It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

Generates a localised date with appropriate attributes to make it sortable in a table.

{{Date table sorting|date=2020-09-24|format=j F Y|lang=fr}}

displays: 24 septembre 2020 and sorts well in a table.

Arguments

lang: Language code (usually, you should pass {{PAGELANGUAGE}}).
format: Deprecated (kept for backware compatibility)
phpformat: Date display format: any string supported by {{#time}} (you can read its documentation page). Defaults to "j xg Y" (e.g. “6 January 2020”).
precision: Instead of setting a phpformat, the module can guess it from date precision integer: 9 will display only year, 10 will display month and year, and 11 will display day, month and year. These values come from Wikidata date data model.
date: full date (takes precedence over other date arguments)
year: year (takes precedence over numbered date arguments)
month: month (works only if year is set)
day: day (works only if both year and month are set)
1: full date or year
2: month (works only if 1 is set)
3: day (works only if both 1 and 2 are set)
