{{Daydab/doc}} is a template that is at the heart of the {{DayNav}} family of templates. It allows the discovery of the dab term on a certain days of the year page.

Usage[[edit source]]

If you type the following

{{daydab}}

on, say, 1 January (production), this template will return (production). On 1 January (releases), it will give you (releases).

That's it. There are no parameters, no nothin'. Just {{daydab}}. Its utility outside of {{DayNav}} is therefore hard to imagine. But within {{DayNav}} it allows you to figure out what kind of day page you're on and therefore populate the calendar with other days that have that same dab term.

So, because of {{daydab}}, when you're on 1 June (people), the calendar fills up with other (people) days in the month of June.

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)
