Usage

This template is used for storing and displaying holiday decorations that appear on the Recent Changes and Watchlist pages.

To display a message, it should be contained in a subtemplate titled in one of these three formats, which define when it displays:

  • {{Holydaze/MMDD}}
  • {{Holydaze/#DayMM}}
  • {{Holydaze/LDayMM}}

Fixed Gregorian Dates

If a holiday is on a fixed date of the month, create a template of the form: {{Holydaze/MMDD}}, where MM is the month, 01 to 12, and DD is the date, 01 through 31

Moving Date/Fixed Day of the Month

If a holiday is a specific day of the week of a specific week of the month, create a template {{Holydaze/#DayMM}}. For example if the holiday is the third Monday of August the template would be {{Holydaze/3Mon08}}. If holiday is a day in the last week of the month than title the template {{Holydaze/LDayMM}} for example, the last Tuesday in May would be {{Holydaze/LTue05}}. Obviously, we are using three letter abbreviations for the days. In English.

Easter

Easter shows up by itself on the correct date every year. Both Roman and Orthodox. No really, it took ages.
