Line 830:

*The order should be: venue, city/town/commune/municipality, state/province (U.S. and Canada only), and country; all separated by commas.

*If the venue is not known, listing only the city—or at a bare minimum, country—is acceptable.

*The unsponsored name of the venue should be primarily used where one exists and not the sponsored name at the time as per [[WP:COMMONNAME|Commonecommon Namename rules]]. If a venue does not have a common unsponsored name and/or the sponsored name (where the is no common unsponsored name) has since changed, use the name by which it was known at the time of the fight. There is usually no need to pipe link the current name, as Wikipedia's own [[WP:REDIRECT|redirect]] will usually handle it, or one can be manually created.

*In general, if the article for a venue contains the city or state name in the title, use a pipe link to avoid redundancy: {{xt|<nowiki>[[Liverpool Arena]]</nowiki>, England}} or {{xt|<nowiki>[[Connecticut Convention Center|Convention Center]]</nowiki>, Hartford, Connecticut, U.S.}} or {{xt|<nowiki>[[Ice Arena Wales|Ice Arena]]</nowiki>, Cardiff, Wales}}.

**For arenas with the city name forming the first part of the article title, a pipe is not necessary: [[Bolton Arena]] or [[Boston Garden]].
