Template:Infobox_date_field_metadata
Template:Infobox date field metadata
This template uses Lua: |
This template allows infoboxes to automatically produce invisible machine-readable metadata in form of microformats (see also WP Microformats) from infobox fields using recognized dates, times, and date ranges for all articles using that infobox. This is equivallent to using {{start date}} and similar templates in the articles directly. Unrecognized, ambiguous and incomplete values are skipped and some will produce an error tracking category.
The use of this template allows well-formatted date fields to output metadata without the need for {{start date}} and {{end date}} template family when the field value is a simple date (planned: or some common recognized cases, such as attached references).
This template does not fully replace {{start date}} and these templates will be required if the field value cannot be easily recognized, such as containing additional text or multiple dates. In such cases, the module will not output anything.
