I would like to to things like "{{currentday}}+1"
thx. Heinz
I had to do something similar with the Vietnamese Wikipedia's weekly
featured article template
<http://vi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ti%C3%AAu_b%E1%BA%A3n:B%C3%A0i_vi%E1%BA%BFt_ch%E1%BB%8Dn_l%E1%BB%8Dc>.
We used the {{CURRENTWEEK}} variable but I wanted an
automatically-generated list of previous weeks' articles, so I used the
switch template <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Switch> to map
every week to a previous week, then every week to two weeks before, etc.
It's verbose, but it works.
With days, it's slightly more complicated, because each month has a
different number of days, but if you're using that code to call a
particular template or link to some page, then you can use a redirect
from February 31 to March 2, for example, to call the correct template.
Your Idea was my first intention too. But you're rigtht it is quite
complicates, at least when you want to do it together with month and year.
