Usage
((Ordinal|integer))
This template will add the appropriate ordinal indicator to a given integer.
Use ((Ordinal|integer|sup=yes)) to display the ordinal suffix in superscript. Do not use superscript notation in the article space, per this section of the Manual of Style.
For an integer ending in 1, 2 or 3 (except for integers ending in 11, 12 or 13), the ordinal suffix will be -st, -nd and -rd, respectively. To display -d for the ordinal suffix rather than -nd and -rd, use ((Ordinal|integer|d)).
This template should not be used in running prose in articles; it is intended for automated script processing of numeric data. Writing something like "in the ((ordinal|16)) century" serves no purpose, and just makes the wikicode harder to understand and edit.
