Template:Template doc page viewed directly
Contents
Usage
The template {{As of}} is used to link a section of text to an appropriate "As of..." page without creating a visible link on the page itself. This allows editors to catalogue statements that may become dated over time. It also includes the ISO 8601 format needed by hAtom (class="updated"
) and hCalendar (class="dtstart"
) microformats through use of the {{Start date}} template. Unlike the {{Update after}} template, {{As of}} does not require the editor to give a full date. This template should not be subst'd.
Syntax
- {{As of|year|month|day}}
- {{As of|month_name year}} (deprecated)
Parameters
Required
- year (first parameter) – required; must be in full numerical format (yyyy)
- month_name year (first parameter, deprecated) – required; month_name must be capitalised full name, and year must be in full numerical format (e.g. "April 2006")
Optional
- month (second parameter) – optional; full, abbreviated or numerical (recommended) formats supported
- 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
Examples
- {{As of|2008}} returns "As of 2008 "
- {{As of|2008|7}} returns "As of July 2008 "
- {{As of|2008|7|5}} returns "As of 5 July 2008 "
- {{As of|2008|4|1|alt=as of the [[2000 United States Census]]}} returns "as of the 2000 United States Census"
- {{As of|2008|7|5|df=US}} returns "As of July 5, 2008 "
- {{As of|April 2006}} returns "As of April 2006 "
