Template:Dated/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Usage[edit]

This template automatically dates tags with the current month and year upon placement.

Example:

{{subst:dated|Unreferenced}}

Instead of:

{{Unreferenced|date=May 2024}}

Limitation[edit]

Substitution does not work inside <ref>...</ref> tags.

Cleanup templates which are applied inside <ref>...</ref> tags (e.g. {{Dead link}} or {{Bare URL inline}} cannot be applied using {{subst:dated|Foo}}. In such cases the options are to:

  • add the date manually
  • Leave the cleanup template undated. A bot will be along shortly to add the date.
