Template:Today/doc

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

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

Usage

• {{subst:today/doc}} 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|2026-01-08}}, and — subject to the date reformatting rules available to {{date}} — in direct views as 8 January 2026.

Examples

• {{subst:today/doc}}
