Wikipedia start date <= accessdate < today + 2 days

Wikipedia start date is 2001-01-15T00:00:00 UTC which is 979516800 seconds after 1970-01-01T00:00:00 UTC (the start of Unix time)

accessdate is the date provided in |accessdate= at time 00:00:00 UTC

today is the current date at time 00:00:00 UTC plus 48 hours

if today is 2015-01-01T00:00:00 then

adding 24 hours gives 2015-01-02T00:00:00 – one second more than today

This function does not work if it is fed month names for languages other than English. Wikimedia #time: parser

apparently doesn't understand non-English date month names. This function will always return false when the date

contains a non-English month name because good1 is false after the call to lang.formatDate(). To get around that

call this function with YYYY-MM-DD format dates.

This function receives a table of date parts for one or two dates and an empty table reference declared in

Module:Citation/CS1. The function is called only for |date= parameters and only if the |date= is

determined to be a valid date format. The question of what to do with invalid date formats is not answered here.

The date parts in the input table are converted to an ISO 8601 conforming date string:

single whole dates: yyyy-mm-dd

month and year dates: yyyy-mm

year dates: yyyy

ranges: yyyy-mm-dd/yyyy-mm-dd

yyyy-mm/yyyy-mm

yyyy/yyyy

Dates in the Julian calendar are reduced to year or year/year so that we don't have to do calendar conversion from

Julian to Proleptic Gregorian.

The input table has:

year, year2 – always present; if before 1582, ignore months and days if present

month, month2 – 0 if not provided, 1-12 for months, 21-24 for seasons; 99 Christmas

day, day2 – 0 if not provided, 1-31 for days

the output table receives:

rftdate: an IS8601 formatted date

rftchron: a free-form version of the date, usually without year which is in rftdate (season ranges and proper-name dates)

rftssn: one of four season keywords: winter, spring, summer, fall (lowercase)

rftquarter: one of four values: 1, 2, 3, 4

this is the list of patterns for date formats that this module recognizes. Approximately the first half of these

patterns represent formats that might be reformatted into another format. Those that might be reformatted have

'indicator' letters that identify the content of the matching capture: 'd' (day), 'm' (month), 'a' (anchor year),

'y' (year); second day, month, year have a '2' suffix.

These patterns are used for both date validation and for reformatting. This table should not be moved to ~/Configuration

because changes to this table require changes to check_date() and to reformatter() and reformat_date()

Check date format to see that it is one of the formats approved by WP:DATESNO or WP:DATERANGE. Exception: only

allowed range separator is endash. Additionally, check the date to see that it is a real date: no 31 in 30-day

months; no 29 February when not a leap year. Months, both long-form and three character abbreviations, and seasons

must be spelled correctly. Future years beyond next year are not allowed.

If the date fails the format tests, this function returns false and does not return values for anchor_year and

COinS_date. When this happens, the date parameter is used in the COinS metadata and the CITEREF identifier gets

its year from the year parameter if present otherwise CITEREF does not get a date value.

Inputs:

date_string - date string from date-holding parameters (date, year, accessdate, embargo, archivedate, etc.)

Returns:

false if date string is not a real date; else

true, anchor_year, COinS_date

anchor_year can be used in CITEREF anchors

COinS_date is ISO 8601 format date; see make_COInS_date()

reformat 'date' into new format specified by format_param if pattern_idx (the current format of 'date') can be

reformatted. Does the grunt work for reformat_dates().

The table re_formats maps patern_idx (current format) and format_param (desired format) to a table that holds:

format string used by string.format()

identifier letters ('d', 'm', 'y', 'd2', 'm2', 'y2') that serve as indexes into a table t{} that holds captures

from mw.ustring.match() for the various date parts specified by patterns[pattern_idx][1]

Items in patterns{} have the general form:

['ymd'] = {'^(%d%d%d%d)%-(%d%d)%-(%d%d)$', 'y', 'm', 'd'}, where:

['ymd'] is pattern_idx

patterns['ymd'][1] is the match pattern with captures for mw.ustring.match()

patterns['ymd'][2] is an indicator letter identifying the content of the first capture

patterns['ymd'][3] ... the second capture etc

when a pattern matches a date, the captures are loaded into table t{} in capture order using the idemtifier

characters as indexes into t{} For the above, a ymd date is in t{} as:

t.y = first capture (year), t.m = second capture (month), t.d = third capture (day)

To reformat, this function is called with the pattern_idx that matches the current format of the date and with

format_param set to the desired format. This function loads table t{} as described and then calls string.format()

with the format string specified by re_format[pattern_idx][format_param][1] using values taken from t{} according

to the capture identifier letters specified by patterns[pattern_idx][format_param][n] where n is 2..

Reformats existing dates into the format specified by format.

format is one of several manual keywords: dmy, dmy-all, mdy, mdy-all, ymd, ymd-all. The -all version includes

access- and archive-dates; otherwise these dates are not reformatted.

This function allows automatic date formatting. In ~/Configuration, the article source is searched for one of

the {{use xxx dates}} templates. If found, xxx becomes the global date format as xxx-all. If |cs1-dates= in

{{use xxx dates}} has legitimate value then that value determines how cs1|2 dates will be rendered. Legitimate

values for |cs1-dates= are:

l - all dates are rendered with long month names

ls - publication dates use long month names; access-/archive-dates use abbreviated month names

ly - publication dates use long month names; access-/archive-dates rendered in ymd format

s - all dates are rendered with abbreviated (short) month names

sy - publication dates use abbreviated month names; access-/archive-dates rendered in ymd format

y - all dates are rendered in ymd format

the format argument for automatic date formatting will be the format specified by {{use xxx dates}} with the

value supplied by |cs1-dates so one of: xxx-l, xxx-ls, xxx-ly, xxx-s, xxx-sy, xxx-y, or simply xxx (|cs1-dates=

empty, omitted, or invalid) where xxx shall be either of dmy or mdy.

dates are extracted from date_parameters_list, reformatted (if appropriate), and then written back into the

list in the new format. Dates in date_parameters_list are presumed here to be valid (no errors). This function

returns true when a date has been reformatted, false else. Actual reformatting is done by reformatter().
