Date
This function is the core part of the ISOdate template.
Usage:
{{#invoke:Date|Date|year=|month=|day=|hour=|minute=|second=|tzhour=|tzmin=|lang=en}}
Parameters:
year,month,day,hour,minute,second: broken down date-time component strings
tzhour, tzmin: timezone offset from UTC, hours and minutes
lang: The language to display it in
case: Language format (genitive, etc.) for some languages
class: CSS class for the <time> node, use "" for no metadata at all
Error Handling:
