Broken?

[edit]

I've been trying to get this template to do what the documentation says it does, without success. Regardless of what I enter, I always get the current date. Additionally, once the template is subst'd, it creates comment markers and line breaks, which take up a lot of vertical space. Am I doing something wrong? Or does the template not do what it says it does?

Help? —D'Ranged 1 talk 23:01, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The documentation implied that the template takes parameters, in fact it doesn't - and as far as I can tell, it never has. Accordingly, I removed all mention of params from the documentation. The comment markers and line breaks are cosmetically bad in the wikitext, but don't seem to cause any harm in the rendered page. --Redrose64 (talk) 23:42, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
