festival series infobox: month not date, editions listed by query

New page

<noinclude>
== Festival ==
Infobox for a festival as a '''series''' — the thing that has a name, a home, and
a habit. Hillberry. Grey Fox. Wickenburg.

A festival series is a standing invitation, like a jam, and it records a month
rather than a date for the same reason [[Template:Recurring event]] records a
weekday: the series outlives any one year of it. The dates live on the edition
pages, one per year, built with [[Template:Festival edition]].

=== Usage ===
<pre>
{{Festival
|venue=The Farm
|city=Eureka Springs
|state=Arkansas
|month=October
|genre=Bluegrass
|genre2=Americana
|established=2012
|website=https://example.com
|image=Example.jpg
}}
</pre>

=== Naming ===
The series page takes the festival's name as people say it — '''Hillberry''',
not "Hillberry Harvest Moon Festival 2026". Each edition is
'''<Name> <Year>''': [[Grey Fox 2026]]. That is the pattern the wiki already
grew on its own, and it is predictable enough for a bot to generate.

Where a festival is widely known by a longer formal name, make that a redirect.

=== Parameters ===
* '''name''' - Defaults to the page title.
* '''venue''' - Where it is held. Page-valued; a venue with no page becomes a redlink.
* '''location''' - Free text, for grounds with no venue page — a farm, a fairground, a field.
* '''city''', '''state''', '''scene''' - Fill these in even if the venue page carries them too.
* '''month''' - The month it usually falls in. An expectation, not a promise.
* '''genre''' through '''genre3''' - What gets played.
* '''host''' through '''host3''' - Who puts it on.
* '''established''' - Year of the first one, four digits.
* '''image''', '''caption''' - Commons files work; this wiki reads Commons directly.
* '''website''', '''calendar''' - Official page, and wherever the schedule actually appears.
* '''description''' - A sentence rendered under the infobox.

=== Notes ===
The infobox lists this festival's editions automatically by querying
[[Property:Has festival|Has festival]], so a new edition page appears here
without anyone editing this one.
