Help:Tournament tutorial

Hi, this will be a tutorial for how to create your own tournament, and maintain it, on Liquipedia. We'll broadly go over the main sections and templates used on tournaments pages, for more detailed information you can dive into the respective template's documentation page or study exemplary pages like the Huya Defender Cup page.
A good basic page to build up from is the Tournament template which showcases templates used on many (if not all) tournament pages, but it is still encouraged that you first read this page to find all the tools available.

An important part of any Liquipedia page is good headings to make an easy to navigate Table of Contents (or TOC)-box. Often used top level headers include Format, Prize Pool, Participants, Results and References. You can of course create others and ignore some to best suit the tournament you're creating the page for. You create a heading by starting a new line and entering: ==HEADER NAME==, then another line break after it so as to leave it as the only text or code on that line. If you want to make a sub header within that section, use three equal-signs on each side of the name, and a further sub heading would be four equal-signs on each side.

Infobox League[edit]

An Infobox is one of the standard features of any Liquipedia page and it's no different for tournaments and leagues, situated at the top right corner of a page it gives brief information about the tournament. The {{Infobox league}}-template should come before the article text, but perhaps after other templates such as Tabs or Stub, and also after a banner, should you have added that to the top of the page. Following will be the explanation of the code, and some templates for you to use on a tournament page
