Event description guidelines

1. Description of the event: only vital information: a short description of the event (title in italics, by author [[]], (co)produced by Slovene producer [[]] at festival ...
2. Be consistent with order of information
3. Include title of a performance/exhibition/book/project in English if possible
4. If possible, include the internal link to the article in the Culture.si database (eg Slovene producer, organiser)

Categories

• One category or more (in case of multiple disciplines)
• top (if featured on homepage)

Formatting rules

• INTERNAL LINKS should be put into the | Text = field - use [[]] for Slovene artists, Slovene producers, organisers of the event - USE THE EXACT NAME FROM THE C.SI DATABASE
• SLOVENE VENUE ABROAD - if the event happens at the Slovene venue abroad (eg Slovene embassy, A+A Gallery), there is no need to insert an internal link after |at = as the link is done automatically
  • Example: |at = A+A Gallery, Venice (! USE THE EXACT NAME FROM THE C.SI DATABASE)

• DATES - example: | From = 30 May 2011 - | To = 15 June 2011 - In case of one day events, delete the line | To =

• PROGRAMME: insert the web link - OBLIGATORY FIELD!
• If the web address contains strange signs, replace them with the url escape codes
• CATEGORIES - add the additional categories if needed
