  1. Template:Start date

Template:Start date is a MediaWiki template designed to display a date in a standardized, human-readable format, particularly useful for indicating the start date of events, projects, or periods within a wiki. This article provides a comprehensive guide to understanding, using, and customizing the `Template:Start date` template for beginners. It will cover its purpose, parameters, examples, potential issues, and related templates. This template is invaluable for maintaining consistency when documenting timelines and historical data.

Purpose

The primary purpose of `Template:Start date` is to consistently format dates across a wiki. Without a standardized template, dates might appear in various formats (e.g., January 1, 2023, 1/1/2023, 2023-01-01), leading to visual clutter and potential confusion. This template ensures that all start dates are displayed in a uniform manner, enhancing readability and professionalism. It’s particularly useful for projects that involve tracking timelines, historical events, or scheduled activities. Effective date formatting is crucial for data integrity and usability, especially when dealing with Time series analysis.

Basic Usage

The simplest way to use the template is to provide a date in YYYY-MM-DD format. The template will then automatically format it into a more readable format, typically "January 1, 2023".

```wiki Template loop detected: Template:Start date ```

This will output:

January 1, 2023

Parameters

The `Template:Start date` template accepts several parameters to customize the output. Here's a breakdown of each parameter:

  • 1 (Date): This is the *required* parameter. It represents the start date in YYYY-MM-DD format. For example, `2023-12-25` represents December 25, 2023. Incorrectly formatted dates will likely result in errors or unexpected output.
  • format: (Optional) This parameter allows you to specify a custom date format using PHP's `date()` function format codes. This provides a high degree of flexibility. For example, `format=d.m.Y` would output "25.12.2023". Refer to the PHP date() function documentation for a complete list of format codes. Using custom formats requires a good understanding of these codes.
  • month: (Optional) This parameter allows you to explicitly specify the month name. This is useful if you want to override the template's automatic month detection, perhaps for localization or specific stylistic requirements. Accepts the month name as a string (e.g., `month=December`).
  • day: (Optional) This parameter allows you to explicitly specify the day of the month. Similar to 'month', this overrides the template's automatic day detection. Accepts the day as a string (e.g., `day=25`).
  • year: (Optional) This parameter allows you to explicitly specify the year. Overrides the template's automatic year detection. Accepts the year as a string (e.g., `year=2023`).
  • hideyear: (Optional) A boolean parameter (true/false) that controls whether the year is displayed. If set to `true`, the year will be omitted. Default is `false` (year is displayed). Example: `hideyear=true`. This can be useful when the context clearly implies the year.
  • showfullmonth: (Optional) A boolean parameter (true/false) that determines whether the full month name is displayed. If set to `true`, "January" will be displayed instead of "Jan". Default is `false`. Example: `showfullmonth=true`.
  • link: (Optional) A boolean parameter (true/false) that determines whether the date is linked to a corresponding page (e.g., a page for that specific date). Default is `false`. Example: `link=true`. This is helpful for creating navigable timelines.
  • separator: (Optional) Allows you to change the separator character between the day, month and year. Default is a comma and a space (", "). Example: `separator=.` will output the date with a period as a separator.

Examples

Here are some examples demonstrating how to use the template with different parameters:

  • Basic Usage:
   ```wiki
   Template loop detected: Template:Start date
   ```
   Output: March 15, 2024
  • Custom Format:
   ```wiki
   Template loop detected: Template:Start date
   ```
   Output: 15/03/2024
  • Hiding the Year:
   ```wiki
   Template loop detected: Template:Start date
   ```
   Output: March 15
  • Showing the Full Month Name:
   ```wiki
   Template loop detected: Template:Start date
   ```
   Output: March 15, 2024 (No change in this case, as the default behaviour is often to use the full month name)
  • Linking the Date:
   ```wiki
   Template loop detected: Template:Start date
   ```
   Output: March 15, 2024 (Assuming a page exists for "March 15, 2024")
  • Combining Parameters:
   ```wiki
   Template loop detected: Template:Start date
   ```
   Output: March 15, 2024 (The format parameter will be overridden by hideyear)
  • Using a custom separator:
   ```wiki
   Template loop detected: Template:Start date
   ```
   Output: March.15.2024

Potential Issues and Troubleshooting

  • Incorrect Date Format: The most common issue is providing the date in a format other than YYYY-MM-DD. Ensure the date is entered correctly.
  • Invalid Format Codes: If using the `format` parameter, ensure the format codes are valid PHP `date()` function codes. Incorrect codes will result in errors or unexpected output. Consult the PHP date() function documentation.
  • Missing Pages for Linked Dates: If the `link` parameter is set to `true`, but the corresponding date page does not exist, the output will be a red link. Create the page to resolve this.
  • Template Conflicts: Rarely, conflicts can occur if other templates or extensions modify the output of this template. If this happens, investigate the interaction between the templates and extensions.
  • Localization: The default output is in English. For wikis using other languages, consider using the `month` parameter to specify the month name in the desired language or exploring localization extensions. This is related to Localization strategies.

Related Templates

Several other templates complement `Template:Start date` and provide related functionality:

  • Template:End date: Displays an end date in a standardized format. Often used in conjunction with `Template:Start date` to define a period.
  • Template:Duration: Calculates and displays the duration between a start and end date.
  • Template:Date: A more general-purpose date formatting template, offering more options than `Template:Start date`.
  • Template:Now: Displays the current date and time.
  • Template:Age: Calculates and displays the age based on a birth date.
  • Template:Timeline: Creates visual timelines based on a series of dates.
  • Template:Event timeline: Similar to timeline, but optimized for event-based timelines.
  • Template:Year: Displays only the year from a given date.
  • Template:Month: Displays only the month from a given date.
  • Template:Day: Displays only the day from a given date.

Advanced Usage and Customization

For more advanced users, the `Template:Start date` template can be extended and customized through the use of parser functions and Lua modules. This allows for more complex date calculations, conditional formatting, and integration with other wiki features. For example, you could use parser functions to dynamically determine whether a date falls within a specific range or to display different text based on the date. This involves a deeper understanding of MediaWiki's template system and programming languages like Lua. Consider studying MediaWiki extension development for more complex customizations.

Best Practices

  • Consistency: Always use `Template:Start date` (or a similar standardized template) for all start dates in your wiki.
  • YYYY-MM-DD Format: Provide the date in YYYY-MM-DD format to ensure correct parsing.
  • Use Parameters Wisely: Only use the optional parameters when necessary to customize the output. Avoid unnecessary complexity.
  • Test Thoroughly: After making changes to the template or its usage, test thoroughly to ensure the output is as expected.
  • Document Your Changes: If you modify the template, document your changes clearly for future maintainers.
  • Consider Accessibility: Ensure the date format is accessible to users with disabilities. Use clear and concise language.
  • Understand Date Interpretation: Be mindful of regional differences in date interpretation (e.g., MM/DD/YYYY vs. DD/MM/YYYY) and choose a format that is unambiguous for your target audience. This is relevant to Global market analysis.

Elon Reeve Musk (born June 28, 1971) is a South Africa-born American entrepreneur and business magnate. He is the founder, CEO, CTO, and chief engineer of SpaceX; angel investor, CEO, product architect and former chairman of Tesla, Inc.; owner, chairman, CTO, and chairman of X Corp. (formerly Twitter); founder of The Boring Company; and co-founder of Neuralink and OpenAI. Musk is widely considered one of the most influential and controversial figures in the 21st century.

Early Life and Education

Musk was born in Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa, to Errol Musk, a South African electromechanical engineer, pilot, sailor, and property developer, and Maye Musk, a Canadian-South African model and dietitian. He has a younger brother, Kimbal, and a younger sister, Tosca. His childhood was marked by a passion for computers and science fiction. He taught himself computer programming at the age of nine and sold his first software, a video game called Blastar, at age 12 for $500.

He attended Waterkloof House Preparatory School and later Pretoria Boys High School. Musk was bullied during his childhood and struggled with social interactions. He emigrated to Canada at age 17, avoiding mandatory military service in South Africa. He enrolled at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, before transferring to the University of Pennsylvania in 1992, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics and a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from the Wharton School. He remained at the University of Pennsylvania for one additional year and began his graduate studies in applied physics but dropped out to pursue an entrepreneurial career. This decision reflects his early drive and willingness to take risks, traits that would define his future ventures. He later moved to California in 1995 to pursue a PhD in applied physics at Stanford University, but he left after just two days to focus on the burgeoning internet industry.

Early Career and Zip2

In 1995, Musk co-founded Zip2 Corporation with his brother Kimbal. Zip2 was a web software company that provided city guide software to newspapers. Musk secured funding from angel investors and played a key role in the company's development. He initially served as the company's CEO and product architect. Zip2 faced significant challenges in its early years, including financial difficulties and disagreements among the founders. Despite these hurdles, Zip2 eventually gained traction, partnering with major newspapers like the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune. In 1999, Compaq acquired Zip2 for $307 million in cash and $34 million in stock options. Musk's share of the sale was approximately $22 million, providing him with the capital to pursue his next venture. This sale demonstrated his ability to identify market opportunities and build successful businesses. Understanding market capitalization and due diligence were crucial in this process.

X.com and PayPal

With the funds from the Zip2 sale, Musk co-founded X.com, an online financial services and email payment company, in March 1999. X.com aimed to revolutionize the financial industry by offering a comprehensive online banking platform. In 2000, X.com merged with Confinity, a company founded by Peter Thiel and Max Levchin, which had a money-transfer service called PayPal. The merged company initially retained the X.com name, but later rebranded as PayPal in 2001. Musk was briefly ousted as CEO in favor of Thiel, but remained as a significant shareholder. He played a critical role in shaping PayPal's strategy and product development. In 2002, eBay acquired PayPal for $1.5 billion in stock. Musk received approximately $180 million from the sale. This transaction further solidified his reputation as a successful entrepreneur and provided him with the resources to pursue his more ambitious and technologically challenging endeavors. Financial modeling and valuation techniques were essential for assessing the viability of the merger and acquisition.

SpaceX

In 2002, Musk founded Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX), with the overarching goal of reducing space transportation costs to enable the colonization of Mars. He invested a significant portion of his wealth from the PayPal sale into the company. SpaceX faced numerous setbacks in its early years, including three failed launch attempts of its Falcon 1 rocket. Many doubted the company's viability, but Musk persevered, making significant engineering improvements and securing crucial funding.

In 2008, the Falcon 1 became the first privately developed liquid-fueled rocket to reach orbit. This milestone was a turning point for SpaceX, demonstrating its technological capabilities and attracting further investment. In 2012, the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft became the first commercial spacecraft to dock with the International Space Station (ISS). SpaceX has since secured numerous contracts with NASA and other government agencies to launch satellites and deliver cargo to the ISS.

SpaceX is also developing Starship, a fully reusable super heavy-lift launch vehicle designed to transport humans and cargo to Mars and beyond. The development of Starship has faced challenges, including testing failures, but Musk remains optimistic about its potential. SpaceX’s innovations in rocket propulsion, orbital mechanics, and materials science are reshaping the space industry. The company utilizes Six Sigma methodologies to improve reliability and reduce costs. Understanding risk management is critical in the high-stakes world of space exploration. The potential for disruptive innovation in the space sector is immense, and SpaceX is at the forefront of this movement. Analyzing Porter's Five Forces provides insight into the competitive landscape.

Tesla, Inc.

In 2004, Musk became an early investor in Tesla Motors (later renamed Tesla, Inc.), an electric vehicle manufacturer. He initially invested $30 million and became chairman of the board. Tesla’s mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. Musk took on a more active role in Tesla in 2008, becoming CEO and product architect.

Under Musk's leadership, Tesla developed and launched the Roadster, its first electric sports car, in 2008. The Roadster demonstrated the potential of electric vehicles, but faced production challenges and was expensive. Tesla subsequently launched the Model S, a luxury electric sedan, in 2012, which received critical acclaim and helped establish Tesla as a major player in the automotive industry.

Tesla followed up with the Model X, an electric SUV, in 2015, and the Model 3, a more affordable electric sedan, in 2017. The Model 3 became Tesla’s best-selling vehicle, significantly increasing the company’s production volume and market share. Tesla also introduced the Model Y, a compact electric SUV, and the Cybertruck, an electric pickup truck.

Tesla has also invested heavily in battery technology, energy storage systems (Powerwall and Powerpack), and solar energy products (Solar Roof and Solar Panels). The company’s supply chain management and lean manufacturing processes are crucial to its success. Analyzing SWOT analysis reveals Tesla's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Understanding electric vehicle trends is vital for investors. The company's aggressive growth strategy and reliance on venture capital have also been subjects of scrutiny. Tesla’s impact on the automotive industry has been profound, driving the adoption of electric vehicles and challenging traditional automakers. Analysis of technical indicators like moving averages and RSI can provide insights into Tesla's stock performance. The concept of economies of scale is particularly relevant to Tesla's manufacturing processes.

The Boring Company

In 2016, Musk founded The Boring Company, an infrastructure and tunnel construction services company. The company aims to alleviate traffic congestion by building a network of underground tunnels for high-speed transportation. The Boring Company’s first project was a proof-of-concept tunnel in Hawthorne, California. The company has since secured contracts to build tunnels in Las Vegas and other cities. The Boring Company has also developed a prototype electric vehicle called the Prufrock, designed to navigate its tunnels. The success of The Boring Company relies on innovation in tunneling technology and infrastructure development. Applying project management principles is essential for delivering these complex projects. The company's business model is based on reducing the cost and improving the speed of tunnel construction. The concept of network effects applies to the potential benefits of a widespread tunnel network.

Musk has stated his goal is to transform X into an “everything app,” offering a wide range of services beyond social networking. The changes have been met with mixed reactions, with some praising Musk's efforts to promote free speech and innovation, while others criticizing his management style and the impact on the platform's reliability and safety. Analyzing user engagement metrics and social media trends is crucial for understanding the impact of these changes.
