 2008-04-03.

Contents[edit]

Be sure to include

[[Category:Shows]]

or if the show is in the future,

[[Category:Upcoming Shows]]

The first heading of your page should be the city and state again, as follows:

==Northampton, MA ==

(This is done to make it play nicely with the Shows calendar.)

Next, include the name of the venue, and a link to the venue's website would be nice, too. If the show is upcoming and tickets are available online, a link to the box office is always a plus.

If JoCo performed with any supporting acts, name them, and provide a link to their JoCopedia page if one exists. Or if one doesn't, and someone may make it.

Setlists[edit]

Setlists are good things to have, although at times they are unavailable. Links to recordings of the show should be included with the setlist.

For example, here are a few lines of the setlist from the Los Angeles, CA: 2006-10-09 show.

  • Setlist:
  1. The Future Soon - video
  2. Skullcrusher Mountain - video
  3. First of May - video
  4. Shop Vac - video

The code to produce this is as follows:

* Setlist:

# [[Skullcrusher Mountain]] - [http://youtube.com/watch?v=z53WLtowYBo video]
# [[First of May]] - [http://youtube.com/watch?v=gRhPeJ3uzOc video]
# [[Shop Vac]] - [http://youtube.com/watch?v=GhSSiKFyg1I video]

Shows calendar[edit]

To make sure the show is linked to from the Shows calendar, do the following:

  • As above, make sure the first heading of the show page is its city and state.
  • Find the date of the show on the shows calendar and click "Add show."
  • Edit the resulting page and make it a redirect to your show page, as follows:
#REDIRECT [[Title of your show page]]
