Usage
These templates ({{Start date}} and {{End date}}) return a date, duplicated in a hidden ISO date format, which degrades gracefully when CSS is not available.
Syntax:
- {{Start date|year|month|day}}
or
- {{End date|year|month|day}}
Examples:
- {{Start date|1993}} returns "1993"
- {{Start date|1993|2}} returns "February 1993"
- {{Start date|1993|2|24}} returns "February 24, 1993"
- {{Start date|1993|2|24|08|30}} returns "08:30, February 24, 1993"
- {{End date|1993|2|24}} returns "Template:End date"
- {{End date|1993|2|24|08|30}} returns "Template:End date"
An optional parameter, df, can be set to "yes" to display the day before the month. This is primarily used in articles about events in parts of the world where the day precedes the month in a date.
Examples:
- {{Start date|1993|2|24|df=yes}} returns "24 February 1993"
- {{Start date|1993|2|24|08|30|df=yes}} returns "08:30, 24 February 1993"
- {{End date|1993|2|24|df=yes}} returns "Template:End date"
(users who have already set date preferences will need to be logged out to see the difference).
The templates also return the date, hidden by CSS, in the ISO 8601 format needed by hAtom (class="updated") and hCalendar (class="dtstart") microformats. For example:
- (<span class="dtstart updated">1993-02-24</span>) and (<span class="dtstart updated">1993-02-24T08:30</span>)
(disable CSS or view source to see the ISO-formatted output).
See the microformats project for details.
Note: The template will appear broken when the parameters are left blank (as seen above).
