Template:Calendar is the main place where events are listed

Template:Calendar2 is just a wrapper for it.

The following seem to exist, for use in the calendar:

Duplicate data

Should the "Events" section be deleted, now that information is stored in Template:Calendar? Ojw 17:25, 15 September 2006 (BST) Should it also be deleted because it is now past, rather than future? Rw 17:30, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I've just blown away that old 'Events' section. Now all events will need to be listed in 'Template:Calendar'. If someone wanted to describe an event in more detail, I guess they could create a #section on this page again, but it seems to be more common to just create new wiki pages for event details, or sections on project city pages. -- Harry Wood 13:44, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

rename

how about renaming this, both on the article header and sidebar as 'Planned events' or somesuch, as 'Current events' seems a little odd? just a matter of moving a page on here and editing a mediawiki special message... Morwen 19:53, 14 May 2007 (BST)

I agree. 'Current' seems to suggest that they are all upcoming in the next week or something, although it's not really a huge problem.
But then 'Planned Events' might imply that they are all only in the planning stage.
I'd suggest 'Upcoming Events'
If we are looking at modifying the sidebar (see MediaWiki talk:Sidebar) then we could think about some of the other naming too. e.g. see OpenStreetMap talk:Community Portal -- Harry Wood 11:08, 15 May 2007 (BST)
