This template generates an abbreviation for circa: ਅੰ. By default the abbreviation is marked with an HTML <abbr> tag, which in most browsers renders as a tooltip when hovered.

Syntax What it looks like Notes
{{circa|1325}} ਅੰ. 1325 Default style: no line break allowed; thin space
{{circa|1325|lk=yes}} ਅੰ. 1325 Replace abbreviation tooltip with a link to Wiktionary instead
{{circa|1325|lk=no}} ਅੰ. 1325 No abbreviation tooltip at all
{{circa|1000|1050}} ਅੰ. 1000 – ਅੰ. 1050 For a range with both dates uncertain. No tooltip on the second instance of "c."
{{circa|1000–1050}} ਅੰ. 1000–1050 Another option for a range; but, per , prefer {{circa|1000|1050}}

Parameters

ਸੋਧੋ

Using the date itself as parameter (for example, "{{circa|1956}}", giving "ਅੰ. 1956"), web browsers do not insert a line break anywhere in the string. By contrast, "{{circa}} 1956" allows a line break between the "ਅੰ." and the number. Also, with the date as a parameter a thinner space is used with many browsers:

  • "ਅੰ. 1956" is generated by "{{circa|1956}}".
  • "ਅੰ. 1956" is generated by "{{circa}} 1956".

If the parameter |lk= (for "link") is set as "|lk=no" or "|lk=off", the abbreviation is rendered as "ਅੰ.", without a wikilink or abbreviation element. If it is absent, or set to "|lk=abbr", the abbreviation is rendered with the HTML <abbr> element. If it is set to "|lk=yes" or "|lk=on", it is rendered as "ਅੰ.", with a wikilink to the wikt:circa article in Wiktionary and not an abbreviation element. lk=no can be used to avoid overlinking when this template is used repeatedly in the body of an article. For example:

  • [[Dionysius Exiguus]] was born {{circa|470}}, lived in Rome from {{circa|lk=no|500}}, and died {{circa|lk=no|544}}.
    Dionysius Exiguus was born ਅੰ. 470, lived in Rome from ਅੰ. 500, and died ਅੰ. 544.

If the parameter "sortable=yes" is specified, the template generates invisible text that will cause the output to work in sortable tables, at the cost of adding those words (read-out, audibly) by many screen readers. The benefit is effective, clickable arrows as in "Col 2" below:

Title Col 1 Col 2
Foo 1066 1066
Bar ਅੰ. 1510 1510ਅੰ. 1510
Baz 1956 1956
Jaz ਅੰ. 410 410ਅੰ. 410
