This template converts dates to YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM or YYYY as appropriate - see below for restrictions on input formats accepted.

Usage

This template only converts dates formatted in one of the formats below to an ISO date

The template accepts one unnamed parameter containing a date in one of the following formats:

  • {{ISO date|15 January 2001}} returns 2001-01-15
  • {{ISO date|15 Jan 2001}} returns 2001-01-15
  • {{ISO date|15-01-2001}} returns 2001-01-15
  • {{ISO date|January 15, 2001}} returns 2001-01-15
  • {{ISO date|Jan 15, 2001}} returns 2001-01-15
  • {{ISO date|Jan. 15, 2001}} returns 2001-01-15
  • {{ISO date|01/15/2001}} returns 2001-01-15
  • {{ISO date|January 2001}} returns 2001-01
  • {{ISO date|Jan 2001}} returns 2001-01
  • {{ISO date|2001}} returns 2001

Formats for which it can not work because #time returns an error or an incorrect ISO format:

  • {{ISO date|01-15-2001}} returns Error: Invalid time. (hyphens indicate DD-MM-YYYY and 15 is an invalid month number)
  • {{ISO date|15/01/2001}} returns Error: Invalid time. (slashes indicate MM/DD/YYYY and 15 is an invalid month number)
  • {{ISO date|1/2001}} returns Error: Invalid time.
  • {{ISO date|2001 January 15}} returns Error: Invalid time.
  • {{ISO date|2001 January}} returns 2001-01-01 (expected: 2001-01)
