Year only[edit]

Since this is now in the default copy-paste for {{Infobox organization}}, it should handle the year only case, such as {{Start date and years ago|2002}}. --Apoc2400 (talk) 00:06, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I can't get it to only show a year. OlYeller ^Talktome 19:43, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Another "Me too" I'm afraid. Single year handling is a must for this template. - X201 (talk) 12:11, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That functionality is available in {{Start date}}; perhaps code can be adapted from there? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 12:41, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Month and year[edit]

Is there a version of this template that uses just month and year only? Would be useful for those cases in which month and day are known, but not year. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 04:59, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
