Documentation for Main Page event

Important: files should NOT include Main Page event when linking. The prefix is automatically added.

Parameters

event

Required. Case-sensitive. Event inputs: Summer, Scream Fortress, Smissmas.

Inputting any of these will switch the theme based on the event. Leave blank to disable the banner.

event-duration

Optional. Adds the event duration.

Use start and end to specify the time gap.

suffix

Optional. Adds a custom suffix instead of the current year. This is currently used for exceptions like Scream Fortress with its roman numerals.

image

Required. Sets the image file path. The File: prefix should not be added.

image-title

Optional. Adds a custom alt text for the image.

overlay

Optional. Adds a dark overlay to the banner.

link-override

Optional. Overrides the page link.

festive

Optional. Adds festive lights on top of the banner at the top. Should only be used for Smissmas.

(Experimental)

video

Optional. Dynamically embeds a video and replaces the image. Must have an image as fallback.

Best practice: Upload a screenshot of the first frame and use that as the fallback image, which creates a smoother transition.

Files are to be uploaded under the naming convention: Main Page event <event> <desc>, e.g. Main Page event Scream Fortress castle loop.

The description doesn't have to be too specific, but keep it consistent.

video-url

Required if video is set. For internal video files, simply enter the file name like you normally would. The File: prefix should not be added.

video-external

Optional. Use this to serve externally linked video files by including the full URL in the video-url parameter once set.
