Category:CS1 errors: dates
This is a tracking category It is used to build and maintain lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves and their use in article and category maintenance. They are not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme.

This is a tracking category for CS1 citations with date-holding parameters where the date values do not comply with MOS:DATEFORMAT.
Check date values in: |<param1>=, |<param2>=, ...
When Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 templates contain date-holding parameters, an automated test is done to see if the dates are real dates that comply with a subset of the date rules in Wikipedia's Manual of Style, specifically checking for violations of MOS:DATEFORMAT.
To resolve this error, ensure that the date is an actual date and that the date format follows the Wikipedia Manual of Style's guidance on dates in the named parameter. See examples of unacceptable dates and how to fix them, below. Or, some conceptual issues to look for:
- impossible dates (e.g., 29 February 2011)
|access-date=
must specify a day, not just a month or year.- misplaced, incorrect, or extraneous punctuation
- extraneous text
- hyphens or slashes instead of en dashes in date ranges (en dashes are required)
- misspelling or improper capitalization (see MOS:ALLCAPS for more detail that is not in Wikipedia Manual of Style's guidance on dates)
- other unacceptable date formats listed in MOS:BADDATEFORMAT
- more than one date in a date-holding parameter
- Does not handle years before 100 AD, including BCE/BC dates. Try using parameter
|orig-year=
instead.
See Help: Citation Style 1 for information about limitations in the CS1 citation templates' handling of date formats. The MOS section on date ranges describes how to separate dates in a date range. Do not use
, –
, or {{spaced ndash}}
as these corrupt the metadata. To add an en dash, use the CharInsert edit tool or see Wikipedia:How to make dashes. You may also use this one: –. A bot is often able to correct the separator, provided the overall format is unambiguous.
Future dates in |date=
in CS1|2 citations are limited to current year + 1; that is, for 2019, citation dates in 2020 are acceptable but citation dates in 2021 and beyond are not.
Dates prior to 1582 are treated as Julian calendar dates. Dates from 1582 onward are treated as Gregorian calendar dates. The Julian calendar was used in some places until approximately 1923. Three Julian calendar dates in the overlap period, 29 February in the years 1700, 1800, and 1900, will cause this error message because those years are not leap years in the Gregorian calendar.
The access date (in |access-date=
) is checked to ensure that it contains a full date (day, month, and year) and is between 15 January 2001 (the founding date of Wikipedia) and today's date plus one day, because it represents the date that an editor viewed a web-based source to verify a statement on Wikipedia. Because editors may be in time zones that are one day ahead of the UTC date, one extra day is accepted.
Pages with this error are automatically placed in Category:CS1 errors: dates.[a]
Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 error messages are visible to all readers. Maintenance category messages remain hidden. Editors who wish to see all cs1|2 maintenance category messages can do so by updating either their common CSS page or their specific skin's CSS page (common.css and skin.css respectively) to include the following:
.citation-comment {display: inline !important;} /* show all Citation Style 1 error and maintenance messages */
Even with this css installed, older pages in Wikipedia's cache may not have been updated to show these error messages even though the page is listed in one of the tracking categories. A WP:NULLEDIT will resolve that issue.
Notes[edit]
- ^ Pages in the Book talk, Category talk, Draft, Draft talk, Education Program talk, File talk, Help talk, MediaWiki talk, Module talk, Portal talk, Talk, Template talk, TimedText talk, User, User talk, and Wikipedia talk namespaces are not included in the error tracking categories.
