Usage
{{YEAR|string formatted as a valid date}}
Specify optional parameter Template:Param to get soft error rather than a hard {{error}} Template:YEAR/demo Template:YEAR/demo Template:YEAR/demo Template:YEAR/demo Template:YEAR/demo Template:YEAR/demo Template:YEAR/demo Template:YEAR/demo
Reports "Error" if given bad input:
Template:YEAR/demo
Template:In5Reason for the error: there are not 14 months.
Template:YEAR/demo
Template:In5Reason for the error: no month has 61 days.
Template:YEAR/demo
Template:In5Reason for the error: there is no such month name.
Template:YEAR/demo
Template:In5Reason for the error: no date information to parse.
Template:YEAR/demo
Template:In5Reason for the error: includes extraneous content.
If used with a year range, it returns only the first match:
This presently only works when the year range is specified with a hyphen; if correctly given with an en dash, it reports an error (this will probably not be fixed, because handling ranges is not the template's function; that it kinda-sorta works on something like 1999-2001 with a hyphen is basically just an accident):
If used without input, it simply outputs the current year:
It can be cleanly substituted for this purpose. If fed invalid data when substituted, it produces a larger, red error.
