2000s bug[edit]

This template appears to be broken for the years 2000-2459. Test cases:

input	result	comment
{{subst:YEAR\|September 4, 2426}}	2004	day+2000
{{subst:YEAR\|September 3, 2000}}	2003	day+2000
{{subst:YEAR\|September 8, 2459}}	2008	day+2000
{{subst:YEAR\|September 8, 2460}}	2460	...but 2460 and above is fine
{{subst:YEAR\|2000-09-03}}	2000	correct when in YYYY-MM-DD format
{{subst:YEAR\|September 3, 1999}}	1999	1999 and below is fine
{{subst:YEAR\|September 153, 2014}}	0153	looks like some kind of modulo issue

It looks like it's grabbing the day instead of the year for some reason. Is this a problem with this template, or with the #date parser function? Ibadibam (talk) 01:04, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Broken[edit]

This template appears to be broken. Testing it, {{year|October 15, 2020}} produces 2015, which is...not correct. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 04:35, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is the same bug as above. --Izno (talk) 05:09, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed by [1], hopefully without breaking any existing uses relying on the wrong check. PrimeHunter (talk) 08:54, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
