The template {{bxtn|floruit}} (or [[#Redirects|any of its aliases]]) may be used to format the display of time periods or eras during which people, ideas, theories, or political, cultural or religious movements etc., may have been active or popular. It utilizes "fl.", an abbreviation of ''[[floruit]]'' or "flourished" (in [[Latin]]), as a prefix to the relevant date(s). The prefix abbreviation is wikilinked to floruit by default, but users may employ different or additional display options. Please also see {{slink||Exceptions}} for possible usage exceptions.

 +
 +
===Applicability===
 +
This template may be used when exact or complete date information
 +
{{Ordered list|list_style_type=lower-alpha|is not required|is not necessary or pertinent|is not reliably known}}
 +
[[Floruit|By definition]], the relevant date(s) may be month, year, decade, or century ranges, or may otherwise be inexact or approximate. See [[WP:APPROXDATE]] for additional guidance.
 +
 +
===Exceptions===
 +
Normally, this template should not be used when exact, complete dates need to be indicated, such as a person's birth and death dates, or an organization's founding and dissolution dates. However, it may be used in similar cases if exact or reliable date information is unavailable, or if providing such detail is unnecessary.
 +
 +
==Parameters==
 +
All parameters are optional. Use of parameters {{bxt|date}} (and, for date ranges) {{bxt|date2}} is suggested; either or both may be required by some options. Incorrect values will be flagged under almost all usage scenarios (see {{slink||Error messages}}). Parameter names are in {{bxtn|bold}}; explanatory or expanded text may follow, in parentheses.
 +
 +
===Date formatting parameters===
 +
Suggested:
 +
*{{bxtn|date}} or {{bxtn|[1]}} (date, or start-date for range){{spaced en dash}} the time period (or the start-date of a time period) during which the subject is known to have been active or popular. Values may be single dates in any relevant time unit. You may also use this as a free-form field for single dates or for date ranges; such ranges must be separated by a [[spaced en dash]], where applicable ([[WP:APPROXDATE]]). Single-value ranges such as "1990s" or "21st century" should use this parameter only; ranges with starting and ending dates may use of parameter {{bxt|date2}} [[#rng|below]]. Apply any of Wikipedia's [[MOS:DATEFORMAT|acceptable date formats]], but please follow the relevant format established in the article, if any. Preceded by a [[narrow no-break space]]. Depending on the template options used, {{em|this parameter may require a value}}.
 +
:{{em|id=unnamed|Note:}} You may treat {{bxt|date}} as an unnamed parameter, and insert only its desired value.
 +
:{{em|id=space|Note:}} If {{bxt|date}} is not utilized, the displayed output may vary according to the user’s choice of [[whitespace character]](s) following the prefix "fl.", or according to other user formatting.
 +
:{{en dash}}{{nbsp}}{{em|for examples see}} [[#dec|{{em|here}}]] {{em|(unnamed) and}} [[#plain|{{em|here}}]] {{em|(not used)}}
 +
*{{anchor|rng}}{{bxtn|date2}} or {{bxtn|[2]}} (end-date for range){{spaced en dash}} this parameter is recommended when depicting floruit ranges; it displays the end-date for the range. {{em|Requires}} a value for parameter {{bxt|date}}. A [[spaced en dash]] is used as the range separator. Depending on the template options used, {{em|this parameter may require a value}}.
 +
:{{em|id=unnamed2|Note:}} You may treat {{bxt|date2}} as an unnamed parameter, and insert only its desired value.
 +
:{{en dash}}{{nbsp}}{{em|for examples see}} [[#dec|{{em|here}}]] {{em|(unnamed) and}} [[#plain|{{em|here}}]] {{em|(not used)}}
 +
Optional:
 +
*{{bxtn|ca}} (circa){{spaced en dash}} use for [[circa]] dates; the additional prefix "c.", preceded by a narrow no-break space, is inserted before the relevant date(s) (&#8201;c.). Accepts the following values:
 +
**set {{para|ca|yes}} or {{para|ca|date}}
 +
**set {{para|ca|date2}}
 +
**set {{para|ca|both}}
 +
:{{en dash}}{{nbsp}}{{em|for examples see}} [[#circa|{{em|here}}]]
 +
Conditional ({{em|requires a value for parameter}} {{bxt|date}}):
 +
*{{bxtn|sortable}}{{spaced en dash}} set {{para|sortable|yes}} to format the {{bxt|date}} value so that it is displayed properly within [[WP:TABLESORT|sortable table]]s; it works {{em|only}} with single-date values that conform to Wikipedia's [[MOS:DATEFORMAT|acceptable date formats]].{{efn|name=dts}}
 +
:{{em|id=sorted|Note:}} When using {{bxt|sortable}}, year values less than 1000 require leading zeroes up to the century digit, e.g. "050". Era suffixes (via parameter {{bxt|sfx}} [[#suf|below]]) are ignored.
 +
:{{en dash}}{{nbsp}}{{em|for an example see}} [[#sort|{{em|here}}]]
 +
 +
===Prefix formatting parameters===
 +
Optional:
 +
*{{bxtn|pfx1}} (prefix style){{spaced en dash}} use this parameter to {{em|italicize}} the display of the prefix "fl.", by setting {{para|pfx1|italics}}.
 +
:{{en dash}}{{nbsp}}{{em|for an example see}} [[#sort|{{em|here}}]]
 +
*{{bxtn|pfx2}} (prefix link){{spaced en dash}} alias {{bxtn|lk}}. By default, the prefix is wikilinked to ''[[floruit]]''; use this parameter to change the default by inserting one of the following values:
 +
**set {{para|pfx2|abbr}} to display a [[tooltip]] when the pointer hovers over "fl.", expanding it to "floruit"; tooltip display may depend on browser and/or operating system version.
 +
**set {{para|pfx2|no}} or {{para|pfx2|off}} to display "fl." in plain text; use to avoid [[WP:Overlinking|overlinking]] when this template is used repeatedly in the body of an article ({{slink|Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Abbreviations|Miscellaneous shortenings}}).

Template documentation

The template floruit (or any of its aliases) may be used to format the display of time periods or eras during which people, ideas, theories, or political, cultural or religious movements etc., may have been active or popular. It utilizes "fl.", an abbreviation of floruit or "flourished" (in Latin), as a prefix to the relevant date(s). The prefix abbreviation is wikilinked to floruit by default, but users may employ different or additional display options. Please also see Script error: No such module "Section link". for possible usage exceptions.

Usage

Structure

For presentation purposes only, in the box below [brackets] indicate parameter values; variables are italicized; explanatory text is in (parentheses).

Full parameter set in horizontal format
{{floruit|date= (or) [date-value]|date2= (or) [end-date-value]|b= |ca= |pfx1= |pfx2= |unit= |sfx= |sfx-lk= |sortable= |wrap= }}

Copy a blank version to use. All parameter names must be in lowercase. Use the "|" (pipe) character between each parameter. Leading and trailing spaces ( ) are trimmed from parameter values; therefore, parameters will not display if they are only populated by spaces. Misspelled or undefined parameters are ignored. Delete unused parameters or options, and explanatory text. See Script error: No such module "Section link". for important details.

By default, the date or range is prefixed with the abbreviation "fl.", wikilinked to its expanded form (floruit); displayable values are separated by a whitespace characters of varying lengths. Formatted date ranges are separated by a spaced en dash. Line wrap and word wrap is off. Optionally, the floruit date may be set to be sortable.[lower-alpha 1] In most cases, usage errors will result in display of relevant error messages.

Applicability

This template may be used when exact or complete date information Template:Ordered list By definition, the relevant date(s) may be month, year, decade, or century ranges, or may otherwise be inexact or approximate. See WP:APPROXDATE for additional guidance.

Exceptions

Normally, this template should not be used when exact, complete dates need to be indicated, such as a person's birth and death dates, or an organization's founding and dissolution dates. However, it may be used in similar cases if exact or reliable date information is unavailable, or if providing such detail is unnecessary.

Parameters

All parameters are optional. Use of parameters date (and, for date ranges) date2 is suggested; either or both may be required by some options. Incorrect values will be flagged under almost all usage scenarios (see Script error: No such module "Section link".). Parameter names are in bold; explanatory or expanded text may follow, in parentheses.

Date formatting parameters

Suggested:

  • date or [1] (date, or start-date for range)Template:Spaced en dash the time period (or the start-date of a time period) during which the subject is known to have been active or popular. Values may be single dates in any relevant time unit. You may also use this as a free-form field for single dates or for date ranges; such ranges must be separated by a spaced en dash, where applicable (WP:APPROXDATE). Single-value ranges such as "1990s" or "21st century" should use this parameter only; ranges with starting and ending dates may use of parameter date2 below. Apply any of Wikipedia's acceptable date formats, but please follow the relevant format established in the article, if any. Preceded by a narrow no-break space. Depending on the template options used, this parameter may require a value.
Note: You may treat date as an unnamed parameter, and insert only its desired value.
Note: If date is not utilized, the displayed output may vary according to the user’s choice of whitespace character(s) following the prefix "fl.", or according to other user formatting.
 for examples see here (unnamed) and here (not used)
  • date2 or [2] (end-date for range)Template:Spaced en dash this parameter is recommended when depicting floruit ranges; it displays the end-date for the range. Requires a value for parameter date. A spaced en dash is used as the range separator. Depending on the template options used, this parameter may require a value.
Note: You may treat date2 as an unnamed parameter, and insert only its desired value.
 for examples see here (unnamed) and here (not used)

Optional:

  • ca (circa)Template:Spaced en dash use for circa dates; the additional prefix "c.", preceded by a narrow no-break space, is inserted before the relevant date(s) ( c.). Accepts the following values:
    • set |ca=yes or |ca=date
    • set |ca=date2
    • set |ca=both
 for examples see here

Conditional (requires a value for parameter date):

Note: When using sortable, year values less than 1000 require leading zeroes up to the century digit, e.g. "050". Era suffixes (via parameter sfx below) are ignored.
 for an example see here

Prefix formatting parameters

Optional:

  • pfx1 (prefix style)Template:Spaced en dash use this parameter to italicize the display of the prefix "fl.", by setting |pfx1=italics.
 for an example see here
  • pfx2 (prefix link)Template:Spaced en dash alias lk. By default, the prefix is wikilinked to floruit; use this parameter to change the default by inserting one of the following values:
    • set |pfx2=abbr to display a tooltip when the pointer hovers over "fl.", expanding it to "floruit"; tooltip display may depend on browser and/or operating system version.
    • set |pfx2=no or |pfx2=off to display "fl." in plain text; use to avoid overlinking when this template is used repeatedly in the body of an article (Script error: No such module "Section link".).
 for examples see here (tooltip) and here (plain text)

Other parameters

Conditional (require a value for parameter date; may require a value for parameter date2):

 for an example see here
  • unit (time unit): use this parameter to specify the floruit date's or range's time unit
    • set |unit=century
    • set |unit=millennium
  • sfx (suffix): use this parameter to append the floruit date or range with an era suffix preceded by a no-break space. Displays in plain text, but you may use the dependent parameter sfx-lk (see below) to display with an appropriate wikilink. The available options conform to the default calendar era.
Note:
 for an example see
  • sfx-lk (suffix link): use to wikilink the suffix to the appropriate page, by setting |sfx-lk=yes;[lower-alpha 2] parameter sfx is required.
 for an example see here

Optional:

  • wrap (word wrap)Template:Spaced en dash by default, template output displays without word wrapping; to turn word wrap on, set |wrap=yes.
 for an example see here

Examples

  • Decade range
{{floruit|date=2010s}}
or
{{floruit|2010s}} (note)
Either generates: fl. 2010s
  • Decade range, in parentheses
{{floruit|date=2010s|b=yes}}
or
{{floruit|2010s|b=yes}}
Either generates: fl. 2010s
  • Prefix only, in plain text
{{floruit|pfx2=no}} 2010s (note)
Generates: fl. 2010s
  • Years range, prefix with tooltip
{{floruit|date=2010{{snd}}2016}}|pfx2=abbr}}
Generates: fl.
  • Circa century and suffix
{{floruit|date=21st century|ca=yes|sfx=ce}}
Generates: fl.
  • Suffix wikilinked, prefix in plain text, circa century, in parentheses
{{floruit|date=21st century|b=yes|ca=yes|pfx2=no|sfx=ce|sfx-lk=yes}}
Generates: fl.
