Template:Monthyear-1
April 2024
The {{Monthyear-1}} template takes no parameters and returns the name of the month and the year as they were a month ago, like this:
{{Monthyear-1}}renders: April 2024
Note that the same date can be shown for up to a week on a page since Wikipedia caches pages and only re-renders them under one of the follow circumstances:
- Someone visits the page and it has not been re-rendered in a week;
- Someone visits the page and manually purges or edits it.
