   • Event template
2. Download the extensions "parserfunctions" and "inputbox" from mediawiki website.
3. Now, create the base page where the current month calendar will be created (like "Current events"), and insert below code in it:

{{:Test calendar {{#time: F Y}}}}

|<inputbox>
  type=create
  buttonlabel=create new Event
  width=25
  default=2007/04/05 my event name
  preload=Event template
  break=no
</inputbox>
|}

{{CalendarSingle|year=2007|month=02|show_year=yes|basepage=Test calendar}}
