Use as follows:
 
 
 
<nowiki><code>{{NavMM|lastdate|nextdate}}</code></nowiki>
 
 
 
This can be used in two ways.
 
* Fill in the next date when posting current minutes if you know the date, then there does not need to be a visit to the last minutes. This has a caveat, see below.
 
* Only fill in the last date when posting the current minutes, so just <nowiki><code>{{NavMM|lastdate}}</code></nowiki>. Then when the next meeting happens, start at the earlier meeting, fill in the date, and follow the new link to create the next minutes.
 
 
 
Dead links do worse in online search results, this is the weakness of filling in the next date early. Either a skeleton page can be posted that basically says 'coming soon' to avoid this, but that's still not great, or the wiki can look into disabling red links for logged out visitors. This may help with search performance and keep this system easier, but it would require deeper IT action. We can 'not care' to keep it simple but this will have a known search performance hit.
 
 
 
If a red link is given (regardless if it is visible to logged out users), it might make it easier for an inexperienced editor to fill in new minutes?
