Template:Roman Date

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This module implements the {{Roman Date}} template. For behavioural documentation, please see the template page.

• This module supports dates formatted in the form YYYY-MM-DD or MM-DD
• This is a new module and may be subject to bugs, to report bugs please use the discord
• This module also supports leap years which are handled as per the current leap year standard:
  • if (year is not divisible by 4) then (it is a common year)
  • else if (year is not divisible by 100) then (it is a leap year)
  • else if (year is not divisible by 400) then (it is a common year)
  • else (it is a leap year)

Usage

{{Roman Date|YYYY-MM-DD}}

Replace YYYY-MM-DD with the date you would like to be converted to Roman dating. When giving a year in BCE, pass the year with a minus sign in front of the year with no space (753 BCE => -753).

For more information please see Roman Dates.
