A kind suggestion: 

Can you break down the proper dates for Wikimania on the front page of the Wikimania wiki?

https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

Right now it looks like an eight day conference as it specifies June 21-28, but that’s inaccurate.

You should probably break it down like this:

Pre-conference - June 22-23, 2016

Main conference - June 24-26, 2016

There is a “Post conference” of June 27-28 with no specifics, so either specify what goes on for those dates, or just eliminate it completely from the front page. Thanks.
