The documentation says that the lc parameter gives lower case for any value of the parameter, but what is confusing is that it gives lower case even without a value.

See the following examples:

• {{As of|2019|02|24|lc=y}} as of 24 February 2019^[update]

• {{As of|2019|02|24|lc=}} As of 24 February 2019^[update]

• {{As of|2019|02|24}} As of 24 February 2019^[update]

That is confusing, having two default parameters. Could we have a quicker way to set the case? I'm thinking {{ASOF|2018}} and {{asof|2018}} as aliases.HLHJ (talk)23:43, 19 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would still really like this functionality. I try to put a sentence's core info first, and "as of X" is usually supplementary info the reader doesn't care about, or understand the meaning of, until they know what the main fact is. So I usually put it last, and typing "|lc=y" is a pain. Does anyone have objections?

Separately, "as of mid-March" (late, early) also returns an error.HLHJ (talk)19:19, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I ask without judgment because I know next-to-nothing about template programming, but why doesn't{{as of}} check for atime and date maintenance template (e.g.{{use mdy dates}}) for automatic formatting of the date (similar to citation templates)? —Fourthords |=Λ= |15:55, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just came here to ask the same thing.

{{Use mdy dates}} tags pages with a maintenance category, and templates can modify behavior depending on page categories (see e.g.{{if in category}}), so it should be possible. The categories are parameterized by month (Category:Use mdy dates from October 2024 instead of justCategory:Use mdy dates), so it'd probably require some custom Lua, or additions toModule:If in category to optionally walk the category tree.DefaultFree (talk)21:55, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@RodRabelo7: Is there a specific reason for this change? Is it for consistency with another template? or was it discussed somewhere?Est. 2021 (talk ·contribs)04:43, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
