'''Adt''' creates the 'accessdate' field and value for most {{C|Citation templates}}.

Access dates may be implemented in three formats and should be consistent throughout the article:
* {{var|D Month YYYY}}:{{pad|1em}}3<!--Don't use magicword here; need a 1-digit example.--> {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}{{pad|1em}}("DMY" – day followed by full month name, followed by year; no leading zeros)
* {{var|Month D, YYYY}}:{{pad|0.8em}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} 3, {{CURRENTYEAR}}{{pad|0.7em}}("MDY" – full month name then day; comma separating the day and year; no leading zeros)
* {{var|YYYY-MM-DD}}:{{pad|1.4em}}{{CURRENTYEAR}}-{{CURRENTMONTH}}-03{{pad|3.8em}}("ISO" — all numeric, with 2-digit day and month)

===Usage===
This template MUST be subst'd.

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

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