This template converts dates to [[ISO dates]] (YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM or YYYY as appropriate), see below for restrictions on input formats accepted.
== Usage ==
The template may be used without any parameters, in which case it displays the current date:
If no year has been specified, it displays the current year
* <tt><nowiki>{{ISO date|Aug 17}}</nowiki></tt> returns {{ISO date|Aug 17}}<br>
* <tt><nowiki>{{ISO date}}</nowiki></tt> returns {{ISO date}}
The template accepts one unnamed parameter containing a date in one of the following formats:
* <tt><nowiki>{{ISO date|15 January 2001}}</nowiki></tt> returns {{ISO date|15 January 2001}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{ISO date|15 Jan 2001}}</nowiki></tt> returns {{ISO date|15 Jan 2001}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{ISO date|15-01-2001}}</nowiki></tt> returns {{ISO date|15-01-2001}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{ISO date|January 15, 2001}}</nowiki></tt> returns {{ISO date|January 15, 2001}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{ISO date|Jan 15, 2001}}</nowiki></tt> returns {{ISO date|Jan 15, 2001}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{ISO date|Jan. 15, 2001}}</nowiki></tt> returns {{ISO date|Jan. 15, 2001}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{ISO date|01/15/2001}}</nowiki></tt> returns {{ISO date|01/15/2001}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{ISO date|January 2001}}</nowiki></tt> returns {{ISO date|January 2001}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{ISO date|Jan 2001}}</nowiki></tt> returns {{ISO date|Jan 2001}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{ISO date|2001}}</nowiki></tt> returns {{ISO date|2001}}
Formats for which it can not work because [[Help:Time function|#time]] returns an error or an incorrect ISO format:
* <tt><nowiki>{{ISO date|01-15-2001}}</nowiki></tt> returns {{ISO date|01-15-2001}} ''(hyphens indicate DD-MM-YYYY and 15 is an invalid month number)''
* <tt><nowiki>{{ISO date|15/01/2001}}</nowiki></tt> returns {{ISO date|15/01/2001}} ''(slashes indicate MM/DD/YYYY and 15 is an invalid month number)''
* <tt><nowiki>{{ISO date|1/2001}}</nowiki></tt> returns {{ISO date|1/2001}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{ISO date|2001 January 15}}</nowiki></tt> returns {{ISO date|2001 January 15}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{ISO date|2001 January}}</nowiki></tt> returns {{ISO date|2001 January}} ''(expected: {{ISO date|January 2001}})''
