Editing an article

The following example on how to edit an article is based on the EVENTS page. The other pages work similarily, so please use this guideline. Thank you.

If you want to add a new UPCOMING EVENT, please go to the EVENTS page and click "edit" at the "upcoming events" section.

You can then copy the text as shown in the screenshot and paste it above the last entry. So we make sure to keep the upcoming events in a chronological order.

The above was the easy task :-) What about adding a new article in the "EVENTS ARCHIVE" section? You can do this by clicking "edit" on the section.

Then copy (STRG+C) a sample code from another article and paste it in the chronological order.
Example: You want to add a new event, that happend in March 2008. Copy the code from the headline till the ending "|}". THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. DON'T MISS OUT THE "|}" at the end!! Please see the sample code below.

==='''Rebecca meets Lars - March 2008'''===
{| width="100%"
|-
|width="44%" style="vertical-align:top" |
<div style="margin: 0; margin-right:10px; border: 1px solid #dfdfdf; padding: 0 1em 1em 1em; background-color:#FFFFFF; align:right;">

</div>

|width="2%" style="vertical-align:top" |
|width="54%" style="vertical-align:top"|
<div style="margin:0; border:1px solid #dfdfdf; padding: 0em 1em 1em 1em; background-color:#F8F8FF; align:left;">

YOUR TEXT GOES HERE

</div>
|}

Paste (STRG+V) the code before or after the other article (newer articles on top!).
NOTE: Many times you will end up copying and pasting code, in order to make editing your article a lot easier. Feel free to try it out.

If there are the following lines on the bottom of a page, please leave them there (right at the bottom).
