ਫਰਮਾ:Adt/doc

Adt creates the access-date parameter and value for most Citation templates.

Access (retrieved) dates may be implemented in three formats and should be consistent throughout the article:

Format	Example	Notes
D Month YYYY:	3 ਦਸੰਬਰ 2024	"DMY" – day followed by full month name, followed by year; no leading zeros
Month D, YYYY:	ਦਸੰਬਰ 3, 2024	"MDY" – full month name then day; comma separating the day and year; no leading zeros
YYYY-MM-DD:	2024-12-03	"ISO" – all numeric, with 2-digit day and month

Usage

This template must be subst'd.

When subst'd, the template provides the access-date parameter name, the = sign, and the formatted date. You may specify a date format to be consistent with the other citations in the article:

Markup	Generates	Renders as
|{{subst:adt}}	|access-date={{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}	|access-date=26 ਦਸੰਬਰ 2024 (default; the most common internationally)
|{{subst:adt|dmy}}	|access-date={{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}	|access-date=26 ਦਸੰਬਰ 2024 (same as default)
|{{subst:adt|mdy}}	|access-date={{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}	|access-date=ਦਸੰਬਰ 26, 2024 (chiefly US)
|{{subst:adt|iso}}	|access-date={{CURRENTYEAR}}-{{CURRENTMONTH2}}-{{CURRENTDAY2}}	|access-date=2024-12-26 (ISO 8601; chiefly technical)

Note that the template does not include the leading pipe (|); always precede {{subst:adt}} with a pipe character as in the examples above.
