So you want to create a new event. Great!
Here's some simple steps.
Decide on a page name
To fit with the current formatting, each event needs its own unique "event page".
Event page names usually take the format:
- Short_Event_Name_Month_Day_Year
For example:
Decide where to put your event
If your event is within the next week, consider adding your event to the section Current Events
If your event is more than a week away, consider adding your event to the section Upcoming Events
Add your event page
- Jump to editing current events
- Jump to editing upcoming events
Adding current events
Within the Current Events section you will see links that look like:
- {{:Local_Banks_Occupy_11_04_11}}
That syntax expands/includes your event directly onto the main page. ( Note: there are two curly braces '{', followed by a colon ':' )
Adding upcoming events
Within the Upcoming Events section you will see links that look like:
- * [[Local_Banks_Occupy_11_04_11]]
That syntax will create a bulleted list of links, and your event will be one of those events. ( Note: there is an asterisk followed by two square braces '[' )
Edit your event page
After you add your event page to the appropriate section of the OccupyPortlandEvents page, all you have to do is save the page. You will get a link colored in red that will take you to your new event page so that you can edit it.
Example:
If you edit an existing event, you can see how they are formatted.
For example: Edit Local Banks Occupy
The Template:Occupy Portland Event has more information on the standard formatting used.
