==Syntax==
The template can be used in the following forms:
:<tt>{{As of{{!}}year{{!}}month{{!}}day}}</tt>
:<tt>{{As of{{!}}month_name year{{!}}month}}</tt>:<tt>{{As of{{!}}year}}</tt> Several additional named parameters can also be used (''deprecated''see below).
===Parameters===
'''Required'''
*'''year''' (first parameter) – required; must be in full numerical format (''yyyy'')
'''Optional'''
*'''day''' (third parameter) – optional; numerical format only, not included in link
'''Named optional'''
*'''alt''' (named parameter) – optional; allows substitution of visible text output (defaults to "As of [date]") for different wording or use of lower case
*'''df''' (named parameter) – optional; allows use of American date format with value US, only visible to users who have not set their date preferences yet
:<tt>{{As of{{!}}2008{{!}}4{{!}}1{{!}}alt=as of the <nowiki>[[2000 United States Census]]</nowiki>}}</tt> returns "''as of the [[2000 United States Census]]''"
