This is the standard [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style (infoboxes)|infobox]] for '''"''Country'' in the Eurovision Song Contest ''Year''"''' pages and uses the '''{{tl|Infobox song contest 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.

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto">
{{Infobox song contest national year 
| Year =
| Contest =
| Broadcaster =
| Country =
| Flag variant =
| Preselection =
| Preselection date =
| Entrant =
| Song =
| Writer =
| SF result =
| Final result =
| Prev =
| Next =
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

===Details===
====Year====
The ''Year'' field is for the year of the country's participation being referred to in the article.
The template will look back up to 2 year and back up to years automatically and adds these years to the bottom of the template. If there are instances were a country missed more than 2 years in a row and you need to reflect this on the template, then add <code><nowiki>|Prev = </nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>|Next = </nowiki></code> to the bottom of the template. This will allow you to manually input the year.

For example, the Czech Republic missed the {{Escyr|2010}}, {{Escyr|2011}}, {{Escyr|2012}}, {{Escyr|2013}} and {{Escyr|2014}} contests, so you need the infobox for [[Czech Republic in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015]] to enable you to bypass these years. Using the following method will let you do this.

If the participation is either the country's first or the most recent, then the ''Prev'' or ''Next'' parameters can be set to <code>none</code>. This prevents the infobox from linking to the next or previous article, for example
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto">
{{Infobox song contest national year 
| Year = 2015
| Contest =
| Broadcaster =
| Country = Czech Republic
| Flag variant =
| Preselection =
| Preselection date =
| Entrant =
| Song =
| Writer =
| SF result =
| Final result =
| Song =
| Prev = 2009
| Next =
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

====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.

====Broadcaster====
The ''Broadcaster'' field is for the participating broadcaster entering the contest that year representing the country referred to in the article. Put the broadcaster's full name preferably, followed by its abbreviation in parenthesis. Make sure the full name and its spelling are the ones used by the broadcaster that year.

====Country====
{{see also|Template:Flag}}
The ''Country'' field is for the country being referred to in the article that year. Put the countries name, without linking and using a flag template, the infobox will automatically produce the flag through coding and the link to the article of the country in the contest.

Example: {{para|Country|Bosnia and Herzegovina}} {{Esc|Bosnia and Herzegovina}}.

====Flag variant====
{{see also|Template:Flag}}
The ''Flag variant'' field is for displaying historically correct flags for the country in the infobox. By default, the template uses the current flag of the country. Put the year of the outdated flag's introduction for it to display the correct flag.

Example: {{para|Country|Bosnia and Herzegovina}} {{para|Flag variant|1992}} {{Esc|Bosnia and Herzegovina|1992}}.

====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 cases where a mix of preselection formats were used to select a country's entry, for example where an artist was selected internally by the broadcaster but the song was chosen through a national final, both methods can be listed by using the following format:

<code><nowiki>'''Artist:''' Internal selection '''Song:''' National final</nowiki></code>

====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 perform the song competing in the contest.

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

====Writer====
The ''Writer'' field is for the composers/lyricists of the song chosen to compete in the contest. For songs which have multiple songwriter credits, please each songwriter in the box using the {{[[Template:Unbulleted list|Unbulleted list]]}} template.

====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) 
:*''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.
