Template:HistoryOrQuote/doc

This is a Main Page Template which is set up to display unique and variable information, depending on the date.
 * Usage

The template by default transcludes from Random Quote. However, if the current server date matches a date on this template's list of dates, the default quote is switched out, and a description of a historical event significant to the series (such as a game release, a developer's birthday, etc) is given instead.

Note that changes to the random quotes displayed by default must be made in Random Quote.
 * Syntax

All dates are (for convenience) sorted in chronological order. To add an event, copy over the following, substituting relevant information:

| -= .

The MONTH and DATE parameters must be numerical; the months of January through September have leading zeroes (i.e. January = 01, February = 02, etc), whereas the first through tenth days in each month do not use leading zeroes (i.e. the first day of the month = 1, second day = 2, etc). The H template contains the section's graphical display for the Main Page, and must be included within each event.

Although not necessary for the template to function, please sort date entries chronologically. Do not place any entries after the final entry - doing so will cause the Random Quote to no longer display.
