Usage

This template converts a single year into an en-dashed range, abbreviating the second year to two digits whenever possible.

  • {{Dash year|2009}} gives 2009–10
  • {{Dash year|1999}} gives 1999–2000
  • {{Dash year|2009|2019}} gives 2009–19
  • {{Dash year|1999|2009}} gives 1999–2009
  • {{Dash year|2009|range=10}} gives 2009–19
  • {{Dash year|1999|range=10}} gives 1999–2009

Creates a dashed year range, either from start year to end year (if specified), start year + duration (if specified), or start year + 1 (if neither is specified)
