Module:Infobox date field metadata/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Module:Infobox date field metadata. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original module page. |
 | This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature state, is considered relatively stable and bug-free, and may be used wherever appropriate. It can be mentioned on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users. To minimise server load and avoid disruptive output, improvements should be developed through sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
This module allows infoboxes using {{Infobox date field metadata}} to automatically produce machine-readable metadata in form of microformats (see also WP Microformats) from infobox fields using recognized dates, times, and date ranges. Unrecognized, ambiguous and incomplete values are skipped and some will produce an error tracking category.
Usage
[edit]This module is not intended to be used directly other than from its parent template {{Infobox date field metadata}}. See that template for description.
