==This week==

Today's date is {{#time:F j}}.

The current week began on
Sunday, {{#time:l, j F|-{{#time:w}} days}}

== Overlap ==

The overlap between the different templates actually doesn't seem too bad;

#'Month+1' and 'Ed Poor/next month' are identical except for optional parameter and 'CURRENTMONTH' vs 'CURRENTMONTHNAME'.
#'Day+1' and 'Ed Poor/tomorrow date' have similar intent, but very different implementation.
#'Daycap' and 'Ed Poor/days in month' serve somewhat similar functions.

It shouldn't be too difficult to sort these out and come up with consistent naming methods. --[[User:CBDunkerson|CBDunkerson]] 18:41, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

==Zoo (examples)==

Note that this category contains templates that currently needed more work and unification.
Some of them are trials, and lack proper documentation and test cases. Use these templates with care, as they will need more cleanup.

Today's date is {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}.

The current US week began on Sunday, {{date from ordinal|{{User:Ed Poor/sunday of current week}}}}
{|border="1" cellpadding="4"
|last month:<BR>{{#time:F|-1 month}}

|next month:<BR>{{#time:F|+1 month}}

There {{plural: {{days left in month}} | is | are }} {{days left in month}} {{plural: {{days left in month}} | day| days}} remaining in {{#time:F}}.

These templates help you with dynamic date calculations:
*{{tl|ordinal date}}: {{ordinal date}}
*{{tl|current hour}}: {{current hour}}
*{{tl|current minute}}: {{current minute}}

:Right now, yesterday is wrong. It's says "yesterday: Wednesday May 1". It got the DOW right, but today is the 1st. [[User:Rocket000|Rocket000]] ([[User talk:Rocket000|talk]]) 22:17, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
:Oh and the day after tomorrow is the 3rd, not the 4th. [[User:Rocket000|Rocket000]] ([[User talk:Rocket000|talk]]) 22:18, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

::Okay, so is it time to put this animal out of its misery? I made a whole bunch of date calculating templates a few years ago (late 2006), but maybe they have been superseded by something better. Is it time to delete the lot of them? --[[User:Ed Poor|Uncle Ed]] ([[User talk:Ed Poor|talk]]) 17:56, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

== Infant age ==

I need help creating a new template for infant age or possibly a combination birth date and age template.  I have looked at the templates at [[:Category:Date mathematics templates]].  I think a template converted age for infants under 1 year to ## mos. and ## days and switched to ## yrs and ## mos. from say 1-3 and then just years above.  However, maybe I need two new templates for {{tl|age in months and days}} and  {{tl|Age in years and months}}.  I have already posted at
:# {{tl|Birth date and age}} - [[Template_talk:Birth_date_and_age#Infant_parameterization]]
:# {{tl|Age in years and days}} - [[Template_talk:Age_in_years_and_days#Infant_age]]
:# {{tl|User current age}}'s leading editor - [[User_talk:Alfakim#Infant_age_template]]--[[User:TonyTheTiger|TonyTheTiger]] <small>([[User talk:TonyTheTiger|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/TonyTheTiger|c]]/[[User:TonyTheTiger/Antonio Vernon|bio]]/[[ User:TonyTheTiger/WPChiDirector |tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM]]) </small> 22:07, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
