There's an editor in the radio field who is removing microformat start and end dates from infoboxes in order that they may link a "year in radio" article, e.g. "December 5, 1969". Is it possible to wikilink to such an article within the context of {{ start date}} or {{ end date}}? (See User talk:Stereorock#Microformats) Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 02:25, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
Just to clarify what the documentation states: should this template only be used in infoboxes and only once in such templates? I've come across quite a few uses in Template:Singles, which is added to and embedded in Template:Infobox album. Much like Template:Duration, it appears some editors believe any instance of a date in templates (and sometimes outside of them) should be formatted with this template and I'm clarifying that we should still abide by the documentation for only using it once in an infobox and not outside of them. Ping Pigsonthewing as the creator of this template. (Apologies if this "should be obvious" or is considered a silly question, and I'm aware Template:Singles states, under "Single # date", "Do not use the Start date template in this field", but I've recently come across editors who still actively use this template more than once outside of an infobox, even after I explained this to them.)

Any use of this template outside another, microformat-emitting, template is pointless. However not all microformat-emitting, templates are infoboxes. for instance, this template can be used in {{ Timeline-event}} . Similarly, any use after the first instance in a microformat-emitting template is ignored. If the documentation states "Do not use the Start date template in this field", then it is a fair bet that editors should not use the Start date template in the field. THis template;s documentation opens with (emboldening in original):
This purpose of the {{ start date}} template is to return the date (or date-time) that an event or entity started or was created, and to do so in a standard format. It also includes duplicate, machine-readable date (or date-time) in the ISO date format (which is hidden by CSS), for use inside other templates (or table rows) which emit microformats. It should be used only once in each such template and never used outside such templates. The hidden date degrades gracefully when CSS is not available.
