This is the standard [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (infoboxes)|infobox]] for '''"''Country'' in the Eurovision Song Contest ''Year''"''' pages and uses the '''{{tl|Infobox ESC National Year}}''' template. The box to the right is an example. You can copy-and-paste the code below, adding the info on the country and year you choose to write about.

The infobox code should be placed at the top of the article before all writing, though it should be after any maintenance templates.

===Code===
Most articles should only need the following fields. Do not remove fields from this list when the value is unknown; in that case the values should be left blank.  Please note that the field names are case-sensitive.

===Details===
====Year====
The ''year'' field is for the year of the country's participation being referred to in the article.

====Contest====
The ''contest'' field should only be used when the infobox will not be used on a Eurovision Song Contest page. If it is for the Junior Eurovision Song Contest, type "Junior", otherwise leave it blank.
====Country====
The ''country'' field is for the country being referred to in the article that year. Use the flag template which will show the flag of the country and the country's name: {{GRE}}. For Greece, the code is <nowiki>{{GRE}}</nowiki>. See [[:Category:Flag templates]] to find the code for the appropriate country.

====Preselection====
The ''preselection'' field is to specify the type of preselection (method of choosing the song) held that year.
The possible entries are:
*Internal Selection
*National Final
*Name of country's National Final (ex "[[Melodifestivalen 2008]]")

In the case where a country picks the artist internally, but the song through a National Final, put National Final.

Also, when using National Final, specify (if possible) the method of voting when there is more than one.<br>
:Example: <nowiki>National Final<br> ''60% Tele-Voting/SMS'' <br> ''40% Judging panel''</nowiki>
::National Final<br> ''60% Tele-Voting/SMS'' <br> ''40% Judging panel''

====Preselection date====
The ''preselection date'' field is for the date that the selection process was held on; do not link this date.

====Entrant====
The ''entrant'' field is for the artist/group that was chosen to compete in the contest.

====Song====
The ''song'' field is for the song that was sent to compete. Songs are always surrounded by [[Quotation mark]]s and not [[italics]].
:*"[[Comme Ci, Comme Ça]]"

====SF result====
The ''SF result'' field is for the placing of the country in the Eurovision Semi-final. In [[italics]] write either ''Qualified'' or ''Failed to qualify'' followed in [[Bracket#Parentheses_.28_.29|parenthesis]] by the placing and points received. If the song ''Failed to qualify'', only the placing is necessary in the parenthesis.
:*''Qualified'' (1st, 156 points)<br>
:*''Failed to qualify'' (19th)

====Final Result====
The ''Final result'' field is for the song's placing at the Eurovision Final (if appropriate). List the country's placing followed by a comma and then the points received. If the song failed to qualify, then leave the field blank.
:*3rd, 218 points

===Usage notes===
The infobox should be placed at the top of the page and no line should be skipped after it. Place it after any maintenance tags, but before the main text of the page.
