-- [[Module:Complex date]] is loaded lazily and has the following dependencies:
-- Module:I18n/complex date, Module:ISOdate, Module:DateI18n (alternative for Module:Date),
-- Module:Formatnum, Module:I18n/date, Module:Yesno, Module:Linguistic, Module:Calendar
-- The following, taken from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikibase/DataModel#Dates_and_times,
-- is needed to use Module:Complex date which seemingly requires date precision as a string.
-- It would work better if only the authors of the mediawiki page could spell 'millennium'.
