![]() | This template is used on approximately 11,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
![]() | This template uses Lua: |
Extracts from a page title the name of a month (January, February, March etc). Returns nothing if there is no match.
Note that the monthname in the title must be properly capitalised. "October" will be matched, but "october" or "OCTOBER" will be ignored.
Some options allow its behaviour to be configured.
{{
Title monthname}}
This usage will return the first word in the title which matches the correctly-capitalised name of a month.
If no match is found, it returns an empty string. This allows its simple use in templates, e.g.
{{#if: {{Title monthname}}|<!-- do nothing if there is a match -->|This page's title does not include a month}}
Three optional parameters are available:
|page=value
|nomatch=value
{{Title monthname|page=All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace}}
→{{Title monthname|page=All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace|nomatch=No month!}}

{{Title monthname|page=Events in June, July, or August|match=3}}
→ August{{Title monthname|page=Riots in February, March, April, May, June, or July (and maybe November)|match=-2}}
→ JulyTemplateData for Title monthname
Extracts a 3- or 4-digit year from the current page title. All parameters are optional.
Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Match Instance | match | If multiple monthnames are found, this specifies which match to return, where the first match is match= 1. If a negative number is specified then a match is returned counting from the last match. Hence match = -1 is the same as requesting the last match. Defaults to 1.
| Number | optional |
No match text | nomatch | If no monthname is found, output the "nomatch" value. Defaults to blank. | String | optional |
Override page title | page | Specified a page title to use other than the current page. If left blank, the template will use the title of the current page
| Page name | optional |
