      • Exception is made for if |1= is declared in templatedata as existing and not being an alias for |date=.
    • If the date is an incorrect format (e.g. MDY, DMY, YMD), correct it to the Month Year format needed by the templates.
    • If all else fails, add the current Month Year as |date=
  • For {{multiple issues}} and redirects:
    • For each parameter besides "article", "section", "expert", "text", and numbered parameters, correct the date format or fill in the current date as above.
  • For {{as of}}, {{update after}}, and their redirects:
    • If a |date= exists, remove it or move it to |1= if necessary.
    • If |1= contains a recognizable date instead of having the date specified with year in 1, month in 2, and day in 3, correct it. Supply the current year if necessary.
    • If no date is found or |1= is "today", "now", or certain other keywords, add the current date.
  • For {{disambiguation}} and its redirects:
