KidzSearch Encyclopedia:Calendars
This page is to describe the usage and format of the various standard Template messages used to generate yearly calendars in article pages. These will usually be used in articles related to the years, like 2004.
Like many perpetual calendar systems, this one uses fourteen different year formats. There is one for each day of the week that the year begins on, and another for each equivalent leap year.
Features
Each calendar will generate a link to the specified year at the top. Links to the month and days of the week articles are given. It will also provide links to articles related to individual days of the year (such as January 31), which contain significant daily anniversaries, holidays, and events. It will not link to specific days (such as September 11, 2001).
Usage
In order to use these, determine which generic calendar that year uses, and then copy the listed text into the page. You will usually include it as the first line of the page. Change "####" to the year you intend to use.
The links given in the table are just for convenience; when using the template, you'll only insert the plain text of the cell.
| Jan 1 | Standard year | Leap year |
|---|---|---|
| Sunday | {{Calendar1|year=####}} | {{Calendar8|year=####}} |
| Monday | {{Calendar2|year=####}} | {{Calendar9|year=####}} |
| Tuesday | {{Calendar3|year=####}} | {{Calendar10|year=####}} |
| Wednesday | {{Calendar4|year=####}} | {{Calendar11|year=####}} |
| Thursday | {{Calendar5|year=####}} | {{Calendar12|year=####}} |
| Friday | {{Calendar6|year=####}} | {{Calendar13|year=####}} |
| Saturday | {{Calendar7|year=####}} | {{Calendar14|year=####}} |
Template:Calendar was created as a simple shortcut which can be added to pages which do not need a specific yearly calendar. An ideal use for this would be in the calendar article itself and in the pages for each day of the year, like February 29. By changing this one template as each year passes, all of the related pages will be updated to show the current year's day arrangement.
To insert this into a page, simply add {{calendar}} at the top of the desired page or section.
Year correlations
So that it is easy to see which years use a particular template, here is a reference. The number after each year refers to the numbered {{calendar#}} template to be used.
