: For example, the following expression returns the number of full years elapsed between the [[fall of the Western Roman Empire]] on September 4, 476 AD, and the formation of the [[Italian Republic]] on June 2, 1946:
:: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|476|9|4|1946|6|2}}</code> returns "{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|476|9|4|1946|6|2}}"
:: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|476|9|4}}</code> returns "{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|476|9|4}}"

: When entering dates before the [[Common Era]], use astronomical year numbering: 1 BCE is represented by 0, 2 BCE by -1, 3 BCE by -2 etc. For example, the following expression returns the number of full years elapsed since the [[battle of Cannae]], which took place on August 2, 216 BCE:
:: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}|-215|8|2}}</code> returns "{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|-215|8|2}}"
: (BCE is exactly the same as BC, so August 2, 216 BCE is also August 2, 216 BC)
