Help:Extension:CampaignEvents/Collaboration list/Transclusion

Summary

[edit]

The Collaboration List is a global list of events and a local list of WikiProjects on a given wiki (see examples on English Wikipedia and Spanish Wikipedia. It is available via Special:AllEvents on any wiki that has the CampaignEvents extension enabled.

You can embed the Collaboration List on any wiki page, if the CampaignEvents extension is enabled on that wiki. To do this, you transclude the Collaboration List on a wiki page. You can also choose to customize the Collaboration List through URL parameters, if you want. For example, you can choose to only display a certain number of events or to add formatting. You can find more details on customization in the "Examples" section below.

There are many benefits of transcluding the Collaboration List on a wiki page, including:

• You can add an event calendar to a wiki page that updates automatically.
• You can make a wiki page feel more communal and engaging with a list of events/WikiProjects.
• You can help people find events and/or WikiProjects that may interest them.
• You can support other people organizing collaborative activities on the wikis.
• You can encourage editors to improve information about WikiProjects on Wikidata.

2. Go to a wiki page and click Edit.
3. Use the source editor, and type: {{Special:AllEvents}}
4. Add any customizations you want (see below for some examples).
5. Publish changes.
