Template:ME-date

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template inserts a date for an event in the fictional history of Middle-earth. These dates are formatted to follow the standards at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Middle-earth/Standards#Dates. Please see that page for information on when this template and other 'date links' should be used. In general, this template should be used only to clarify cases where a few dates in an article or section apply to a different 'age' than the rest. Thus, it should not appear at all in most Middle-earth articles and only once or twice in those articles where it is needed.

Usage:
{{ME-date|<age>|<year>}} or {{ME-date|age=<age>|year=<year>}}

Both parameters are optional. The <year> should be a numeric value and the <age> any of the following;

Valian Years	V, VY, V.Y., or Valian
Years of the Lamps	L, YL, Y.L., or Lamps
Years of the Trees	T, YT, Y.T., or Trees
Years of the Sun	1, YS, Y.S., 1st, or Sun
Second Age	2, SA, S.A., 2nd, or Second
Third Age	3, TA, T.A., 3rd, or Third
Fourth Age	4, FA, F.A., 4th, or Fourth
Shire Reckoning	S, SR, S.R., or Shire

Example:
{{ME-date|TA|3018}}

T.A. 3018
