{{Dda}} stands for {{day dab away}}. As a sister to {{dab away}} ({{da}}) and {{title dab away}} ({{tda}}), it performs a function you might already have encountered. It looks at the title of a page and then strips away dab term, leaving you with just the base name of the page. In other words, it will take 1 January (people) and return simply 1 January.
But, unlike other "dab away" templates, it only works on days of the year pages. It takes no parameters.
It is principally used in {{DayNav}}, where it strips away the dab term at, say, 1 January (releases), and then allows the code to discover that the page describes a day in the month of January. It is the primary engine behind the part of the calendar that announces the previous, next and current month.
Details[[edit source]]
As of June 2013, it differentiates between pages that have no dab terms (1 September, for instance) and these three dab terms:
- (people)
- (production)
- (releases)
