![]() | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Dated. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
edit![]() | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Dated}} ). |
This template automatically dates tags with the current month and year upon placement.
Example:
{{subst:dated|Unreferenced}}
Instead of:
{{Unreferenced|date=September 2024}}
Limitation
editSubstitution 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.
