:''For templates, you might want to use {{T|Date period}} instead.''

<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>#invoke:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''_main''|dateA|dateB}}</code>

Automatically formats two given dates with a space and and en dash. Dates can be of any format supported by [[Module:Date]].

If the month is the same, it is only shown once. If the month and day is the same, it will not show a second part at all. If the year is different, it will show the year no matter what.

The year can be forcefully shown with the <code>show-year</code> parameter (third parameter of <code>p._main</code>).

{| class="wikitable"
! Date A
! Date B
! show-year
! Output
|-

| {{#invoke:Date period|main|2020-02-19|2021-02-25|show-year=yes}}
|}

If one of the dates is invalid, the raw text will be displayed instead.
