ਫਰਮਾ:ਮਿਤੀ
This template is used on 20,000+ pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Please check that you do actually need this template before using it. Default date sorting does not work for spelled-out month–year or year–month combos and dates before the year 100, but it works in most other circumstances. Furthermore, this template litters the text content of tables, and data-sort-value should generally be preferred. For more information, see Help:Sorting § Date sorting problems. |
This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see COinS in Wikipedia. |
ਇਹ ਫਰਮਾ ਹੇਠ ਲਿਖੇ ਲੂਆ ਨੂੰ ਵਰਤਦਾ ਹੈ: |
Dts (date time sorting) is used to correctly sort and display dates in a sortable table (see Help:Sorting).
What it solves
ਸੋਧੋDates in their customary formats, if simply treated as alphanumeric text strings, sort in nonsensical ways:
- 1/8/2013 sorts alphanumerically before 5/3/1967, because 1 is less than 5;
- February 5, 1922 sorts alphanumerically before January 3, 1922, because F comes before J.
Use of the YYYY-MM-DD format would solve this problem, but with minor exceptions that format is not used in articles (see WP:DATEFORMAT).
This template automatically attaches a "hidden key" to dates, causing them to sort correctly while still being displayed in one of the customary display formats such as February 5, 1922 or 5 Feb 1922.

Notes
ਸੋਧੋSorting for incomplete dates
ਸੋਧੋ- Whole months or years
- A whole year or month (and year) is sorted according to its first day.
- Missing years
- If the year is not specified, the date will be sorted as if the year were the current year.
- Blank dates
- For no date input at all, the maximum possible sort key is used, so the entry will sort last.
Error handling
ਸੋਧੋEntering an invalid date format will (generally) produce an error message such as the one below.
Error in Template:Date table sorting: '35 June 1900' is an invalid date
Errors are tracked in Category:Dts templates with errors.
Calendar choice
ਸੋਧੋThe template is not capable of distinguishing Julian and Gregorian calendar dates. Also, it is not capable of taking a date in one calendar as input and outputting a date in the other calendar. Thus, to insure proper sorting, editors must either use one calendar for all dates, or pick a specific changeover date (for example, deciding that 4 October 1582 is Julian and all later dates are Gregorian); this would be done on an article-by article basis. Editors are also responsible for explaining to the reader whether the visible dates are Julian or Gregorian, if there is any possibility of confusion.
Linking
ਸੋਧੋThe template formerly linked dates automatically, with link=off
used to suppress linking. In accordance with current guidelines linking of dates is no longer supported and instances of link=off
should be removed. Transclusions using the |link=
parameter are tracked in Category:Dts templates with deprecated parameters.
