== Dates and time ==

~~=== Calendars ===~~

Alathrans use multiple different calendars to record time. Dates should always be formatted to clearly indicate which calendar is being used. For specific details about formatting, check for the calendar's dedicated article. In addition to real time, the commonly used calendars are:

* [[Lore calendar]] (not denoted)

* [[Crops' calendar]] (denoted by AC and BC)

* [[Valtaran calendar]] (denoted by ACW and BCW)

=== Dates ===

Full dates in real time are formatted {{xt|11 June 2023}} or {{xt|June 11, 2023}}; or where the year is omitted, use {{xt|11 June}} or {{xt|June 11}}. Only omit years to avoid repetition, such as when a year is already established in a single paragraph. For month and year, write {{xt|June 2023}}, with no comma.

~~When formatting a date in a different calendar, never omit its required denotation ({{xt|June 11, 4 AC}}, not {{!xt|June 11, 4}}).~~

The dates in the text of any article should remain consistent throughout (day-first or month-first), except for dates in quotations and titles, which are always left as-is.
