Template:Period span/sandbox
 | __EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__This is the template sandbox page for Template:Period span (diff). |
Usage
Simply use <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{Period span}}: Error! the period you specified has not been recognised! This could be because you mis-spelt it, or because it is missing from Template:Next period or Template:Period start.</syntaxhighlight>
- Example
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">298.9 million years ago to 251.902 million years ago</syntaxhighlight>
- Gives
298.9 million years ago to 251.902 million years ago
In development
The |round= parameter will round off the number to that many decimal places. It doesn't currently round the error margins; to omit these, use {{period span/brief}}.
Errors
If this template generates an expression error, it is because the period is missing from {{next period}} or {{period start}}. Please go ahead and add it in the appropriate place (once you've checked your spelling!).
You must also add the period to {{period start error}}, which contains the errors shown after the ± in the output of this template.
