Template:Adt

accessdate=2023-12-26

Adt is designed to be used with most Template:C by providing the proper syntax and fieldname for the standardized field 'accessdate' needed when citing an URL in most of those templates.

Usage

This template MUST be subst'd.

When subst'd, the template provides the ISO date field and word string

"accessdate=CURRENTYEAR-CURRENTMONTH-CURRENTDAY" (all numeric with proper leading zero's)

Alternatively, it can be used to record an older date:

"accessdate={{{3}}}-{{{2}}}-{{{1}}}", of which any one, two, or all three may be specified, and again will add proper leading zero's and format the output.

Examples

1. |{{subst:Adt|three days ago}} — generates the string with the date of three days ago.Template:IndentGiven: |{{subst:Adt|5}} it will generate:

   |accessdate=2023-12-05

2. |{{subst:Adt|three days ago|lastmonth}} — generates the string with the date of three days ago, which was in the different last month.Template:IndentGiven: |{{subst:Adt|3|10}} it will generate:

   |accessdate=2023-10-03

3. "Last year"—has been left as an exercise for the pupil!
