Template:Infobox event/doc

Infobox event is WikiPartner's standard infobox for notable events.

Use it for sporting events, concerts, festivals, conferences, exhibitions, business events, cultural events, public gatherings, and other notable scheduled events.

All parameters are optional. Add only information supported by reliable sources. Empty fields are automatically hidden.

Adding this template to an article also generates WikiPartner Event structured data automatically. When a recognized event type is used, WikiPartner may generate a more specific Schema.org event type such as SportsEvent, MusicEvent, or ConferenceEvent.

Event types

Use a clear value in event_type.

WikiPartner automatically maps commonly used values to more specific Schema.org event types.

Examples include:

Sports event
Music event
Concert
Conference
Business event
Festival
Exhibition
Literary event
Education event
Theater event
Performing arts event
Visual arts event
Social event
Hackathon
Food event
Screening event
Comedy event
Children's event
Sale event
Publication event

If the value does not match a specialized event type, WikiPartner uses the general Schema.org Event type.
