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.
