			A list of relevant external links should be added at the bottom of the page, in the regular format common to all other pages.

			=== Categorization ===
			At the very least the page should be tagged with the category [[:Category:Music Events in Malta\|Music Events in Malta]]. Other appropriate categories should also be added, especially if the contest has a category tag with which this particular edition would be included along with others like it.

			=== Links to other editions of the same contest ===
			Links to other editions of the same contest or related events are included through templates, which transclude common information and links across all related events. A list of available templates is indicated through the top level page [[Song Contests in Malta]].

New page

Whenever pages about song contests are created, these guidelines should be followed to ensure consistency across different events of a similar nature and through the various years.

== Preliminary checking ==

=== Is the contest listed? ===
The first thing to check is whether the contest in general, rather than the specific edition, is mentioned on the list of [[Song Contests in Malta]].

If it is listed follow the appropriate link to view a list of the various editions of that particular contest.

If it is not listed create a link to it on [[Song Contests in Malta|this page]]. Please be careful not to duplicate names or use any name other than the official title as it appears on the souvenir programme and/or official logo for the event.

=== How is the particular edition named? ===
Some contests go by edition number, others simply include the year as a way to indicate. It is essential that each edition is named the same way as given by the event organisers.

If an event is commonly known by the year, but the official name is attached to the particular edition number, than simply create a #REDIRECT page to ensure that the page is easily found.

=== Is the edition listed? ===
Each set of events under the same name should be listed on a generic page to ensure that general information pertaining to the history and development of the event over the years is captured in an appropriate manner.

All editions are to be listed on the generic page in ascending order, with the earliest edition first and so on until the most recent edition.

== Individual event page structure ==

=== Lead paragraph ===

As with all other pages, there should be a lead sentence or paragraph describing general fact about the event. Here are a couple of examples:

The '''35th edition of L-Għanja Tal-Poplu''' was held on Saturday 4 December 2010 at the Grand Ballroom of the Hotel Phoenicia in Floriana.

OR

'''Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2012''' is the television show by which PBS selected Malta's entry to the 2012 Eurovision Song Contest to be held in Baku, Azerbaijan between the 22 and 26 May 2012.

The lead paragraph should also include a sentence or two about each of the following things, if available:

- Details about the preliminary selection/s
- Details about the broadcast, including station name, name of hosts, as well any other related information.
- Information about the main prize, if this hasn't already been mentioned in the lead sentence.

==== Logo ====
A high-resolution file containing the logo for the event should be uploaded and included with the lead paragraph whenever possible.

=== Songs ===
The first subsection should be a list of songs.

All competing songs should be listed. If there are quarter finals or semi finals then sub-sections for each of these can be created, in ascending order, with the final listed last.

=== The Winners ===
Details about the winners, runner up, and other prizes given at the contest should be listed under a subsection called The Winner or Winners, as appropriate.

=== Judges or Jury ===
A list of judges (or in most cases The Jury) comes next.

=== Sponsors etc. ===
Sponsors and other details come last.
