- {{YEAR|January 1999}} gives: 1999
- {{YEAR|1 January 1999}} gives: 1999

Reports "Error" if given bad input:
- {{YEAR|1-14-1990}} gives: Error
Templat:In5Reason for the error: there are not 14 months. - {{YEAR|61 January 1999}} gives: Error
Templat:In5Reason for the error: no month has 61 days. - {{YEAR|1 MyMonth 1999}} gives: Error
Templat:In5Reason for the error: there is no such month name. - {{YEAR|some text which is not a date}} gives: Error
Templat:In5Reason for the error: no date information to parse. - {{YEAR|on approximately 1999-12-12}} gives: Error
Templat:In5Reason for the error: includes extraneous content.
If used with a year range, it returns only the first match:
- {{YEAR|1999-2001}} gives: 1999
This presently only works when the year range is specified with a hyphen; if correctly given with an en dash, it reports an error (this will probably not be fixed, because handling ranges is not the template's function; that it kinda-sorta works on something like 1999-2001 with a hyphen is basically just an accident):
- {{YEAR|1999–2001}} gives: Error
If used without input, it simply outputs the current year:
- {{YEAR}} gives: 2024
It can be cleanly substituted for this purpose. If fed invalid data when substituted, it produces a larger, red error.
