Auto mode[edit]

This template has an option to automatically display certain holidays. To turn automated mode on, change the auto parameter's value to yes. When auto mode is on, the messages for most of the holidays will display on the correct days automatically as long as the first parameter is blank. If there is already a holiday filled in for the first parameter, it will always override auto mode.

Adding new messages[edit]

To add a new message to this template, edit Template:Holydaze/inner and add the new message under the correct holiday name, making sure to preserve the formatting. If you're not sure about a message or not sure how to add it properly, discuss it at Template talk:Holydaze.

The messages[edit]

For reference, the list of messages is shown below. Note that changing this does not change the template output; the actual messages used are found at Template:Holydaze/inner.
