__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__

The {{Monthyear+1}} template takes no parameters and returns the name of the month and the year as they will be in another month, like this:

{{Monthyear+1}} renders: November 2026

Note that the same date can be shown for up to a week on a page since Wikipedia caches pages and only re-renders them under one of the follow circumstances:

  1. Someone visits the page and it has not been re-rendered in a week;
  2. Someone visits the page and manually purges or edits it.

Don't do this yourself

The code for this template is not exactly trivial! {{#time:F Y|+1 month}} can fail near the end of some month:

  • {{#time:F Y|2000-01-29 +1 month}} → February 2000
  • {{#time:F Y|2001-01-29 +1 month}} → March 2001
  • {{#time:F Y|2026-05-31 +1 month}} → July 2026
  • {{#time:F Y|+1 month}} → December 2026
  • {{Monthyear+1}} → November 2026
