Access date version fails in ref

I have been trying to use this template in Leyden jar § History. Although it works on the template page, the access date throws an error:

  • Wikicode: The Greek word for amber is ἤλεκτρον ("ēlektron") and is the origin of the word "electricity".<ref>{{MerriamWebsterDictionary|electric|accessdate={{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}-{{subst:CURRENTMONTH}}-{{subst:CURRENTDAY2}}}}</ref>
  • Display: The Greek word for amber is ἤλεκτρον ("ēlektron") and is the origin of the word "electricity".[1]

References

  1. ^ "electric". Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary. Retrieved {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}-{{subst:CURRENTMONTH}}-{{subst:CURRENTDAY2}}. {{cite web}}: Check date values in: |access-date= (help)


Without the "ref" enclosure:

  • Wikicode: {{MerriamWebsterDictionary|electric|accessdate={{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}-{{subst:CURRENTMONTH}}-{{subst:CURRENTDAY2}}}}
  • Display: "electric". Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary. Retrieved 2017-05-12.

Article titles

Since this template displays the titles of articles/entries regarding terms, and does not list the terms themselves, then according to

MOS:TITLECAPS, title case should be used. Hyacinth (talk) 21:55, 25 June 2018 (UTC)[reply
