{{Ordinal}} will add the appropriate ordinal indicator to a given integer.

Usage

{{Ordinal|integer}}

Use {{Ordinal|integer|sup=yes}} to display the ordinal suffix in superscript. Do not use superscript notation in the article space, per this section of the Manual of Style.

For an integer ending in 1, 2 or 3 (except for integers ending in 11, 12 or 13), the ordinal suffix will be -st, -nd and -rd, respectively. To display -d for the ordinal suffix rather than -nd and -rd, use {{Ordinal|integer|d}}.

This template should not be used in running prose in articles; it is intended for automated script processing of numeric data. Writing something like "in the {{ordinal|16}} century" serves no purpose, and just makes the wikicode harder to understand and edit.

Examples

Code	Result
`{{Ordinal\|101}}`	101st
`{{Ordinal\|−102}}`	−102nd
`{{Ordinal\|102\|sup=yes}}`	102^nd
`{{Ordinal\|103}}`	103rd
`{{Ordinal\|103\|d}}`	103d
