Possible to show recurrences as links + use template in event

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi. I have two questions for you. 

1. I'm wondering if you can link recurrences to wiki articles?
It's possible to create a new calendar event and use #REDIRECT[[page]] to
forward the new event to a new non-calendar page. But is it possible to do
this with a recurrence event? If so, how?

2. I wish to use a template in the event title. The event is a recurrence
as well. Take a look at this line in my calendar's recurrence-page:

RRULE:FREQ=YEARLY;INTERVAL=1;BYMONTH=10;DAY=5;SUMMARY=Samantha
{{age|1981|1|15}} years old

What I'm trying to do here, is a show the event like this: "Samantha 28
years old". The age-template calculates a person's age from his or her date
of birth. 

When I type this (including the age-template) into the calendar as a
recurrence event, it shows the complete code. Like this: 

Samantha {{age|1981|1|15}} years old


How can I show the event like this instead: 

Samantha 28 years old

And how can I link this event (when the event is a recurrence) to a wiki
article as well?

I don't send any ical data through any wiki parsing. Right now I'm not actively 
adding new code right now, but I'll review this once I do.

This is the code used to convert wiki commands to HTML.. might work for links, 
but I 
dont think it coverts templates.

global $wgParser;
$this->slideBody = $wgParser->recursiveTagParse($slideBody); //wiki markup 
converted 
to html

Thanks
Eric

I would also find the recurrence redirects extremely helpful. The other thing 
recurrence events needs is the 
ability to make events reoccur in days,months and weeks as well as years. 
At my college, where I run the wiki we have one person on duty for 
administrative purposes. A few of them 
take turns being "on duty" every 8 days. I would like to have an event that 
reoccurs every 8 days with 
whoever is on duty's name being the event and when you click it, it redirects 
to their user page. There is no 
way of doing this right now correct? (other than messing with code I don't 
understand)

Thanks,

Lloyd
