==Notes== ===Sorting for incomplete dates=== ;Whole months or years: A whole year or month (and year) is sorted according to its first day. ;Missing years: If the year is not specified, the date will be sorted as if the year were the current year. ;Blank dates: For no date input at all, the maximum possible sort key is used, so the entry will sort last. ===Error handling=== Errors are tracked in [[:Category:Date table sorting templates with errors]]. ===Calendar choice=== The template is not capable of distinguishing Julian and Gregorian calendar dates. Also, it is not capable of taking a date in one calendar as input and outputting a date in the other calendar. Thus, to insure proper sorting, editors must either use one calendar for all dates, or pick a specific changeover date (for example, deciding that 4 October 1582 is Julian and all later dates are Gregorian); this would be done on an article-by article basis. Editors are also responsible for explaining to the reader whether the visible dates are Julian or Gregorian, if there is any possibility of confusion. ===Linking=== The template formerly linked dates automatically, with <code>link=off</code> used to suppress linking. In accordance with current guidelines linking of dates is no longer supported and instances of <code>link=off</code> should be removed.
