Template:End date and age/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:End date and age. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is used on approximately 9,900 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | This template uses Lua: |
{{End date and age}} displays the date that an event or entity ended. It also includes a duplicate, machine-readable date in the ISO 8601 format (which is hidden by CSS), for use inside other templates which emit microformats. The hidden date degrades gracefully when CSS is not available.
Usage
[edit source]{{End date and age|YYYY|MM|DD}}(year, month, and day){{End date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|df=yes}}{{End date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|df=yes|p=yes|br=yes}}
Parameters
[edit source]| 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). |
|3=
|
optional | A number between 1 and 31 indicating the day of the month (leading zeros in the number are ignored). |
|df=
|
optional | When set to |df=yes or |df=y displays the day before the month (e.g. "7 November 2004" instead of the default "November 7, 2004").
|
|p=|paren=
|
optional | When set to |p=yes or |p=y the age will be displayed within parentheses. When this parameter is not included, the date and age are separated by a semicolon and a breaking space.
|
|br=
|
optional | When set to |br=yes or |br=y a line break will be inserted between the date and the age. When this parameter is not included, a breaking space will be inserted between the date and the age.
