Date conversions

 * Deploying 'Start date' template in infoboxes
 * RFC

A bot is needed, to convert existing "date", "first broadcast", "foundation", "founded", "opened", "released" or similar dates in infoboxes to use Start date, so that they are emitted as part of the included hAudio, hCard or hCalendar microformats.

Dates before the year 1583 AD (or after 9999) should not be converted. Only Gregorian Calendar dates should be converted. Previous discussion has included suggestions that templates with dates always after 1923 (e.g. templates for records, CDs, television, space travel, etc.) should be processed first due to some editors' concerns about changeover dates from Julian to Gregorian calendars in a few territories. Later passes should account for regional differences (e.g. nothing in Greece pre 1920 without manual checking or further discussion).

It should be possible to sub-divide this into smaller tasks, to simplify the conversion logic and allow more than one bot operator to be involved.

Watch out for redirects, too.

Smackbot was approved to do this, but failed to complete the task.

This applies to pages using these templates:

Boilerplate
== Conversion to date templates ==

A great many infoboxes already emit microformats, and have for months, or even years. However, in some articles, these are incomplete, because the dates which form part of them do not use an appropriate sub-template, in order to emit the date in the correct metadata format. A bot (or bots - this task could be subdivided) is required, to complete the task of converting opening-, release-, first shown-, incident- and such dates from plain text to use Start date, as seen in, and as described in the various infoboxes' documentation. Note that start date allows for YYYY, YYYY-MM, YYYY-MM-DD and in a few cases YYY-M-DD:HH:MM formats. Note that Smackbot was approved to do this, and started, but failed to complete the task. A list of affected templates is available.

Microformat categories
If a template (or its documentation) is using one of the following {{UF-* templates, add a category to the template:


 * {{Tl|UF-hcard-person}} - {{if {{{coordinates}}}| |  }}
 * {{Tl|UF-hcard-geo}} - {{if {{{coordinates}}}| |  }}
 * {{Tl|UF-hcard-org}} - {{if {{{coordinates}}}| |  }}
 * {{Tl|UF-geo}} -
 * {{Tl|UF-geo-other}} -
 * {{Tl|UF-hcal}} -
 * {{Tl|UF-hcal-auto}} -
 * {{Tl|UF-hcal-geo}} - {{if {{{coordinates}}}| |  }}
 * {{Tl|UF-hcal-multi}} -

To add:
 * {{tl|UF-adr}}
 * {{tl|UF-hcard-name}}
 * {{tl|UF-hcard-part}}
 * {{tl|UF-hcard-place}}
 * {{tl|UF-hcard+hcal}}
 * {{tl|UF-coord}}
 * {{tl|UF-coord-classes}}
 * {{tl|UF-hprod}}
 * {{tl|UF-species}}

(replacing {{{coordinates}}} with {{{latitude}}} or some other suitable parameter)
