{{High-use|demo={{ROOTPAGENAME}}}}

==Purpose==
This template has two functions:
# To provide correct formatting of film release dates and their locations within {{tl|Infobox film}}. A citation for each date/location may also be supplied.
# To automatically categorize films according to their first release date.

==Usage==
This template is intended to supply a result to the {{para|released}} parameter of {{tl|Infobox film}}.

The template adds <code>Category:YYYY films</code> where YYYY is the year of first release, as well as <code>[[:Category:Upcoming films]]</code> for films that have not reached their first release yet. Please note that <code>Category:YYYY films</code> will only be added if the category exists, and that if only the year is included as the release date, the film is considered to be "upcoming" during that entire year.

The television equivalents of these categories (<code>Category:YYYY television films</code> and <code>[[:Category:Upcoming television films]]</code>) are used when the {{para|TV}} parameter is set for use on television film articles.

==Syntax==
This template allows up to five release dates/locations, but normally no more than two are needed. Please see [[WP:FILMRELEASE]] for a full explanation.

===One release date only===
* {{tlx|Film date|year|month|day|location|ref1{{=}}<nowiki><ref name="xxxxx" /></nowiki>}}

If no <code>location</code> is specified, <code>month</code> and <code>day</code> may be omitted. If <code>location</code> is specified, then <code>month</code> and <code>day</code> {{em|must}} be supplied, though they may be left blank or empty if not known; {{para|ref1}} is an optional parameter allowing a named reference ("xxxxx") to be used to verify the date/location of the release.

===More than one release date===
* {{tlx|Film date|year1|month1|day1|location1|ref1{{=}}<nowiki><ref name="xxxxx" /></nowiki>|year2|month2|day2|location2|ref2{{=}}<nowiki><ref name="yyyy" /></nowiki>}} and similarly for up to five dates/locations.

In this case, all the <code>year</code>, <code>month</code>, <code>day</code> and <code>location</code> parameters, except the last, must be supplied, but as before, <code>month</code> and <code>day</code> may be left empty or blank if not known. Note that {{para|ref1}}, {{para|ref2}}, etc. are optional named parameters, and either may be omitted without affecting the other parameters.

===Examples===
{{tlx|Film date|1993}} returns:<br />{{Film date|1993}}

{{tlx|Film date|1993|02}} returns:<br />{{Film date|1993|02}}

{{tlx|Film date|1993|02|24}} returns:<br />{{Film date|1993|02|24}}

{{tlx|Film date|1993|February|24}} returns:<br />{{Film date|1993|February|24}}

{{tlx|Film date|1993|02|24||2008|03}} returns:<br />{{Film date|1993|02|24||2008|03}}

{{tlx|Film date|1993|02|24|Latvia}} returns:<br />{{Film date|1993|02|24|Latvia}}

{{tlx|Film date|1993|02|24||2008|03|23}} returns:<br />{{Film date|1993|02|24||2008|03|23}}

===Optional parameters===
* '''df''' can be set to "y" or "yes" to display the day before the month. Default is month before day.

{{tlx|Film date|1993|02|24|df{{=}}y}} returns:<br />{{Film date|1993|02|24|df=y}}

{{tlx|Film date|1993|02|24|Latvia|df{{=}}y}} returns:<br />{{Film date|1993|02|24|Latvia|df=y}}

* '''fy''' can be set to override the automatic category. For example:

{{tlx|Film date|1993|02|24||2008|03|23}} uses the category {{cl|1993 films}}

{{tlx|Film date|1993|02|24||2008|03|23|fy{{=}}2008}} uses the category {{cl|2008 films}}.

* '''TV''' is to be used for television films. It sorts films into <code><nowiki>[[Category:YYYY television films]]</nowiki></code> in place of <code><nowiki>[[Category:YYYY films]]</nowiki></code>. Set <code>TV=y</code> or <code>TV=yes</code> to do this.

* '''ref1''', '''ref2''', '''ref3''', '''ref4''', '''ref5''' are used to supply named references. See above for detail.

==Technical notes==
Do not use any of the following markup in front of this template: <code>: * #</code>. Doing so will cause HTML errors. See [[MOS:INDENT]] for more guidance.

This template uses {{tl|Start date}} to handle the hard work of date formatting, and {{tl|Plainlist}} to format list items as recommended for use within infoboxes.

== Tracking ==
Tracking use of the {{para|fy}} parameter, which overrides the automatic categorisation by year:
* {{clc|Category:Template film date with category override}}

Tracking by number of release dates:
* {{clc|Category:Template film date with 1 release date}}
* {{clc|Category:Template film date with 2 release dates}}
* {{clc|Category:Template film date with 3 release dates}}
* {{clc|Category:Template film date with 4 release dates}}
* {{clc|Category:Template film date with 5 release dates}}
