[WikiEN-l] Date conditional switching templates

[Ian Woollard]

Thing is though, you can always use a future tense like:

The London Olympics {{dateswitch | is due to start | was scheduled to
start | 05052012}} on 5th May 2012; that way, you're always right,
even if it later rescheduled.

So, I think this is a slight improvement over the 'as of' system, if
used carefully.

We live in an imperfectly imperfect world. Life in a perfectly
imperfect world would be *much* better. Life in an imperfectly perfect
world would be pretty ghastly though.
