case | case | By default each language uses preferred form of the date, which typically has month in nominative or genitive grammatical case. With case parameter one can overwrite the preferred case with some other one used by a given language. Parser function {{#time}} stores nominative and genitive forms, others are stored in Data:I18n/MonthCases.tab. This functionality is mostly used by Module:Complex date. Possible cases:
| empty | optional |
class | class | Allows setting of the HTML class of the time node where the date is included. This is useful for microformats. The default value is, for legacy reasons, "dtstart" (used by hCalendar). See the microformats project. "class=-" will remove all metadata. | dtstart | optional |
trim_yeartrim year | trim year | Should years smaller than 1000 be padded with zeros to the length of 4 digits or trimmed. Options:
| 100-999 | optional |
