This purpose of the {{start date}} template is to return the date (or date-time) that an event or entity started or was created. It also includes duplicate, machine-readable date (or date-time) in the ISO date format (which is hidden by CSS), for use inside other templates (or table rows) which emit microformats. It should only be used once in each such template and should not be used outside such templates. The hidden date degrades gracefully when CSS is not available.

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 using DMY format for dates.

  • {{start date|1993|02|24|df=y}} → "24  1993 (1993-02-24)"
  • {{start date|1993|02|24|08|30|df=yes}} → "08:30, 24  1993 (1993-02-24T08:30)"

Note: The template will appear broken when the parameters are left blank (as seen hereinbefore). (Hereinbefore? Yup, hereinbefore. Not your average German mistress.)
