Usage
[edit]{{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.
For integers ending in 1, 2 or 3 (except for integers ending in 11, 12 or 13), the ordinal suffixes 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 transcriptions; 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.
