The template is now available in your wiki.
Preparation[edit | edit source]
Important!The appointments are created in the Events namespace by default. Make sure it exists in your wiki before creating an event. The following settings need to be activated:
- Subpages
- Content namespace
- Visual editor
- Semantic MediaWiki
If you want to use a different namespace, the form fields in the source text of the main calendar page must be adjusted accordingly: Change the parameter namespace=events on the page "Calendar" as needed.
{{#forminput:form=Event|query string=namespace=events}}
Usage[edit | edit source]
It is not possible to create an event page as a recurring event. An event page can however have multiple subentries with their own dates. These subentries are also shown on the calender.
Create event[edit | edit source]
- Go to the page Calendar (via the search or the browser address bar).
- Create a new event using the Create new event input field. Enter a suitable page name here (e.g. Summer festival 2022).
- Fill out the event information form.
- Save the form.
If you want to add more dates to the event that should also appear in the calendar overview (e.g., a date to prepare for the summer festival), you can edit the page again:
- Switch to form-editing mode on the event page.
- Click Add another entry.
- Activate the "More info" checkbox if you want to create an additional subpage for the entry (e.g., for event planning).
- Save the page. If you have activated the "More info" checkbox, the event name is now displayed as a link to a subpage.
Pages included in the import[edit | edit source]

- Calendar
- Template:Calendar
- Template:Calendar/styles.css
