===Some particular types of events===
====Campaigns====
{{Q|Q22217}} is a common type of activity organized by Wikimedians. For example {{Q|Q22430}} or {{Q|Q22600}}. A campaign takes place within a particular, often longer, time frame, and can include parts such as {{Q|Q41}}, {{Q|Q61}} or {{Q|Q22295}}. Those parts are linked using {{P|P35}}, and in reverse, {{P|Q22508}}
Sometimes a campaign will have several such parts, such as {{Q|Q22508}}, where several edit-a-thons are included under {{P|P35}}; sometimes only one.
For example {{Q|Q22623}}, which has one part under it, {{Q|Q22384}}.
But it is possible to imagine a national Wiki Loves Monuments campaign that also encompasses edit-a-thons, seminars, etc.
For this reason it is preferable to always model campaigns and their constituent parts this way, even when there's only one constituent part. This makes it easier to query the data and remember one data model to use.


It is valuable to indicate whether an event took place physically or was online (or hybrid). That's why the item should have two {{P|P5}}, one for the type of the event ({{Q|Q42}}, {{Q|Q41}}...) and one for how it was conducted (see list of possibilities in table below).
