Template:TBA/doc

This template should be used when you want to have a quarter like "Q3 2007" (third quarter of 2007), or want to sort a year or quarter at the end of that period, in sortable tables. The sortkeys produced are compatible with those of Template:dts (talk, backlinks, edit). By default time periods are sorted according to their end date. Using "sortbefore=yes" will let them sort according to their start date. See the example below for details. The result is not linked, and cannot be put in a link: due to the hidden part inside the link brackets the link would not work.
