Zfor UTC (see examples) |df=yes, an optional parameter, can be set to display the day before the month (e.g. "7 November 2004" instead of the default "November 7, 2004"). The order of parameters does not change (it remains YMD). This is primarily used in articles using DMY format for dates.

Use in microformats
The template returns the date as hCalendar's (class="dtend"). For example:
<span class="dtend">1993-02-24T08:30</span>
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 28 March 1999 (1999-03-29) or even 28 February 1999 (1999-03-01) or 31 December 1999 (2000-01-01), the template should not be used for whole-day dates and should have a time of 24:00:00 or 23:59:59.
See the microformats project for further details.
Example, including hidden machine-readable text
{{End date|2016|12|31}}→ December 31, 2016December 31, 2016<span style="display: none;"> (<span class="dtend itvend">2016-12-31</span>)</span>
