Template:Set news list/sandbox

• April 25: [[{{{1}}}]]

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

{{Set news list}} formats set entries for display in {{News}} and on the main page.

Usage

This template accepts two unnamed parameters: the first for the unlinked set name, and the second for the date. The date must be provided in Month D, Year format (e.g. April 25, 2024; F j, Y in PHP's strtotime() format).

Current usage of this template is to format the output of a Semantic MediaWiki query, e.g. {{ #ask: [[Page type::Set page]] [[English release date::>{{ #time: Y-m-d | now - 15 days }}]] | ?English release date#-F[F j, Y] | link=none | format=template | template=Set news list | default = No known releases. }}. Note the #-F[F j, Y] result formatter on the ?English release date result; this is to correctly format the date for this template.

This template correctly handles dates with all of month, day, and year (returns Month Day for dates in this year, or Month Day, Year for dates in other years), dates with month and year (returns Month for dates in this year, or Month Year for dates in other years), and dates with only the year (always returns Year). Any date with a day but no month, or a day and/or month but no year, is considered invalid.
