accessdate=4 November 2024

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

Adt creates the 'accessdate' field and value for most Citation templates.

Access dates may be implemented in three formats and should be consistent throughout the article:

  • D Month YYYY: 3 November 2024 ("DMY" – day followed by full month name, followed by year; no leading zeros)
  • Month D, YYYY: November 3, 2024 ("MDY" – full month name then day; comma separating the day and year; no leading zeros)
  • YYYY-MM-DD: 2024-11-03 ("ISO" — all numeric, with 2-digit day and month)

Usage

This template MUST be subst'd.

When subst'd, the template provides the accessdate parameter name, the = sign, and the formatted date. You may specify a date format to be consistent with the other citations in the article:

Markup Generates Renders as

 |{{subst:adt}}


 |{{subst:adt|dmy}}


 |{{subst:adt|mdy}}


 |{{subst:adt|iso}}

 |accessdate=CURRENTDAY CURRENTMONTHNAME CURRENTYEAR


 |accessdate=CURRENTDAY CURRENTMONTHNAME CURRENTYEAR


 |accessdate=CURRENTMONTHNAME CURRENTDAY, CURRENTYEAR


 |accessdate=CURRENTYEAR-CURRENTMONTH2-CURRENTDAY2

 |accessdate=4 November 2024
 (default; the most common internationally)

 |accessdate=4 November 2024
 (same as default)

 |accessdate=November 4, 2024
 (chiefly US)

 |accessdate=2024-11-04
 (ISO 8601; chiefly technical)

Note that the template does not include the leading pipe (|); always precede {{subst:adt}} with a pipe character as in the examples above.
