Usage
- {{date|<some date>}} causes <some date> to be dynamically reformatted according to reformatting rules.*
- When no <date> parameter is specified, it displays the current date, which changes to tomorrow's date when you view it tomorrow, and so on. Again, the date is subject to reformatting rules.*
This template cannot be substituted. To fix today's date use {{subst:today}}, which will emit {{date|2024-08-17}} and so wrap the date for further processing by {{date}}.
* Reformatting would ideally occur according to a user's date-style preferences, or using some sane and human-friendly default when a user is not-logged-in or when no date-style preference has been set. However, this functionality (not to be confused with wikilinking of dates) is disabled pending resolution of bug #4582. In the meanwhile, {{date}} will display dates in 'day month year' format (e.g. 17 August 2024) for dates between 1970 and 2038. Dates between 1901 and 1969 will be displayed incorrectly (see bugzilla:11686). Dates outside these ranges should appear unadjusted.
Examples
- With no <date> parameter:
- {{date}} appears as 17 August 2024
- <date>s with a year:
- <date>s without a year:
