::Thanks, will process this. Could this be in the documentation? Sort of basic "required parameters" list? To me, the description & examples there are already quite abstract (into high end usage).

== Date handling ==

If more extensive date handling is ever needed, consider [[Module:Date]] which can parse dates in various formats, including a Wikidata date, and perform date arithmetic. However, the module is limited to four-digit years. The template {{tl|extract}} can be used for quick tests although it does not expose options to choose the BC/BCE format.

*<code><nowiki>{{extract|[phone]T14:30:00Z}}</nowiki></code> → {{extract|[phone]T14:30:00Z}}

*<code><nowiki>{{extract|[phone]T14:30:00Z|show=ymd}}</nowiki></code> → {{extract|[phone]T14:30:00Z|show=ymd}}
