{{COinS safe|n|addtext=<br />The CS1 and CS2 templates support ''c.'' as an abbreviation in the date fields.}}

==Usage==
This template generates an abbreviation for ''circa'': {{Circa}} By default the abbreviation is marked with <code><abbr></code>.

===Examples===
{| class="wikitable"
|-

|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Circa|1325|lk=yes}}</nowiki></code>
| {{Circa|1325|lk=yes}}
| With link only
|-

| {{Circa|1325|lk=no}}

|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Circa|1000|1050}}</nowiki></code>

|}

===Parameters===
Using the date itself as parameter (for example, "<code><nowiki>{{Circa|1956}}</nowiki></code>", giving "{{Circa|1956}}"), web browsers do not insert a line break anywhere in the string. By contrast, "<code><nowiki>{{Circa}} 1956</nowiki></code>" allows a line break between the "{{Circa}}" and the number. Also, with the date as a parameter a thinner space is used with many browsers:

* "{{Circa|1956}}" is generated by "<code><nowiki>{{Circa|1956}}</nowiki></code>".
* "{{Circa}} 1956" is generated by "<code><nowiki>{{Circa}} 1956</nowiki></code>".

If the parameter {{para|i}} is set to a non-empty value, the "c." is put in italics: for example, "<code><nowiki>{{Circa|i=''}}</nowiki></code>" generates "{{Circa|i=''}}" instead of "{{Circa}}".

If the parameter {{para|lk}} (for "link") is set as "{{para|lk|no}}" or "{{para|lk|off}}", the abbreviation is rendered as "{{Circa|lk=no}}", without a wikilink or abbreviation element. If it is set to "{{para|lk|abbr}}", it is rendered with the abbreviation element but without the wikilink. If it is set to "{{para|lk|yes}}" or "{{para|lk|on}}", it is rendered as "{{Circa|lk=yes}}", with a wikilink to the ''[[Circa]]'' article and ''not'' an abbreviation element. Otherwise, the abbreviation is marked with the "<code><abbr></code>" element, as in "{{Circa}}", ''and'' linked to the [[Circa]] article. The <code>lk</code> parameter can be used to avoid overuse of "<code><abbr></code>" or [[WP:Overlinking|overlinking]] when this template is used repeatedly in the body of an article. For example:

* <code><nowiki>[[Dionysius Exiguus]] was born {{Circa|470}}, lived in Rome from {{Circa|lk=no|500}}, and died {{Circa|lk=no|544}}.</nowiki></code>
*:→ [[Dionysius Exiguus]] was born {{Circa|470}}, lived in Rome from {{Circa|lk=no|500}}, and died {{Circa|lk=no|544}}.

If the parameter "<code>cap=yes</code>" is specified, the result starts with a capital letter.
