Template:Calendar
Template documentationNote to editors: Please don't categorize this template by editing it directly. Instead, place the category in its documentation page, in its "includeonly" section.
The above calendar box appears on the Main Page and Current events. Additionally, the OSMBC Calendar Parser scrapes the generated HTML code for inclusion in weeklyOSM.
{{Calendar2}} contains the framing, background colors, etc., while this template contains the dates and events. When this calendar appears on translations of Main Page, {{Event date}} automatically translates dates to the appropriate language.
How to update the calendar
This template consists of a single table ordered chronologically from past to future. Each row in the table represents a single event. To add a new event to the calendar, insert the {{Calendar/event}} template on a separate line:
{{Calendar/event
| type = meeting
| date =
| name =
| link =
| url =
| city =
| region =
| country =
}}
Choose the appropriate |type = from the table below. See Template:Calendar/event for more details and options. If in doubt, use this preview page or this JSON generator to verify that the event will be understood correctly by weeklyOSM's calendar parser.
When an event is past, you can remove it from this table, but please remember add it to the Template:PastEvents table.
