Usage
{{Current events|year=2007|month=3|day=1|content=
}}
gives:
and
{{Current events|year=2007|month=3|day=14|content=
defghi defghi defghi defghi defghi defghi defghi defghi defghi defghi defghi defghi defghi defghi defghi defghi defghi defghi defghi
}}
gives:
The first example has the anchors #2007_March_1 and #2007_March_01, the second the anchor #2007_March_14. Having the full date as anchor name allows transclusion of day pages from different years on one page, without collision of anchor names (otherwise there would be equal anchors of which only the first would be effective).
Thus we can use the section links
The first is not recommended, because when applying Special:Linksearch to find links in external style to the content on 1 March, one would get also those to content on 10 March, etc.
The anchors have a fixed format, while the page contains with a "bold" specification the expanded wikitext such as "[[March 14]], [[2007]]" which due to the date formatting feature produces links of which one has a user-dependent link label, but with fixed targets "March 14" and "2007"; it also has various links related to the page Portal:Current events/2007 March 14.
Unfortunately it does not seem possible to have a link with the same target as
The day number in the anchor has, when below 10, a leading zero, see also [2].
