How do I add an Event to the Calendar?

It's very easy to add an event to the calendar.

Before you start you need to understand that the calendar is an automatic function that includes any page with the correct categories. It's wise to design the page about the event itself to be separate from a page on the organisation which holds the event. {{Railfan convention}} will be helpful reading.

In the left hand margin, below the calendar, is a link: calendar help. This page, written by the author of the calendar feature, describes the way to do it.

There are special categories for events. Cat:Events is the umbrella category for all events, and there is a special date format category to place the event within the left hand margin calendar scheme in the format:

[[Category:YYYY/MM/DD]]
