Template:NHL Year
Usage
changeUse this template to link to "NHL season" articles from a particular year. The first parameter is the starting year of the season. By default, the template displays text in the form "yyyy–yy"; except for the 1999–2000 season, which is in the form "yyyy–yyyy" to comply with WP:YEAR: "A closing CE/AD year is normally written with two digits (1881–86) unless it is in a different century from that of the opening year (1881–1986)" (as of April 2009).
A second parameter may be used if only one year is to be displayed (does not work if nolink is passed in).
{{nhly|...}} is the other name of this template.
Named parameters
changePassing in any non-empty text will produce the same result, so as a matter of style, only pass in "y" (without quotes).
- nolink
- Text must not be linked.
- full
- Text must be in "yyyy–yyyy" format.
- trunc
- The 1999–2000 season is to be displayed as "1999–00" instead of "1999–2000".
