Template:Date/doc
This template links to a year's relevant article. It should speed up the editing process and make the text more readable when editing.
This template first tries to link to a year's dedicated article (e.g. 300 AC), but if that article doesn't exist the template links to the relevant section of either Years after Aegon's Conquest or Years before Aegon's Conquest.
Usage
[edit]One year
[edit]{{Date|#}} where # denotes the number of the year. Years before Aegon's Conquest must be prefixed with a negative sign -.
For example, {{Date|300}} results in "300 AC", but {{Date|-300}} results in "300 BC".
Two years
[edit]{{Date|from #|to #}}
When two years are given, the template returns a range.
For example, {{Date|283|298}} results in "283–298 AC", and {{Date|-283|298}} results in "283 BC – 298 AC".
As a special case, if the second argument is + the range spans up to the present. Example: {{Date|200|+}} results in "200 AC – Present".
