Template:Ordinal

{{{1}}}st

This template is used on approximately 191,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandboxor/testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Usage

{{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. Do not use superscript notation in the article space, per this section of the Manual of Style.

For an integer ending in 1, 2 or 3 (except for integers ending in 11, 12 or 13), the ordinal suffix 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 running prose in articles; 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.

Examples

{{Ordinal|101}}

{{Ordinal|−102}}

{{Ordinal|102|sup=yes}}

{{Ordinal|103}}

{{Ordinal|103|d}}

{{Ordinal|first}}

{{Ordinal|47th}}
