Dates such as 3Q 1984, Spring 2000 or Second Half of 2012 sometimes pop up. In CS1 templates I can specify, e.g., |date=Third Quarter 1984, but {{date table sorting}} doesn't document an equivalent. What is the proper way to handle them? --Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 15:26, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
Display incorrect
In the preview of an edit I see Vorlage:Date table sorting instead of the date. the date is formatted as | 5,91<ref name="HVZ-BW" /> || {{Date table sorting|1823|08}}. Is something additionally needed? Theking2 (talk) 20:14, 28 July 2022 (UTC) Theking2 (talk) 20:14, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
- Theking2, that looks like an invalid date. If you fix the date, does the template work? – 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. Johnuniq (talk) 00:02, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
Linking
Since the standard linking and the optional link=off have been removed, couldn't we at least add an optional link=on for special cases? Thanks. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 02:25, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
- After reading WP:DATELINK, please give an example where
link=oncould be useful. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:42, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
