This template is used to invite Wikipedia users to in-person Wikipedia events in their geographical area. It takes the following parameters in this order: page for more info, date of event, and location. The template gives a default output if no parameters are used.
![]() | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Invite}} ). |
Usage
[edit]Before using this template to invite Wikipedia users to events, first create a Wikipedia page describing the event. Include the date, time, and location of your event on a page that you create at WP:MEETUP. The page name of your event must be in the format 'Wikipedia:Meetup/eventname'.
Parameters:
- First parameter = page within WP:MEETUP which describes your event. For example, if your event is described at Wikipedia:Meetup/seattlewp, then only give the parameter 'seattlewp' for this field:
{{subst:Invite|seattlewp}}
- Second parameter = date or date and time of the event
- Third parameter = place of the event, such as a city name
Be sure to remember to add your signature ( ~~~~ ) after the template, as the text refers to a personal invitation from the poster.
