Usage

This purpose of the {{Start date}} template is to return a date (or date-time). It also includes duplicate date (or date-time) in the ISO date format (which is hidden by CSS), 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)
Examples
  • {{Start date|1993}} returns "1993 (1993)"
  • {{Start date|1993|02}} returns "February 1993 (1993-02)"
  • {{Start date|1993|02|24}} returns "February 24, 1993 (1993-02-24)"
  • {{Start date|1993|02|24|08|30}} returns "08:30, February 24, 1993 (1993-02-24T08:30)"
  • {{Start date|1993|02|24|08|||+01:00}} returns "February 24, 1993 (+01:00) (1993-02-24T08+01:00)"
  • {{Start date|1993|02|24|08|||-07:00}} returns "February 24, 1993 (-07:00) (1993-02-24T08-07:00)"
    {{Start date|1993|02|24|08|30|23}} returns "08:30:23, February 24, 1993 (1993-02-24T08:30:23)"
  • {{Start date|1993|02|24|08|30|23|Z}} returns "08:30:23, February 24, 1993 (UTC) (1993-02-24T08:30:23Z)"
  • {{Start date|1993|02|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|02|24|08|30|23|-07:00}} returns "08:30:23, February 24, 1993 (-07:00) (1993-02-24T08:30:23-07:00)"

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|02|24|df=y}} returns "24 February 1993 (1993-02-24)"
  • {{Start date|1993|02|24|08|30|df=yes}} returns "08:30, 24 February 1993 (1993-02-24T08:30)"

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