Changes

This purpose of the '''{{tl|start and end dates}}''' template is to return the date range during which an event transpired or an entity existed. It also includes duplicate, machine-readable date (or date-time) in the ISO date format (which is hidden by CSS), for use inside other templates (or table rows) which emit [[Wikipedia:microformat|microformat]]s. '''It should be used only once in each such template''' and '''never used outside such templates'''. The hidden date degrades gracefully when CSS is not available.

* outside [[Wikipedia:microformat|microformat]]-emitting templates - if in doubt, see the parent template's documentation
