==Usage==
This template ('''{{tl|Start date}}''') returns a date, or date-time. It also includes the same date (and time) duplicated in a hidden (by CSS) ISO date format, for use in [[microformat]]s. This hidden date degrades gracefully when CSS is not available.

==Syntax==
*<nowiki>{{Start date|year|month|day}}</nowiki>
*<nowiki>{{Start date|year|month|day|HH|MM|SS|TimeZone}}</nowiki> (MM and SS are optional; TimeZone may be a numerical value, or "Z" for [[Coordinated Universal Time|UTC]]; see examples)

Examples:

*<nowiki>{{Start date|1993}}</nowiki> returns "{{Start date|1993}}"
*<nowiki>{{Start date|1993|02}}</nowiki> returns "{{Start date|1993|02}}"
*<nowiki>{{Start date|1993|02|24}}</nowiki> returns "{{Start date|1993|02|24}}"
*<nowiki>{{Start date|1993|02|24|08|30}}</nowiki> returns "{{Start date|1993|02|24|08|30}}"
*<nowiki>{{Start date|1993|02|24|08|||+01:00}}</nowiki> returns "{{Start date|1993|02|24|08|||+01:00}}"
*<nowiki>{{Start date|1993|02|24|08|||-07:00}}</nowiki> returns "{{Start date|1993|02|24|08|||-07:00}}"
*:<nowiki>{{Start date|1993|02|24|08|30|23}}</nowiki> returns "{{Start date|1993|02|24|08|30|23}}"
*<nowiki>{{Start date|1993|02|24|08|30|23|Z}}</nowiki> returns "{{Start date|1993|02|24|08|30|23|Z}}"
*<nowiki>{{Start date|1993|02|24|08|30|23|+01:00}}</nowiki> returns "{{Start date|1993|02|24|08|30|23|+01:00}}"
*<nowiki>{{Start date|1993|02|24|08|30|23|-07:00}}</nowiki> returns "{{Start date|1993|02|24|08|30|23|-07:00}}"

An optional parameter, df, can be set to "y" or "yes" (or indeed any value) to display the day before the month. This is primarily used in articles about events in parts of the world where the day precedes the month in a date.

Examples:

*<nowiki>{{Start date|1993|02|24|df=y}}</nowiki> returns "{{Start date|1993|02|24|df=y}}"
*<nowiki>{{Start date|1993|02|24|08|30|df=yes}}</nowiki> returns "{{Start date|1993|02|24|08|30|df=yes}}"

'''Note:''' The template will appear broken when the parameters are left blank (as seen hereinbefore).
