== Date == The <code>date</code> function outputs a random date. {{#invoke:random|date|''timestamp1''|''timestamp2''|format=''date format''|same=''yes''}} * If no timestamp arguments are specified, the module outputs a random date in the current year. * If <code>''timestamp1''</code> and <code>''timestamp2''</code> are specified, the module outputs a random date between the two timestamps. <code>''timestamp1''</code> must be earlier than <code>''timestamp2''</code>. * If only <code>''timestamp1''</code>is specified, the module outputs a random date between the [[Unix epoch]] (1 Jan 1970) and the timestamp. <code>''timestamp1''</code> must not be earlier than 1 Jan 1970. * Formatting can be specified with the {{para|format}} parameter. The default formatting is "hh:mm, DD Month YYYY (UTC)" (the same as the default Wikipedia timestamp). * The timestamps and the {{para|format}} parameter accept values compatible with the [[mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions##time|#time parser function]]. Please see the #time documentation for the full range of possible input values and formatting options. * If the {{para|same}} parameter is set to "yes", "y", "true", or "1", the same date is returned for each module call on a given page. '''Examples''' <small>({{purge|refresh|anchor=Date}})</small> * <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:random|date}}</nowiki></code> → {{#invoke:random|date}} * <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:random|date|format=F j}}</nowiki></code> → {{#invoke:random|date|format=F j}} * <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:random|date|1 Jan 1980|31 Dec 1999}}</nowiki></code> → {{#invoke:random|date|1 Jan 1980|31 Dec 1999}} * <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:random|date|1st January 1500|1st January 3000|format=g:i a, l d M Y}}</nowiki></code> → {{#invoke:random|date|1st January 1500|1st January 3000|format=g:i a, l d M Y}} * <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:random|date|1970/06/01}}</nowiki></code> → {{#invoke:random|date|1970/06/01}} * <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:random|date|same=yes}}</nowiki></code> → {{#invoke:random|date|same=yes}} * <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:random|date|same=yes}}</nowiki></code> → {{#invoke:random|date|same=yes}}
