There are currently three main options for including calendars on {{qed}} pages:
* using one of the pre-defined calendar templates;
* embedding a (possibly private) [[Help:Google Calendar|Google Calendar]] on a page;
* using the [[Help:Calendar tag|calendar]] tag.

This page is primarily about the first of these options.

Here is an example produced using one of the {{qed}} templates. These templates make it simple to edit the daily entries for a calendar.

{{Calendar for Thursday
| title='''October 2009'''
| width=75%
| rowheight=5em
| 3 = [[wikipedia:Succoth|Succoth]]
| 12 = [[wikipedia:Columbus Day|Columbus Day]]
| 31 = [[Image:Halloween150.png|50px]]
}}

==How To==
First one must select the appropriate [[Help:template|template]]. If the first day of the month falls on a Monday, then
[[Template:Calendar for Monday]] would be used, and similarly for other months.

The basic syntax for producing a calendar is illustrated by the following:

<pre>
{{Calendar for Monday
| title='''February 2010'''
| days = 28
| 1 = Text for day 1
| 12 = Text for day 12
}}
</pre>

All the parameters are optional, but if the month has fewer than 31 days, then the parameter "days=NN" must be specified, where NN is the number of days in the month. 

Some other points to note:
* Since the "|" and "=" characters play a special syntactic role, one must be careful if a parameter value contains either or both of these characters. One workaround is as follows:
** use <nowiki>{{!}}</nowiki> for the "pipe" ("|") character 
** use <nowiki>{{eq}}</nowiki> for the "equals" ("=") character

Here is the [[Help:wikitext|wikitext]] used to produce the above calendar for October 2009:

<pre>
{{Calendar for Thursday
| title='''October 2009'''
| width=75%
| rowheight=5em
| 3 = [[wikipedia:Succoth|Succoth]]
| 12 = [[wikipedia:Columbus Day|]]
| 31 = [[Image:Halloween150.png|50px]]
}}
</pre>

As usual in wikitext, when the ":" character appears in column 1, it indents the text.

Further details about the {{qed}} calendar templates can be found at [[Template:Calendar for Monday]].

==Hyperlinks==
The standard methods for creating links from entries in a calendar can be used, as documented on [[Help:Hyperlinks]]. 

In particular, [[Template:anchor]] can be used to create link targets within a page, including within a calendar itself.
This may be useful when a page contains multiple calendars.

==CSS Classes==
The event calendar templates use the following [[Help:CSS|CSS]] classes:

* CalendarForMonth
* CalendarForMonthDays (the row of column headers)
* CalendarForMonthSunday (the column header for Sunday)
* CalendarForMonthSaturday (the column header for Saturday)
* CalendarForMonthRow (a row of seven days)
* CalendarForMonthEntry

==Editing Event Calendars using the Rich Text Editor==
A [[Help:RTE| Rich Text Editor]] is currently available on {{qed}} on a trial basis. This editor allows WYSIWYG-like editing of event calendars. For further details, see [[Help:Editing Event Calendars]].
