Naming Your Event Page
- The default format is: "EventName ASYear/ModernYear". e.g. For this year's "Troll Stomp" the event name would be "Troll Stomp XL/2005". Help with ASYear characters.
- If the event name isn't unique in the Kingdom, add the branch name to the beginning. e.g. For this year's Baronial Banquet in Madrone, it would be "Madrone Baronial Banquet XL/2005" (to distinguish it from "Three Mountains Baronial Banquet XL/2005" or "Lions Gate Baronial Banquet XL/2005").
- Examples from the Wiki: Clinton War XL/2005, Seagirt Sergeants Trials XL/2005
Repeating Events
- Events that repeat every year get their own home "EventName" page which lists the events through the years.
- Using the examples from above, these would be called "Troll Stomp" and "Madrone Baronial Banquet".
- This page should include the [[Category:Events]] tag at the bottom so that it will be automatically listed on the Category:Events page.
- Examples from the Wiki: Clinton War, Seagirt Sergeants Trials
- Sample link path: Category:Events > Clinton War > Clinton War XL/2005
Load the Event Templage
- To load in the default event template to your blank event page, type this at the top of the blank page: {{subst:EventTemplate}}
- Click the "Save page" button. Click the "Edit" tab to go back into the page.
- Replace all instructions (text in brackets) and all text that starts with "Sample:" with real information. Use the "Show preview" button often to see what your content looks like.
- Don't forget to include a link to the branch on your event page, and a link to your event on your branch page.
- Tip: Calendar copy for An Tir events back to July 2001 can be found on the An Tir website at http://antir.sca.org/Upcoming/index.php (Look for the "Past Events" button just above this month's calendar.) This can be very useful when you're trying to reconstruct events in the past.
