Documentation
(this part of the documentation is only available in some languages)
Takes a calendar dates in ISO 8601 extended format (YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. "2024-12-22") and hands it over to {{date}} to display it in localised format. Calendar dates This template is needed to catch some flaws of the automatic conversion by {{#time: }} for non-full dates (e.g. "77-09" for September 77 AD, which would throw an error with {{#time: }})
Usage

Dates BC are not yet supported. Note: A date like "99-05-01" or "07-05-01" will always refer to the day in the first century, not the day in the 20th or 21st century. Please always note down the full year. |
