Template:Death date/doc

Usage
Returns a person's date of death.

Using this template rather than simply inserting the date into articles allows for the inclusion of hidden metadata about the date. This metadata can be used by web browsers and other software tools to extract the details, and display them using some other website or mapping tool, index or search them.


 * Syntax :
 *  

February 24, 1993 returns February 24, 1993
 * Example :

An optional parameter, df, can be set (to "y" or "yes" for example) to display the day before the month. This is primarily used in articles about people from parts of the world where the day precedes the month in a date. Conversely the unimplemented parameter, mf, can be set as a hint for "month first", currently the default behaviour.


 * Example :

February 24, 1993 returns "February 24, 1993"

Note: The template will appear broken when the parameters are left blank.
