Otherwise, no categories are selected by default for a new event. New event pages are derived from a particular template page. If the action has been invoked by a link provided by a calendar, the `template` parameter of the !EventAggregator macro may specify the default template page for the new event. If no such parameter was used for the calendar, or if no calendar was involved (such as when the action is invoked from the editing menu), the EventTemplate page is chosen to be the default template page for the event. A technical note: this underlying default setting (the use of EventTemplate) can be changed by setting or editing the `event_aggregator_new_event_template` configuration setting for the Wiki. +== Parent Page == + +{{{#!wiki tip +To manually select the parent page, select the `Show advanced options` button in the form. +}}} + +An event may be assigned a parent page, resulting in the event page being created as a sub-page of this parent page. For a collection of events, a parent page acts as a common container for all the event pages in the collection. For example, a parent page called '''Appointments''' could be defined for the events '''Summer Party''' and '''Winter Party''' with the pages for the events being created as '''Appointments/Summer Party''' and '''Appointments/Winter Party'''. In the calendar, these events would not include '''Appointments''' in their names by default. See the related [[HelpOnEventAggregator#AssigningTemplatesandParentPages|guide to these options]] for more information. + +If the action has been invoked by a link provided by a calendar, the `parent` parameter of the !EventAggregator macro may specify the default parent page for the new event.
