{{tl|Start date}} also returns the date, hidden by CSS, in the [[ISO 8601]] format needed by [[hAtom]] (<code>class="updated"</code>), [[HCalendar|hCalendar]] (<code>class="dtstart"</code>) and [[HCard|hCard]] (<code>class="bday"</code>) [[microformat]]s - usually, but not always, within infobox or similar templates, or tables.
{{UF-hcal-part}}
 
Its use in hCard is for organisations, venues and similar; use {{tl|Birth date}} or {{tl|Birth date and age}} for people.
 
Similarly, {{tl|End date}} returns the date as [[HCalendar|hCalendar]]'s (<code>class="dtend"</code>). For example:
 
:<nowiki>(<span class="dtstart updated">1993-02-24</span>) and (<span class="dtstart updated">1993-02-24T08:30</span>)</nowiki>
 
and:
 
:<nowiki> (<span class="dtend">1993-02-24T08:30</span>)</nowiki>
 
(disable CSS or view source to see the hidden ISO-formatted output).
 
'''Note: due to the requirement exclusive "dtend" in [[hCalendar]], and the accessibility problems that presents when a date is rendered (as seen without CSS) as <tt>28 March 1999 (1999-03-29)</tt> or even <tt>28 February 1999 (1999-03-01)</tt> or <tt>31 December 1999 (2000-01-01)</tt>, the ''Date end'' template should '''not''' be used for whole-day dates and should have a time of 23:59:59.'''

Usage

These templates ({{Start date}} and {{End date}}) return a date, or date-time. They also include the same date (and time) duplicated in a hidden (by CSS) ISO date format, for use in microformats. This hidden date degrades gracefully when CSS is not available.

Syntax

{{Start date|year|month|day}}
{{Start date|year|month|day|HH|MM|SS|TimeZone}} (MM and SS are optional; TimeZone may be a numerical value, or "Z" for UTC; see examples)

or

{{End date|year|month|day}}

Examples:

{{Start date|1993}} returns "1993 (1993)"
{{Start date|1993|2}} returns "February 1993 (1993-02)"
{{Start date|1993|2|24}} returns "February 24, 1993 (1993-02-24)"
{{Start date|1993|2|24|08|30}} returns "08:30, February 24, 1993 (1993-02-24T08:30)"
{{Start date|1993|2|24|08|||+01:00}} returns "February 24, 1993 (+01:00) (1993-02-24T08+01:00)"
{{Start date|1993|2|24|08|||-07:00}} returns "February 24, 1993 (-07:00) (1993-02-24T08-07:00)"
{{Start date|1993|2|24|08|30|23}} returns "08:30:23, February 24, 1993 (1993-02-24T08:30:23)"
{{Start date|1993|2|24|08|30|23|Z}} returns "08:30:23, February 24, 1993 (UTC) (1993-02-24T08:30:23Z)"
{{Start date|1993|2|24|08|30|23|+01:00}} returns "08:30:23, February 24, 1993 (+01:00) (1993-02-24T08:30:23+01:00)"
{{Start date|1993|2|24|08|30|23|-07:00}} returns "08:30:23, February 24, 1993 (-07:00) (1993-02-24T08:30:23-07:00)"
{{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 "y" or "yes" (or indeed any value) 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=y}} returns "24 February 1993 (1993-02-24)"
{{Start date|1993|2|24|08|30|df=yes}} returns "08:30, 24 February 1993 (1993-02-24T08:30)"
{{End date|1993|2|24|df=yes}} returns "Template:End date"

Note: The template will appear broken when the parameters are left blank (as seen above).
