Fyrimynd:End date and age
The{{Start date and age}}template displays the date that an event or entity started or was created. It also includes a duplicate, machine-readable date in theISO 8601format (which is hidden byCSS), for use inside other templates which emitmicroformats.The hidden date degrades gracefully when CSS is not available.

Parameters
[rætta wikitekst]Parameter | Status | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | required | A four-digit number indicating the year. |
2 | optional | A number between 1 and 12 indicating the month (leading zeros in the number are ignored). The month may also be specified as a name or abbreviation (e.g. "August" or "Aug" ). |
3 | optional | A number between 1 and 31 indicating the day of the month (leading zeros in the number are ignored). |
df= | optional | If the parameterdfequalsyes,y,or1,the date will be displayed in DMY format:4 March 2010.When this parameter is not included or set to some other value, the date will be displayed in MDY format:March 4, 2010. |
p= paren= |
optional | If the parameterporparenequalsyes,y,or1,the age will be displayed within parentheses. When this parameter is not included or set to some other value, the date and age are separated by a semicolon and a breaking space. |
br= | optional | If the parameterbrequalsyes,y,or1,a line break will be inserted between the date and the age. When this parameter is not included or set to some other value, a breaking space will be inserted between the date and the age. This does not change the separating characters between the date and age which are either a semicolon (default setting) or parentheses (ifp=yes). |
"df" (day first) and "mf" (month first)
[rætta wikitekst]The default output of this template is to display the month before the day (MDY). This default may not be appropriate for articles about events or entities in parts of the world where dates are commonly given with the day preceding the month (DMY). To display the day first, assign thedfparameter a value ofyes,y,or1(e.g.df=yes).
If the default format is preferred, the parameterdfmay be used with value ofno,n,or0(e.g.df=no). These values can assistbotsor other automated processing to detect the intended date format; omitting thedfparameter may lead an editor or bot to change the format to an unintended value.
The preference to display the month first may also be indicated via the parametermf(e.g.mf=yes). While not actually used by the template, this is another method of indicating that the default format is intended. Do not specify both "df" and "mf" parameters in the same use of the template.
