Revision as of 15:16, 3 August 2009 by Readin (talk | contribs) (linking to relevent section of MOS)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)This template has been designed so that it can be used both in articles that adopt the BC/AD date notation and those that adopt the BCE/CE date notation without forcing some articles to have inconsistent style.
It will display BCE/CE notation unless the template gives the parameter BC a value. For instance {{History of China}} will give BCE/CE notation, {{History of China|BC=1}} will give BC/AD notation.
It can be edited as normal, but with the following exception:
- Instead of writing BCE or BC write {{#if: {{{BC|}}}|BC|BCE}}
- Instead of writing CE or AD write {{#if: {{{BC|}}}|AD|CE}}
This functionality is necessitated by the Misplaced Pages Manual of Style requirement that BC-AD and BCE-CE do not both appear in the same article.
