This module is intended for processing of date strings. Currently used by:

{{ISOdate}}
{{ISOyear}}

It relies on Module:DateI18n

ISOdate

This function is the engine behind {{ISOdate}}. Please see that template for full documentation

Usage:

should not be used directly but only through {{ISOdate}} template

Parameters:

|date=date or |1=date: a valid date in "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" format; this date can be abbreviated with less fields (e.g. only the year), and leading zeroes in each numeric field may be dropped; this date may be optionally followed by a required space and any trailing text (which should be between parentheses) parsed and left as is in the ouput; if the specified date is not in a valid format, the value of this parameter will be returned as is.
|class=class: optional parameter for embedding the output within an invisible HTML <span class="class" lang="lang" dir="ltr or rtl">...</span> element with this class, also tagging the specified language and its direction (by default, use |class=dtime, as defined in microformats); set it to an empty value to remove this invisible HTML tag; this microtag is also not emitted if the given date cannot be parsed with one of the supported formats and its value will be returned as is.
|lang=lang: optional BCP 47 code of a language (not an interwiki code) used to translate the generated visible date (also used to properly tag the generated microformat, if it is generated, in the standard lang="lang" attribute of HTML)
|case=case: optional parameter for handling grammatical cases (such as genitive) in the translated date; only valid with some specific languages.
|trim_year=flag: optional parameter which allows (when it is set to a nn-empty value) to not display additional leading zeroes for years; by default or when this parameter is empty, years are rendered with at least 4 digits, padding them with zeroes as necessary.
