The following is an explanation of each parameter:
{{Start date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|df=yes/no}}
. (See Template:Start date and age/doc for details.){{Start date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|df=yes/no}}
.{{End date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|df=yes/no}}
.All fields, except 'name', are optional
The numbered attributes mean that there is allowance for multiples. The via
attributes range from via1_1
to via4_9
where the first number corresponds to the appropriate connection number and the second number is the position in that connections 'via' list. For each connection (via_1, via_2, via_3 or via_4), there can be up to 9 connectors, via#_1 through via#_9.
