Hi Jennifer. 👋

Two ideas come to mind, but I don’t know the specifics of the template you are using, so you’ll probably want to experiment with them.

## Use a template in a PM

The relevant settings would be:

> [@Discourse Templates](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-templates/229250/1):
>
> - `discourse templates enable private templates`: Enables the use of private templates.
> - `discourse templates groups allowed private templates`: Groups of users allowed to use private templates.
> 
> > ⚠ Staff members are always allowed.
> 
> - `discourse templates private templates tags`: Tags that will be used to mark private messages as templates.

That single event template would appear on the calendar for you and anyone else on the PM, but would not show for anyone else.

## Use Reply Template component

I wonder if you could use [Reply Template](https://meta.discourse.org/t/reply-template/162373) to produce a reusable template. Here’s an example, with a live demo just after:

```plaintext
[wrap=template key="event-template" action="create" title="New Event"]
## Event Details

[event start="2023-07-07 10:00" end="2023-07-07 14:00" status="public"]
[/event]

## Description

...

[/wrap]

```

## Event Details

## Description

…

You could put that in a PM or staff only category and use it to create new topics quickly.
