Template:Event/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Event.
It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is for displaying information about single real-world events (e.g. Wikimedia in meatspace). It adds pages to the relevant "Events in <year>" categories, and future events to Category:Future events.

It implements (some of) the h-event microformat, and (some of) the Event schema.

Usage

{{event
| what     = Descriptive title of the event
| when     = Date and time, e.g. 2017-06-15 14:30 +8:00
| end      = Date and time, e.g. 2017-06-15 16:30 +8:00
| location = Location of the event, e.g. use {{place}}
| who      = Responsible organization, e.g. use {{organization}}
| url      = External URL if applicable (defaults to current page)
| image    = Image file name (without 'File:' prefix)
| summary  = General description paragraph
}}

Notes:

The end parameter is optional.
If no url is given, it defaults to the canonical URL of the page on which the template appears.
Events in the future will be added to Category:Future events and displayed with a yellow star in their box's header.
