Template:Festival edition
Festival edition
Infobox for one year of a festival: Grey Fox 2026, Hillberry 2026, Wickenburg Bluegrass Festival 2025. The series itself gets a page built with Template:Festival.
One template, past and future
There is deliberately no separate template for a festival that has not happened yet. An upcoming edition is not a different kind of document; it is the same document before the facts land. This template reads the dates and says Upcoming or Held accordingly, and the empty sections of the page are the worklist.

Parameters
- festival - The series page. Page-valued; this is what makes the edition appear on it.
- start, end - ISO dates,
2026-10-08. A one-day festival may leave end unset. - edition - Which annual one this was. Wickenburg's 45th.
- venue, location, city, state - Where, if it differs from the series or the series page does not exist yet.
- attendance - If a figure was published, with the source said in prose.
- image, caption - Commons files work.
- website - This edition's own page, where one exists.
- source, checked - Where the lineup was read from, and the date it was last read. An Artificial Dumb tool writes checked every run whether or not anything changed, so that a stale page looks stale.
- description - A sentence rendered under the infobox.
What belongs on the page
The lineup is the part of a festival the internet already keeps; the festival's own site will have it, and so will a dozen listings. What evaporates is the rest of it — the wildfire smoke over the Catskills in 2026, the caterpillars at EMS, the burn ban, who sat in with whom at two in the morning by somebody's camper. Give that its own section and write it plainly. It is the reason the page is worth having.
Record individual sets with Template:Set, which attaches performers to the set rather than to the band — see that template for why.
