Template:Today

Template documentation

{{subst:today}} permanently inserts today's date into an article.

To insert a 'live' (continuously updated) date, use {{date}} instead.

Usage

• {{subst:today}} causes today's date to be written into a page. The date will not change.

The template must be called with subst:.

In subsequent edits to the page, the date will appear as {{date|2024-04-19}}, and — subject to the date reformatting rules available to {{date}} — in direct views as 19 April 2024.

Examples

• {{subst:today}}
