Dependencies

Module:Complex_date relies on the following modules:

• Module:Calendar (lazy loading with no dependencies)
• Module:ISOdate
  • Module:DateI18n (no dependencies)
• Module:i18n/complex date
  • Module:Ordinal-cd (lazy loading)
    • Module:I18n/ordinal (no dependencies)
    • Module:Yesno (from en.wikipedia) (no dependencies)
    • Module:Formatnum (no dependencies)
  • Module:Roman-cd (lazy loading with no dependencies)
  • Module:Linguistic (lazy loading with no dependencies)

Several of the lazy-loaded dependencies do not exist locally since none of the code that calls them ever ends up used on the English Wikipedia.
