Sjabloon:Adt

accessdate=2024-12-18

Template documentation

Adt creates the 'accessdate' field and value in YYYY-MM-DD format for most Citation templates.

Access dates may be implemented in three formats and should be consistent throughout the article:

• YYYY-MM-DD: 2024-12-18
• MYD: december 18, 2024
• DMY: 18 december 2024

Usage

This template MUST be subst'd.

When subst'd, the template provides the YYYY-MM-DD date field and word string

"accessdate=CURRENTYEAR-CURRENTMONTH-CURRENTDAY" (all numeric with proper leading zero's)

Alternatively, it can be used to record an older date:

"accessdate={{{3}}}-{{{2}}}-{{{1}}}", of which any one, two, or all three may be specified, and again will add proper leading zero's and format the output.

Examples

1. |{{subst:adt|three days ago}} — generates the string with the date of three days ago.{{#invoke:Indent|indent|1=|2=}}Given: |{{subst:adt|5}} it will generate:

   |accessdate=2024-12-05

2. |{{subst:adt|three days ago|lastmonth}} — generates the string with the date of three days ago, which was in the different last month.{{#invoke:Indent|indent|1=|2=}}Given: |{{subst:adt|3|10}} it will generate:

   |accessdate=2024-10-03

3. "Last year"—has been left as an exercise for the pupil!
