Usage

This template may be used to generate the word circa (“about, approximately”) or its abbreviation c. before a date. A link to the explanation of the word at Appendix:Glossary is provided.

The template is useful inside quotation templates such as {{quote-book}}, where the use of {{circa}} would cause formatting problems.

Parameters

The template takes two parameters:

• |1= – mandatory: a year, span of years, century, or other date.
• |short= – use |short=1 or |short=yes to abbreviate the word circa to c.
