Template basics

• Templates let us put things onto pages automatically.
• Templates are added by putting the template's name in {{double braces}}.
• One advantage of using templates is that a change to a template will change that template on every page that uses the template.
• Example: If you type

{{ArticleStub}}

then the "boilerplate" for stub articles will be included in the article, like this:

Date Templates

Templates convert recent years to Roman-style dating:

{{2004}} gives Cn. Salvio Cn. Equitio cos. ‡ MMDCCLVII a.u.c..

Templates convert dates in month-day format into Roman dates:

{{Jan 1}} gives Kal. Ian. ‡.

Months use three letter abbreviations without a period: Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec

Days are not padded with leading zeroes.
