== Considerations ==
* Because the MediaWiki software uses extensive caching, your scheduled content '''will not update immediately''' upon reaching the scheduled time. If you're impatient, use [[Special:Purge]] on the target page to flush the server's cache and force the page to update.
* During the middle of the year, it's generally fine to omit the year from dates, because MediaWiki will assume the current year. However, for the very same reason, ''when it's near the end of the year, don't omit the year from dates''. If you have events both in this year and the next, this will cause scheduling issues after the year rolls over.
