Template:Side event row

A row of the table listing side events for a given year. For use in the List of side events page.

• {{{1}}}/date - The date of the side event (assuming it has a singular date). Should include a link to the announcement.
• {{{2}}}/name - The name of the side event. Should attempt to link to the page.
• {{{3}}}/cats - The category or categories of the side event. Multiple categories can be specified and should be separated by a comma and a space (", "). Any properly formatted combination of Arts, History, Literature, Science, and Trash will be colored - any other options will not be.
• {{{4}}}/subject (optional) - The specific subject/gimmick of the side event.
• {{{5}}}/format (optional) - The format of the packets. Should lead with a number and optionally whether the questions are audio or visual.
• tossups - The number of tossups per packet for sorting purposes. Should be used when the format leads with "≈" or there is some other kind of obfuscating text.
• audiovisual - Whether the set was an audio set ("audio"), a visual set ("visual"), or neither (empty).
• {{{6}}}/packets (optional) - Link to the packets, with the number of packets.
• {{{7}}}/writers (optional) - The writers or organizers, as well as the means by which the set was organized (e.g. was it guerilla?)
• packetsub - Whether the set is a packet sub set. Any non-whitespace value will indicate that it is, while not using this will indicate that it isn't.
• {{{8}}} (optional) - Notes

This template makes extensive use of anonymous parameters. A known problem when using anonymous parameters is that outside links will not work properly - to use links, use a named parameter. This means that the simplest case (i.e. a row with only anonymous parameters) can only be used if there are no links to announcements.

Note: providing multiple categories, of which only a subset have valid colors, will result in no color in the cell and a malformed style in the HTML - this does not have any serious consequences but is worth noting. This can be resolved when switch statements work better, which they currently do not.

To view the column names for this table, see Template:Side events table start or the example below.

Examples of categories:

	Arts	History	Literature	Science	Trash
Arts	Arts	Arts, History	Arts, Literature	Arts, Science	Arts, Trash
History	History, Arts	History	History, Literature	History, Science	History, Trash
Literature	Literature, Arts	Literature, History	Literature	Literature, Science	Literature, Trash
Science	Science, Arts	Science, History	Science, Literature	Science	Science, Trash
Trash	Trash, Arts	Trash, History	Trash, Literature	Trash, Science	Trash

Similar patterns appear when provided more than two categories, but a table showing possible options cannot be easily rendered in 2D space and generally side events do not have many more than two.
