Template:Vertically aligned date

Template documentation

This template is used on many pages.

To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this template should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit.

Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Usage

This template can be used to control the width of an item's prefix in a vertical list. Although most applicable to lists sorted by date, the template technically can be used to control the width of any text, since it's basically a span tag wrapped in a template.
