Template documentation | This template uses Lua: |
 | This template is used on approximately 100,000 pages, so changes to it will be widely noticed. Please test any changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Please consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage[edit source]
{{Ordinal|integer}}
This template will add the appropriate ordinal indicator to a given integer.
Use {{Ordinal|integer|sup=yes}} to display the ordinal suffix in superscript. Do not use superscript notation in the article space, per this section of the Manual of Style.
For an integer ending in 1, 2 or 3 (except for integers ending in 11, 12 or 13), the ordinal suffix will be -st, -nd and -rd, respectively. To display -d for the ordinal suffix rather than -nd and -rd, use {{Ordinal|integer|d}}.
This template should not be used in running prose in articles; it is intended for automated script processing of numeric data. Writing something like "in the {{ordinal|16}} century" serves no purpose, and just makes the wikicode harder to understand and edit.
