If a date is input as the first parameter, the template will format that date (use the second parameter to specify an output format - see template:date). If no date in input, the template will return nothing.

Example:

  • "{{fdate|7/4/15}}" renders as: "4 ਜੁਲਾਈ 2015"
  • "{{fdate|7/4/15|dmy}}" renders as: "4 ਜੁਲਾਈ 2015"
  • "{{fdate|7/4/15|mdy}}" renders as: "ਜੁਲਾਈ 4, 2015"


  • "{{fdate|}}" yields: ""
  • "{{fdate||dmy}}" yields: ""
  • "{{fdate||mdy}}" yields: ""
