For coders

Note:
This template is not intended to be used directly by editors; if you are looking for documentation on a template like {{births by year}}, see For editors above. Currently, the following templates use this system:

• {{births by year}}
• {{deaths by year}}
• {{works by year}}

Usage

This template is used as part of specific templates like {{deaths by year}} to generate lists of dated categories (century, decades, years). It deduces the depth from how much information is provided. The code below is standard (change values as appropriate):

{{categories by date
 |century = {{{century|}}}
 |decade  = {{{decade|}}}
 |year    = {{{year|}}}
 |era     = {{{era|}}}
 |bce     = {{{bce|}}}
 |caption = Plays published
 |name    = plays
 |supercatname = works
 |century-hyphen = true
 |supercat-century-hyphen = false
}}

• century, decade, year: The date split into century, decade, and year digits.
• caption: The text used as part of the category description (for example, "{caption} in the year 1986").
• name: The text used in the categories (for example, [[Category:1986 {name}]]).
• bce: set to true to add "BCE" to the category names.
• era: set to BCE to add "BCE" to the category names.
• supercatname: optional; use if there is a parent category that also categorizes by date.
• century-hyphen: optional; set to true if the century categories use a hyphen (for example, [[Category:10th-century plays]]).
• supercat-century-hyphen: optional; set to true if the century categories for the parent category use a hyphen (for example, [[Category:10th-century plays]]).
