 | This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
 | This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing. |
This module is intended for processing of date strings. It is used by:
Complex date
This function is the engine behind {{Complex date}}. Please see that template for full documentation
Usage:
- should not be used directly but only through {{Other date}} and other templates
{{#invoke:Complex_date|complex_date|adj1=|date1=|era1=|precision1=|conj=-|adj2=|date2=|era2=|precision2=|lang=}}
or
{{#invoke:Complex_date|complex_date|1=|2=|3=|era=|lang=}}
Parameters (simple syntax):
- 1
- option. See {{Other date}}
- 2
- date #1
- 3
- date #2
Parameters (advanced syntax):
- conj
- in case the link between the two dates: "-" (from-until), between, or, and (see {{Complex date}})
- adj1, adj2
- adjectives and prepositions used to describe single date. Possible values: early, mid, late, spring, summer, fall, winter, 1st half, 2nd half, 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, 4th quarter, etc. used for describing which part of date1 and date2 are involved (see {{Complex date}})
- date1, date2
- the dates involved. Format: Number or whatever {{ISOdate}} takes.
- precision1, precision2
- usually year or more precise (default), but can also be decade, century or millennium, then the dates involved are centuries or millennia rather than specific dates
- era1, era2
- the eras that those dates are from (see {{Complex date}}). If parameter
erais present, it overrides these two parameters.
The internationalization of the date formats can be found at Module:I18n/complex date
Dependencies
Module:Complex_date relies on the following modules:
- Module:Calendar (lazy loading with no dependencies)
