Forum:Automatic calendar saves time

Add future events to automatic calendar
A good Wikia development is the automated calendar, which can be added to any page just with. That gives a 3-month spread. For other desired lengths, insert "numberofmonths=12" or some such before the slash, leaving spaces before and after.

Set it and forget it! Add any coming event to the calendar as soon as you know about it (eg when a campaign website announces it). It will appear on the calendar when its month appears, until the day is past, but remains as an ordinary wiki page (attracting search engines, listed in Category:Events, and able to be edited at any time with, for example, other relevant categories and a report of how the event went).

Make one organisation's events subpages of the relevant page (each with a distinctive name) so that they get the automatic backlink at the top. See example at Blackout Britain/Blackout City - Lights Out London.
