Module:Complex date
Appearance
This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing. |
Usage
[fetola mohloli]This module is intended for processing of date strings. It is used by Module:WikidataIB
Complex date
[fetola mohloli]This function is the engine behind c:template:Complex date. Please see that template for full documentation
Usage:
[fetola mohloli]- should not be used directly but only through c:Template:Other date and other templates
{{#invoke:Complex_date|complex_date|adj1=|date1=|era1=|precision1=|conj=-|adj2=|date2=|era2=|precision2=|lang=}}
or
{{#invoke:Complex_date|complex_date|1=|2=|3=|era=|lang=}}
Parameters (simple syntax):
[fetola mohloli]- 1
- option. See c:Template:Other date
- 2
- date #1
- 3
- date #2
Parameters (advanced syntax):
[fetola mohloli]- conj
- in case the link between the two dates: "-" (from-until), between, or, and (see c:template:Complex date)
- adj1, adj2
- adjectives and prepositions used to describe single date. Possible values: early, mid, late, spring, summer, fall, winter, 1st half, 2nd half, 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, 3rd quarter, 4th quarter, etc. used for describing which part of date1 and date2 are involved (see c:template:Complex date)
- date1, date2
- the dates involved. Format: Number or whatever Template:Tl takes.
- precision1, precision1
- usually year or more precise (default), but can also be decade, century or millennium, then the dates involved are centuries or millennia rather than specific dates
- era1, era2
- the eras that those dates are from (see c:template:Complex date) If parameter
era
is present, it overrides these two parameters.
The internationalization of the date formats can be found at Module:I18n/complex date
Dependencies
[fetola mohloli]Module:Complex_date relies on the following modules:
- Module:Calendar (lazy loading with no dependencies)
- Module:ISOdate
- Module:DateI18n (no dependencies)
- Module:No globals (from en.wikipedia)
- Module:DateI18n (no dependencies)
- Module:i18n/complex date

- Module:Roman-cd (lazy loading with no dependencies)
- Module:Linguistic (lazy loading with no dependencies)
- Module:No globals (from en.wikipedia)
- Module:Ordinal-cd (lazy loading)
Several of the lazy-loaded dependencies do not exist locally since none of the code that calls them ever ends up used on the English Wikipedia.
