Editing Template:Event/doc (section)

==== Additional parameters ====
; type : When left out, this parameter defaults to "event". For dates of birth, use "birth". For death dates, use "death". Additional options for this value have not yet been determined, but will control how the content is managed within SMW.
; ends : For events that occur over an extended period, specify the end date (in [[w:ISO 8601|ISO 8601]] format) with this parameter. If this parameter is not included, the event will be treated as a point moment in time.
; hidedescription : When this parameter is left out (and by default) whatever you put in the "'''Brief description'''" parameter will display within the body of the article text. This makes it easy to create inline event markers, but the natural language of an article may also result in a description that is over-long for an interactive timeline. To hide the text of the parameter (creating an "invisible" event marker within the article), set '''hidedescription''' to 1. Other values have no effect.
Description	What you type	What you get
