*{{bxtn|date}} or {{bxtn|[1]}} (stand-alone date, or start date in a range){{spnd}} the time period (or the start of a time period) during which the subject is known to have been active or popular. Values may be in any relevant date unit. You may also use this parameter as a free-form field, for stand-alone dates or for date ranges; such ranges must be separated by a [[spaced en dash]] where applicable ([[WP:DATERANGE]]). For time periods not delimited with start and end dates (such as "1990s" or "21st century") use this parameter only; in ranges with start and end dates, the additional parameter {{bxt|date2}} below may be used, and is recommended. Apply any of Wikipedia's [[MOS:DATEFORMAT|acceptable date formats]], but please follow the relevant format established in the article, if any. The template code does not perform date-checking; inaccurate, non-existent, or impossible dates will display as entered. Depending on the prefix used (parameter {{bxt|pfx}} [[#pref|below]]), the value of {{bxt|date}} may be preceded by a [[narrow no-break space]], or by a [[no-break space]]. A value for this parameter {{em|may be required}} by other options.
