Template:Holy days/doc

''This template is no longer being maintained so its contents will be stale. It has been replaced by the On this day template. Use at your own risk.''

Description
This template takes in a date from the Calendar of Harptos and outputs a bulleted list of facts about the date (if any). The primary (and perhaps only) use for this is as a feature on the front page of this wiki.

Usage
Input is a string consisting of the day of the month (not zero padded) and the name of the month (first letter capitalized).

produces:

The input is intended to come from the FR date template which converts Gregorian dates to Forgotten Realms dates. The template will accept the older spelling Eleasias but replace it with the newer Eleasis. The five special days plus Shieldmeet on leap years are formatted as wiki links.

Presentation Guidelines
The template is really just one big  statement so it's not very complicated but it is large and perhaps confusing to edit. When adding new holy days or other information about calendar dates, please adhere to the following guidelines in order to keep it relatively easy for others to modify and to make a good presentation on the main page of our wiki. | 1 Eleasis     = Worshipers of the halfling deity Cyrrollalee celebrate Hearthday
 * The days are listed in calendar order, so please insert new ones in the the correct place
 * Each day has one and only one entry beginning with a vertical bar ( | ), then the date, followed by an equals sign ( = ), followed by a factoid within  tags. For example:
 * Spaces are not important except for the one space between the date and the month, but lining up the dates and having the equal signs mostly line up aids the eye when scanning down the list for things.
 * If there are no factoids for a given date, then leave it out of the switch statement.
 * If you are adding a factoid to a date that already has one or more, then put a newline after the previous  tag and start the next line with   to make it more readable.
 * Since this template is not based on any particular year, it will contain factoids from many different eras in the Forgotten Realms. Please write in present tense, similar to the way the Years pages are written.
 * There should be at least one wiki link in each factoid.
 * Try to alphabetize a series of same-day factoids by the most important link within each (usually the name of a deity).
 * Leave general statements about the date as the first factoid in the list. For example, the fact that 20 Nightal is the Winter Solstice should be listed first, followed by the rest of the factoids.
 * Write your factoids as if they begin with "On this day..."
