Module:Date period/doc

Usage

For templates, you might want to use {{Date period}} instead.

{{#invoke:Date period|_main|dateA|dateB}}

Automatically formats two given dates with a space and and en dash. Dates can be of any format supported by Module:Date.

If the month is the same, it is only shown once. If the month and day is the same, it will not show a second part at all. If the year is different, it will show the year unless disabled.

Date A	Date B	Output
2021-02-19	present
present	2021-02-25
2021-02-19	2021-02-25
2021-02-19	2021-03-25
2020-02-19	2021-02-25

The year can be forcefully shown with the force-year parameter (third parameter of p._main).

Date A	Date B	force-year	Output
2021-02-19	2021-02-25	no
2021-02-19	2021-02-25	yes
2020-02-19	2021-02-25	no
2020-02-19	2021-02-25	yes

If one of the dates is invalid, the raw text will be displayed instead.

Date A	Date B	Output
2021-02-19	Sometime far in the future.
Long ago	2021-02-25
