Template talk:Date

Documentation

The date is the only parameter of this template. Technically it can be entered in any format accepted by #time, i.e. php data format. For example:

• {{date|April 12, 2009}}}} gives Sunday, April 12, 2009 
• {{date|apr12,9}}}} gives Sunday, April 12, 2009 
• {{date|4/12/9}}}} gives Sunday, April 12, 2009 
• {{date|12 April 2009}}}} gives Sunday, April 12, 2009 
• {{date|12apr9}}}} gives Sunday, April 12, 2009 
• {{date|12-4-2009}}}} gives Sunday, April 12, 2009 
• {{date|9-4-12}}}} gives Sunday, April 12, 2009 
• {{date|20090412}}}} gives Sunday, April 12, 2009 

The blank lines "problem"

I've noticed that Dan100 has changed the template so that there is no more blank line between the date and the article content. While this was perceived to be a problem, I in fact found it to be very useful. Now the date appears squashed in at the top, with no separation to the article text, and doesn't look very good. For example, see the article TAROM cancels all Bucharest-Arad flights. What do other people think? Do others prefer to change it back to how it was with the added line break?

Look at the date of that edit in the History. I made that change two months ago! I don't know why the page rendering has suddenly changed now. I'll rv to before my edit and see what the effect is. Dan100 (Talk) 08:41, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It's causing greaaat problem... Remember to put the <noinclude> tag just after the last character of the template, like this:

{{#if:{{{nocat|}}}||[[Category:{{{1}}}]]}}
'''{{{1}}}'''<noinclude>

Done A HA! That's what was causing it. I nearly broke a blood vessel in IRC earlier :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DragonFire1024 (talk • contribs)
