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

Usage

The template may be used without any parameters, in which case it displays the current date: If no year has been specified, it displays the current year

  • {{ISO date|Aug 17}} returns }}
  • {{ISO date}} returns {{{1}}}2026-01-16}}

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

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

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

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