You can set the default to be 'link=off' because all articles now use it for dts (and for the now deprecated dts2 template). The default will be useful for new uses. [[User:Lightmouse|Lightmouse]] ([[User talk:Lightmouse|talk]]) 13:30, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

I thought I had already asked this question, but apparently not. :) Is it possible to make this template display a date without the year, i.e. just day and month? [[User:PC78|PC78]] ([[User talk:PC78|talk]]) 23:16, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
: No, not with its current setup. <
::What I mean is, is it feasible to make this change to the template? [[User:PC78|PC78]] ([[User talk:PC78|talk]]) 00:42, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
::: This feature was not implemented probably because it wasn't requested that often. It can be done, though. In which article it is needed? <
::::I've been using it in articles such as [[List of South Korean films of 2006]], where repeating the years seems rather redundant and takes up space. [[User:PC78|PC78]] ([[User talk:PC78|talk]]) 13:39, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
::::: Okay done. <code><nowiki>{{dts||10|25}}</nowiki></code> will show as {{dts||10|25}}; it will be sorted along with other dates that ''do'' have years, and it's year will be considered as whatever the current year is (so in this case, it would be sorted as <code>2008-10-25</code>). <
::::::Many thanks! [[User:PC78|PC78]] ([[User talk:PC78|talk]]) 13:21, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
== Approximate dates ==
Is it possible to use this table with approximate dates? I'm thinking of dates in the format "c.", "before", "after", "16/17 November" etc. The question relates to [[List of the titled nobility of England and Ireland 1300–1309]] which is currently nominated for FL, where it has been suggested that a sortable list be used. I've found this problematic with so many approximate dates. [[User:Lampman|Lampman]] ([[User talk:Lampman|talk]]) 13:24, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
: That's not possible with the current code. Regarding implementing it, I think it'd be easier to write custom code for the specific article rather than rewriting this template. Just use {{tl|sort}} to do what you want; the first parameter is for sorting, the second is for what you actually want to appear. <

: The template can be forced to nowrap by default if people think that makes more sense. There might be some fringe cases where that is unhelpful, though, like in a table where the columns are very narrow. <
::Nowrap may well be the default but - as you've noted - this could cause problems (but to what extent, it's hard to say). What I had in mind is to add the nowrap option, but make it default to "off" so as to be on the safe side by not changing the behavior of existing transclusions. This could be the initial setup, at any rate. [[User:GregorB|GregorB]] ([[User talk:GregorB|talk]]) 06:52, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
