March 28, 2024 20240328082415:This template was created for demo purposes. Do not use it on actual content pages.

This template converts a YearMonthDay timestamp into the standard LGPedia date string and categorizes the page under Category:Videos by date.

Usage

{{Date/sandbox}}

This adds today.

{{Date/sandbox|TIMESTAMP}}

By manually adding a timestamp, you can pre- or post-date videos.

Date formatting

Dates have to be formatted year, month, date; zero-padded, no punctuation. If you did it right, you should have a total of eight digits. Christmas Eve 2007 would be formatted as 20071224, for example.

For comparison and understanding:

Today is Thursday, March 28, 2024.
In digits, this would either be 03/28/2024 (US) or 28/03/2024 (majority of the world).
Formatted correctly for the template, it would be 20240328.
