This template converts dates to [[ISO dates]] (YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM or YYYY as appropriate), see below for restrictions on input formats accepted.

== Usage ==
The template may be used without any parameters, in which case it displays the current date:
If no year has been specified, it displays the current year

* <code><nowiki>{{ISO date|Aug 17}}</nowiki></code> returns {{ISO date|Aug 17}}<br />
* <code><nowiki>{{ISO date}}</nowiki></code> returns {{ISO date}}

The template accepts one unnamed parameter containing a date in one of the following formats:

* <code><nowiki>{{ISO date|2001-01-15}}</nowiki></code> returns {{ISO date|2001-01-15}}

* <code><nowiki>{{ISO date|15 January 2001}}</nowiki></code> returns {{ISO date|15 January 2001}}
* <code><nowiki>{{ISO date|15 Jan 2001}}</nowiki></code> returns {{ISO date|15 Jan 2001}}
* <code><nowiki>{{ISO date|15-01-2001}}</nowiki></code> returns {{ISO date|15-01-2001}}

* <code><nowiki>{{ISO date|January 15, 2001}}</nowiki></code> returns {{ISO date|January 15, 2001}}
* <code><nowiki>{{ISO date|Jan 15, 2001}}</nowiki></code> returns {{ISO date|Jan 15, 2001}}
* <code><nowiki>{{ISO date|Jan. 15, 2001}}</nowiki></code> returns {{ISO date|Jan. 15, 2001}}
* <code><nowiki>{{ISO date|01/15/2001}}</nowiki></code> returns {{ISO date|01/15/2001}}

* <code><nowiki>{{ISO date|January 2001}}</nowiki></code> returns {{ISO date|January 2001}}
* <code><nowiki>{{ISO date|Jan 2001}}</nowiki></code> returns {{ISO date|Jan 2001}}

* <code><nowiki>{{ISO date|2001}}</nowiki></code> returns {{ISO date|2001}}

Formats for which it can not work because [[Help:Time function|#time]] returns an error ({{Error|Error: Invalid time.}}):

* <code><nowiki>{{ISO date|01-15-2001}}</nowiki></code> ''(hyphens indicate DD-MM-YYYY and 15 is an invalid month number)''
* <code><nowiki>{{ISO date|15/01/2001}}</nowiki></code> ''(slashes indicate MM/DD/YYYY and 15 is an invalid month number)''
* <code><nowiki>{{ISO date|1/2001}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{ISO date|2001 January 15}}</nowiki></code>
* <code><nowiki>{{ISO date|2001 January}}</nowiki></code> returns {{ISO date|2001 January}} ''(expected: {{ISO date|January 2001}})''
