Usage

This template generates an abbreviation for circa: c. By default the abbreviation is marked with an HTML <abbr> tag, which in most browsers renders as a tooltip when hovered.

Examples

Syntax	What it looks like	Notes
{{circa|1325}}	c. 1325	Default style: no line break allowed; thin space
{{circa|1325 BCE}}	c. 1325 BCE
{{circa|1325|lk=yes}}	c. 1325	Replace abbreviation tooltip with a link to Wiktionary instead
{{circa|1325|lk=no}}	c. 1325	No abbreviation tooltip at all
{{circa|1000|1050}}	c. 1000 – c. 1050	For a range with both dates uncertain. No tooltip on the second instance of "c."
{{circa|1000–1050}}	c. 1000–1050	Another option for a range; but, per , prefer {{circa|1000|1050}}

Parameters

Using the date itself as parameter (for example, "{{circa|1956}}", giving "c. 1956"), web browsers do not insert a line break anywhere in the string. By contrast, "{{circa}} 1956" allows a line break between the "c." and the number. Also, with the date as a parameter a thinner space is used with many browsers:

• "c. 1956" is generated by "{{circa|1956}}".
• "c. 1956" is generated by "{{circa}} 1956".

If the parameter |lk= (for "link") is set as "|lk=no" or "|lk=off", the abbreviation is rendered as "c.", without a wikilink or abbreviation element. If it is absent, or set to "|lk=abbr", the abbreviation is rendered with the HTML <abbr> element. If it is set to "|lk=yes" or "|lk=on", it is rendered as "c.", with a wikilink to the wikt:circa article in Wiktionary and not an abbreviation element. lk=no can be used to avoid overlinking when this template is used repeatedly in the body of an article. For example:

• [[Dionysius Exiguus]] was born {{circa|470}}, lived in Rome from {{circa|lk=no|500}}, and died {{circa|lk=no|544}}.

  → Dionysius Exiguus was born c. 470, lived in Rome from c. 500, and died c. 544.
