== Display incorrect ==

In the preview of an edit I see ''Vorlage:Date table sorting'' instead of the date. the date is formatted as <code><nowiki>| 5,91<ref name="HVZ-BW" /> || {{Date table sorting|1823|08}}</nowiki></code>. Is something additionally needed?

:{{U|Theking2}}, that looks like an invalid date. If you fix the date, does the template work? – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 12:20, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

:That's at dewiki and [[:de:Vorlage:Date table sorting]] is a red link there, meaning that the template does not exist. The template works with the date as entered, but not at dewiki. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 00:02, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

== Linking ==

Since the standard linking and the optional <code>link=off</code> have been removed, couldn't we at least add an optional <code>link=on</code> for special cases? Thanks.

:After reading [[WP:DATELINK]], please give an example where <code>link=on</code> could be useful. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 00:42, 9 October 2022 (UTC)

Is there any way to make a [[MOS:DATERANGE]] sort to the correct chronological position in both ascending and descending displays? For example in [[Jack Deam#Filmography]] the date ranges sort by the first date in the range, which is correct if sorting oldest first but gives incorrect chronological order when using date sorting to display most recent at the top where it is the end of the range date that determines correct chronological order.

:I believe not although you might check at [[WP:VPT]]. As I far as I know, each column has a single sort key which is used for both ascending and descending ordering. For example, <code>2016–2022</code> cannot be sorted by 2016 in one direction and 2022 in the other. I don't think it matters much for the example given. If it were a big deal, two columns would be needed, one for the first date and another for the last. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 02:53, 6 April 2023 (UTC)

== Invalid date error for 2524 BC ==

The [[Decolonisation of Asia]] article has a table with a cell containing the date 2524 BC. This template throws an error if used with this date. [[User:Wtmitchell|Wtmitchell]] [[User talk:Wtmitchell|(talk)]] <small>(earlier ''Boracay Bill'')</small> 00:16, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

:I believe the following works:

:*<code><nowiki>{{dts|2524|||BC}}</nowiki></code> → {{dts|2524|||BC}}

:The missing parameters 2 and 3 are for the month and day. The era (BC etc.) is parameter 4. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 00:38, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

:{{ping|Wtmitchell}} I should probably have notified you. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 03:37, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

::Thanks. I applied fixed [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Decolonisation_of_Asia&diff=1193505885&oldid=1192949085 here]. [[User:Wtmitchell|Wtmitchell]] [[User talk:Wtmitchell|(talk)]] <small>(earlier ''Boracay Bill'')</small> 04:39, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
