 | This is a documentation subpage for Module:Format time. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original module page. |
 | This module depends on the following other modules: |
This module is a fancy way to call {{#time}} in Lua. Unlike #time, it handles YMD dates (e.g. 2020 January 1) correctly via Module:YMD to ISO.
Syntax
editFrom a template:
{{#invoke:Format date|main|<timestamp>|fmt=<Formatting string>}}
From a module:
require('Module:Format time')._main{<timestamp>, fmt = <Formatting string>}
In both cases, <timestamp> is any timestamp considered valid by {{#time}} plus YMD format. |fmt= can be any format according to mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##time, and defaults to j xg Y, which renders dates like 28 June 2025.
