| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Adt. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
| This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Adt}}). |
Adt creates the access-date parameter and value for most Citation templates.
Access (retrieved) dates may be implemented in three formats and should be consistent throughout the article:
| Format | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| D Month YYYY: | 3 November 2025 | "DMY" – day followed by full month name, followed by year; no leading zeros |
| Month D, YYYY: | November 3, 2025 | "MDY" – full month name then day; comma separating the day and year; no leading zeros |
| YYYY-MM-DD: | 2025-11-03 | "ISO" – all numeric, with 2-digit day and month |
Usage
This template must be subst'd.
When subst'd, the template provides the access-date parameter name, the = sign, and the formatted date. You may specify a date format to be consistent with the other citations in the article:
| Markup | Generates | Renders as |
|---|---|---|
|{{subst:adt}} |
|access-date={{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} |
|access-date=9 November 2025(default; the most common internationally) |
|{{subst:adt|dmy}} |
|access-date={{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}} |
|access-date=9 November 2025(same as default) |
|{{subst:adt|mdy}} |
|access-date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}} |
|access-date=November 9, 2025(chiefly US) |
|{{subst:adt|iso}} |
|access-date={{CURRENTYEAR}}-{{CURRENTMONTH2}}-{{CURRENTDAY2}} |
|access-date=2025-11-09(ISO 8601; chiefly technical) |
Note that the template does not include the leading pipe (|); always precede {{subst:adt}} with a pipe character as in the examples above.
