Template:End date/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:End date.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

{{End date}} returns the date (or date and time) that an event or entity ended, in a standard format. It also includes a hidden (by CSS) duplicate, machine-readable date (or date and time) in the ISO date format, for use inside templates or table rows that emit microformats.

Usage

{{End date|YYYY}} (year only)
{{End date|YYYY|MM}} (month and year)
{{End date|YYYY|MM|DD}} (year, month, and day)
{{End date|YYYY|MM|DD|HH|MM|SS|Time zone}} (date, time, and time zone)

Parameters

The unnamed parameters, in order, represent the year (four digits), month (one or two digits), day (one or two digits), hour in 24-hour time (one or two digits), minutes (one or two digits), seconds (one or two digits), and the time zone (see below).
When specifying time of day, MM (minutes), SS (seconds), and the time zone are optional
Time zone may be a numerical value, or Z for UTC (see examples)
|df=yes, an optional parameter, can be set to display the day before the month (e.g. "7 November 2004" instead of the default "November 7, 2004"). The order of parameters does not change (it remains YMD). This is primarily used in articles using DMY format for dates.

Examples

{{End date|1993}} ? 1993 (1993)
{{End date|1993|02}} ? 1993 (1993-02)
{{End date|1993|02|24}} ? 24, 1993 (1993-02-24)
{{End date|1993|02|24|08|30}} ? 08:30, 24, 1993 (1993-02-24T08:30)
{{End date|1993|02|24|08|7=+01:00}} ? 24, 1993 (+01:00) (1993-02-24T08+01:00)
{{End date|1993|02|24|08|7=−07:00}} ? 24, 1993 (−07:00) (1993-02-24T08−07:00)
{{End date|1993|02|24|08|30|23}} ? 08:30:23, 24, 1993 (1993-02-24T08:30:23)
{{End date|1993|02|24|08|30|23|Z}} ? 08:30:23, 24, 1993 (UTC) (1993-02-24T08:30:23Z)
{{End date|1993|02|24|08|30|23|+01:00}} ? 08:30:23, 24, 1993 (+01:00) (1993-02-24T08:30:23+01:00)
{{End date|1993|02|24|08|30|23|−07:00}} ? 08:30:23, 24, 1993 (−07:00) (1993-02-24T08:30:23−07:00)
{{End date|1993|02|24|df=y}} ? 24 1993 (1993-02-24)
{{End date|1993|02|24|08|30|df=yes}} ? 08:30, 24 1993 (1993-02-24T08:30)

Use in microformats

The template returns the date as hCalendar's (class="dtend"). For example:

<span class="dtend">1993-02-24T08:30</span>

Disable CSS or view source to see the hidden ISO-formatted output.

Note: due to the requirement exclusive dtend in hCalendar, and the accessibility problems that presents when a date is rendered (as seen without CSS) as 28 March 1999 (1999-03-29) or even 28 February 1999 (1999-03-01) or 31 December 1999 (2000-01-01), the template should not be used for whole-day dates and should have a time of 24:00:00 or 23:59:59.

See the microformats project for further details.

Example, including hidden machine-readable text

{{End date|2016|12|31}} → 31, 2016

&nbsp;31,&nbsp;2016<span style="display:none">&#160;(<span class="dtend itvend">2016-12-31</span>)</span>
