• {{deaths by year}}
• {{works by year}}
• {{plays by year}}
• {{Thai law by year}}

Parameters

This template is used as part of specific templates to generate lists of dated categories (century, decades, years). It deduces the depth from how much information is provided. The code below is standard (change values as appropriate):

{{categories by date
 |century = {{{century|}}}
 |decade  = {{{decade|}}}
 |year    = {{{year|}}}
 |era     = {{{era|}}}
 |bce     = {{{bce|}}}
 |caption = Thai law in
 |name    = in Thai law
 |parent-category = Thai law by year
 |parent-category-display = 
 |by-date-category = Thai law by year
 |supercatname = works
 |century-hyphen = false
 |supercat-century-hyphen = false
}}<noinclude>{{documentation|Template:Categories by date/doc}}</noinclude>

• Pass-through parameters:
  • century, decade, year: The date split into century, decade, and year digits.
  • bce: set to true to add "BCE" to the category names.
  • era: set to BCE to add "BCE" to the category names.
• caption: The text used as part of the category description (for example, "{caption} in the year 1986").
• name: The text used in the categories (for example, [[Category:1986 {name}]]).
• parent-category: optional; defaults to the category at the previous level of granularity (for example, the parent category for Category:1910s plays is Category:20th-century plays).
• parent-category-display: optional; defaults to the name of the parent category.
• by-date-category: optional; defaults to [[Category:{name} by {granularity}]] (for example, Category:1910s plays is in Category:Plays by decade).
• supercatname: optional; use if there is a parent category that also categorizes by date.
• century-hyphen: optional; set to true if the century categories use a hyphen (for example, Category:10th-century plays).
• supercat-century-hyphen: optional; set to true if the century categories for the parent category use a hyphen (for example, Category:10th-century plays).
