== Syntax ==
This template takes up to two parameters, both of which are optional:

<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>date|</code><span style="color:gray;">''<date to be formatted>''</span>|<span style="color:gray;">''<date formatting style>''</span><code><nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

* '''''<date to be formatted>''''' is an (optional) date to be formatted.
*: If no date is specified, the template emits the current date.<br />For example, {{nowrap|<tt><nowiki>{{date}}</nowiki></tt>}} produces {{date}}.
*:If a date is provided, but is not recognized as one, the text is just returned ''as is''. Most dates will however be recognized as such, including all the formats typically used on Wikipedia. Numerous variations thereof are also supported, including abbreviated or lower case month names; genitive 'st', 'nd', 'rd', 'th'; extraneous white space; missing comma etc.
*:'''Notes''':
*:* Some dates are converted even if they are not real dates, and some dates are not converted even though they are real dates. See [[#Known issues|known issues]] below.
*:* Only dates within the range {{date|January 1, 1000}} and {{date|December 31, 9999}} are supported. Dates with two digit dates will have unexpected results. Other dates outside the range 1000–9999 will be treated as if the second parameter were "none".

* '''''<date formatting style>''''' controls the date format in which the result is to be emitted.
*: If no style is specified, the template emits a date in 'd month yyyy' format, as it appears (for example) on discussion pages.
*:Recognized values for the second parameter are:
*:* '''<tt style="padding-right:2.5em;">none</tt>''' applies no formatting whatsoever
*:* '''<tt style="padding-right:3em;">dmy</tt>''' gives ''d mmmm yyyy'' (eg ''{{date||dmy}}''). This is the default format.
*:* '''<tt style="padding-right:3em;">mdy</tt>''' gives ''mmmm d, yyyy'' (eg ''{{date||mdy}}'')
*:* '''<tt style="padding-right:3em;">ymd</tt>''' gives ''yyyy mmmm dd'' (eg ''{{date||ymd}}'')
*:* '''<tt style="padding-right:3em;">iso</tt>''' gives an [[ISO 8601]] ''yyyy-mm-dd'' (eg ''{{date||iso}}'')
*:Prefixing these parameters with "<tt>l</tt>" (<tt>l</tt> for '''<tt>l</tt>'''ink) produces a linked date:
*:* '''<tt style="padding-right:2em;">ldmy</tt>''' gives ''<nowiki>[[d mmmm]] [[yyyy]]</nowiki>'' (eg ''{{date||ldmy}}'')
*:* '''<tt style="padding-right:2em;">lmdy</tt>''' gives ''<nowiki>[[mmmm d]], [[yyyy]]</nowiki>'' (eg ''{{date||lmdy}}'')
*:* '''<tt style="padding-right:2em;">lymd</tt>''' gives ''<nowiki>[[yyyy]] [[mmmm dd]]</nowiki>'' (eg ''{{date||lymd}}'')
*:* '''<tt style="padding-right:2em;">liso</tt>''' gives ''<nowiki>[[yyyy]]-[[mm-dd]]</nowiki>'' (eg ''{{date||liso}}'')
*:'''Notes''':
*:* Although these are the four formats supported by MediaWiki's date autoformatting mechanism, only <code>dmy</code>/<code>ldmy</code> and <code>mdy</code>/<code>lmdy</code> are in accordance with the English language Wikipedia's [[MOS:DATE#Full_date_formatting|Manual of Style]]. The use of <code>iso</code>/<code>liso</code> ([[ISO 8601]]) format ''within article prose'' is expressly discouraged by the Manual of Style; this format should only be used in tables or lists.
*:* In each case, the result is exactly the same as what would be emitted by MediaWiki's date autoformatting mechanism.<div>However, dates are '''''not''''' manipulated by MediaWiki's date autoformatting mechanism even when linked. This permits dates to have a consistent appearance regardless of whether they are linked or not.</div>
