Template:Start date

Usage

• `

• You may omit the day or month: `

The template purposely contains **no leading / trailing spaces** or newlines so it can be embedded inside tables (e.g. infobox cells) without triggering unwanted

paragraph (`

`) or preformatted (`

`) blocks.

The `nowrap` class (MediaWiki core) keeps the entire date on a single
line, avoiding ugly breaks inside infoboxes.
