Events: How to add a page/event to the calendar

It is simple:

  • Add the Category Event to the article;
  • Add the property HasDate to the article

as in the examples:

[[Category:Event]] [[HasDate::gg-mm-aaaa]]
[[Category:Event]] [[HasDate::Feb 11 2000 10:00:01]] (complete date with time)
[[Category:Event]] [[HasDate::Feb 11 2000]] (just date)
[[Category:Event]] [[HasDate::2000]] (just year) 

Page creation: Creating pages and subpages

  • Create a link to the page by putting the name of the page between squared brackets [[ParentPage]]
    • If you want to visualize an alternative text write it beside the page name e.g.: [[ParentPage| alternative text]]
  • If the page is a child of another page e.g. [[ParentPage]], the child page name will be [[ParentPage/ChildPage]]
    • In this way, the child page will automatically have a link to its parent page.

Pictures:

How to upload a picture
  • Go to Upload file from the toolbox menu (on the left bottom)
  • Choose the picture from your file system by clicking on "Browse"
    • If your picture is greater than 150 KB, the system will warn you. We recommend to re-size the picture if it is greater than 350 KB and click "Re-upload", otherwise just click on "save file".
  • Note the "destination name", you will need it for adding the picture into a page
    • If you want change the destination name but keeping the file extension
  • If you want, write a brief description in the summary field
  • Click on "Upload file"
