[[Category:Shows]]

Note: You must manually add [[Category:Shows]] to pages using this template (SMW bug workaround).

Parameters

• artists (required) - Performing artist(s); the headlining name as it appears on the poster
• venue (required) - Venue name (should match a venue page)
• blockheight (required) - Ethereum block height when the show started/starts
• official_poster (optional) - Filename of the official show poster (e.g., "Show-poster.jpg"). Takes priority over image.
• image (optional, deprecated) - Older alias for official_poster. Use official_poster on new pages.
• date (optional) - Human-readable date string (e.g., "Friday, June 5, 2026"). The blockheight is the canonical anchor; date is what humans want to read.
• doors_time (optional) - Door time as displayed text (e.g., "7:30 PM")
• show_time (optional) - Show start time as displayed text (e.g., "8:00 PM")
• poster_artist (optional) - Credit for the graphic designer who made the official poster

For listing the musicians, use {{Ensemble}} as a separate block on the page (one per band — headliner, openers, sit-ins).

• title (optional) - Custom title for social sharing (defaults to "artists at venue - PickiPedia")
• status (optional) - "proposed" for bot-proposed, "verified" for human-verified, blank for unverified
• by (optional) - Who proposed/verified this
• source (optional) - Source for verification
• price (optional) - Ticket price
• tickets (optional) - Ticket purchase URL
• ages (optional) - Age restriction (e.g., "21+", "All ages")
• description (optional) - Short description for social sharing cards

SMW Properties Set

• Artist - The artist(s)
• Venue - The venue
• Blockheight - The block height timestamp
• Poster artist - Graphic designer credit, if provided
• Verification status - proposed/verified/unverified

These names are unprefixed — Venue, not Has venue. {{Venue}}, {{Recurring event}} and {{Jam}} write the Has * family instead, and {{BandInfo}} writes a lowercase one (scene::, genre::, origin::). Three families are live at once, so an #ask written against one of them silently misses the others.

{{Ensemble}} sets no semantic properties. It renders the lineup and nothing else. There is no #set anywhere in the chain {{Ensemble}} → {{m}} → {{ShowInstrument}}; the last of those only reads each musician's Primary instrument with #show. So the lineup on a show page is legible to a reader and invisible to a query — you cannot ask which shows a given musician played.

Property:Has performer does exist, typed Page, but {{Studio track}} is its only writer. If {{Ensemble}} set it too, every show page already written would become queryable by musician after a re-annotation pass. Worth doing; not done.

Page naming

Show pages should be named: Show:ArtistName-blockheight

Examples:

• Show:BillyStrings-24140272
• Show:BillyStrings_DelMcCouryBand-24140500
