Examples

for the first Sunday of January 2000 n = first, 1st or 1 w = Sunday, Sun or 0 m = January, Jan or 1 y = 2000 for the first Monday of February 2006 n = first, 1st or 1 w = Monday, Mon or 1 m = February, Feb or 2 y = 2006 for the first Tuesday of March 2010 n = first, 1st or 1 w = Tuesday, Tue or 2 m = March, Mar or 3 y = 2010 for the second Tuesday of April 2012 n = second, 2nd or 2 w = Tuesday, Tue or 2 m = April, Apr or 4 y = 2012

for the second Tuesday of May 2020 n = second, 2nd or 2 w = Tuesday, Tue or 2 m = May or 5 y = 2020 for the second Wednesday of June 2100 n = second, 2nd or 2 w = Wednesday, Wed or 3 m = June, Jun or 6 y = 2100 for the third Wednesday of July this year n = third, 3rd or 3 w = Wednesday, Wed or 3 m = July, Jul or 7 y = {{#time:Y}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}} or leave it blank for the third Thursday of August this year n = third, 3rd or 3 w = Thursday, Thu or 4 m = August, Aug or 8 y = {{#time:Y}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}} or leave it blank

Calculation

The template then gives j, the day of the month, as calculated by the following formulae.

j = 7×n − 6 + (w − w₁) mod 7 (for positive n)

j = t + 7×(n + 1) − (w_t − w) mod 7 (for negative n)

Where t is the last day of the month, w_t is the ISO weekday number of the last day of the month, w₁ is the ISO weekday number of the first day of the month and n and w are as defined above.
