Template:Pretty date: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:20, 30 October 2023

Formats a date similarly to how the format string D, M j Y for ParserFunctions' {{#time}} would, but with an ordinal for the DoM. Examples:

Sun, Nov 26^th 2006
Mon, Jul 21^st 1969
Tue, Jan 19^th 2038

The below documentation is automatically generated from JSON.
It can be changed by editing this page, but note that it's only the documentation (for the visual editor)—the actual template part must also be edited, manually.

Formats a date, e.g. "2006-11-26" becomes "Sun, Nov 26th 2006".
