---

Takes a calendar date in ISO 8601 extended format in the form YYYY-MM-DD (e.g. "2026-08-22"), with or without time, and hands it over to {{Date}} to display it in localised format. This template is needed to catch some flaws of the automatic conversion by {{#time: }} for non-full dates (e.g. "77-09" for September 77 AD, which would throw an error with {{#time: }})

Usage

{{ISOdate |1= |2= |f= |form= }}
