This template is used on approximately 2,500 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 displays either a yearly or monthly calendar (from 1970–2037). If you need a feature that isn't on this template, consider {{ISOCALENDAR}}, or maybe Module:Calendar widget.

year: The parameter year sets the year of the calendar the default being the current year.

format: To start the week on Monday use either format=Mon1st or, to include ISO week numbers, format=iso. The keywords are case-sensitive.
