Template:Info date

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

Description

This template produces tables with lists of people born, married, or died on a specific day of the year. And other things we may add, such as battles.

Syntax

Type or paste {{info date}} on a page about a day, preferably below the textual matter that may be copied from elsewhere.

Notes

Old Style and New Style dates will lead to overlaps and under-reporting, mainly in the British Empire before 1752 but in some countries until two centuries later. There are probably ways around that, such as a semi-automatic creation of a Gregorian date as an extra "fact" for certain events that were specified with Julian dates.
