Template:MONTHNUMBER

Template documentation

{{MONTHNUMBER}} 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).

Does not play nicely with "subst:".
