Usage

This template ({{End date}}) returns a date, or date-time. It also include the same date (and time) duplicated in a hidden (by CSS) ISO date format, for use inside other templates which emit Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg microformats. It should not be used outside such templates. The hidden date degrades gracefully when CSS is not available.

Syntax

{{End date|<year>|<month>|<day>}}

Examples:

  • {{End date|<1993>|<2>|<24>}} -→ "February 24, 1993 (1993-02-24)"
  • {{End date|<1993>|<2>|<24>|<08>|<30>}} → "08:30, February 24, 1993 (1993-02-24T08:30)"

An optional parameter, df, can be set to "y" or "yes" (or indeed any value) to display the day before the month. This is primarily used in articles about events in parts of the world where the day precedes the month in a date.

Examples:

  • {{End date|<1993>|<2>|<24>}} → "24 February 1993 (1993-02-24)"
