[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

Generates a localised date with appropriate attributes to make it sortable in a table.

{{Date table sorting|date=2020-09-24|format=j F Y|lang=fr}}

displays: 24 septembre 2020 and sorts well in a table.

Arguments

lang

Language code (usually, you should pass {{PAGELANGUAGE}}).

format

Deprecated (kept for backware compatibility)

phpformat

Date display format: any string supported by {{#time}} (you can read its documentation page). Defaults to "j xg Y" (e.g. “6 January 2020”).

precision

Instead of setting a phpformat, the module can guess it from date precision integer: 9 will display only year, 10 will display month and year, and 11 will display day, month and year. These values come from Wikidata date data model.

date

full date (takes precedence over other date arguments)

year

year (takes precedence over numbered date arguments)

month

month (works only if year is set)

day

day (works only if both year and month are set)

1

full date or year

2

month (works only if 1 is set)

3

day (works only if both 1 and 2 are set)
