{{extract|2004-04-03|add=5.75d}} → 18:00 8 ਅਪ੍ਰੈਲ 2004 (years and months are integer only)
Fix
By default, the date entered must be valid. If fix=on is used, units which are too large are "fixed". For example, 26 hours would be regarded as 1 day and 2 hours.
Entering a day as zero is regarded as the previous day (the last day of the previous month). The day before the previous day would be indicated with -1.
Similarly, entering a month as zero goes back one month, and entering -1 goes back two months.
Examples:
{{extract|2001|5|31|fix=on}} → 31 ਮਈ 2001 (no fix is required)
{{extract|2001|5|0|fix=on}} → 30 ਅਪ੍ਰੈਲ 2001
{{extract|2001|5|-1|fix=on}} → 29 ਅਪ੍ਰੈਲ 2001
{{extract|2001|125|-1000|fix=on}} → 3 ਅਗਸਤ 2008
{{extract|2001|0|12|fix=on}} → 12 ਦਸੰਬਰ 2000
{{extract|2016|3|0|fix=on}} → 29 ਫਰਵਰੀ 2016
The following shows how to get the date for a given year and day-of-year. For example, June 30, 2001 is day 181 in the year 2001, as can be seen by adding 181 days to the date just before January 1, 2001.
{{extract|June 30, 2001|show=dayofyear}} → 181 (date to day-of-year)
{{extract|2001|1|0|fix=on|add=181d|show=mdy}} → ਜੂਨ 30, 2001 (day-of-year to date)
Partial
If partial=on is used, the date may consist of a year only, or a year and month only. Addition is not supported for a partial date.
{{extract|2001|5|partial=on}} → ਮਈ 2001
{{extract|2016|partial=on|show=isleapyear}} → 1

Examples:
{{extract|1 Feb 2001}} → 1 ਫਰਵਰੀ 2001
{{extract|FEB 1 2001}} → 1 ਫਰਵਰੀ 2001
{{extract|2001-2-1}} → 1 ਫਰਵਰੀ 2001
{{extract|1 Feb 2001|show=format}} → dmy
{{extract|FEB 1 2001|show=format}} → mdy
{{extract|2001-2-1|show=format}} → ymd
{{extract|2001-2-29|show=format}} → error
{{extract|1 Feb 2001|show=mdy}} → ਫਰਵਰੀ 1, 2001
{{extract|1 Feb 2001|show=ymd}} → 2001-02-01
{{extract|June 30, 2001|show=dayname}} → Saturday
{{extract|June 30, 2001|show=dayofyear}} → 181
{{extract|2001-2-1|show=monthname}} → ਫਰਵਰੀ
{{extract|2001-2-1|show=a %{dayname} in %{monthname} }} → a Thursday in ਫਰਵਰੀ
Some show options will not produce a useful result with a partial date, for example:
Insert a sort key using table syntax data-sort-value="value"|.
sortable=debug
Same as sortable=on but the sort key is displayed for testing.
The sort key is calculated from the juliandate value. For a partial date such as May 2016, the first day in the range is used (1 May 2016).
If wanted, show=hide can be used so the date is not displayed.
The prefix parameter allows the insertion of text that will not interfere with sorting. For example, {{extract|500 BC|prefix=c.|partial=on|sortable=on}} outputs a hidden sort key followed by "c. 500 BC".
