Template:Monthnumber

Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

This template returns the cyclic integer month number (between 1 and 12) of the month whose real number is in parameter. Alternatively, the month can be given with its English name (complete or abbreviated to 3 characters, with capitals or small letters). Wikipedia doesn't appear to have a redirect to {{MONTHNUMBER}}.
