This template takes a date string in yyyy/mm/dd format and stores it as a complex date property value using Template:SetDatePropertyValue. This whole headache is necessary to support incomplete date values with BC support.
The template will store up to four values:
{{{property|}}}- the combined date.{{{property|}}} Year- the year part.{{{property|}}} Month- the month part.{{{property|}}} Day- the day part.
NOTE: As any "set" template, it doesn't print anything on the page, but merely sets the appropriate values.
Parameters:
|property=- the name of the property.|datestring=- the date value in yyyy/mm/dd format. The month and day are optional. YYYY BC and YYYY BCE formats are allowed for BC years.
