Release dates

This template offers some advanced version display capabilities to cover both pre-release and generally available operating systems. In an effort to ensure information about dates is both verifiably correct and useful to readers, the template will insert a {{fact}} tag beside the release date information if no URL is provided. When in doubt... leave it out.

first_release_date

Optional. The general availability date.

e.g. "[[February 17]] [[2000]]"

preview_version

Optional. A version or "build" number for the most recent widely distributed preview version of the operating system. Generally speaking, private or "leaked" builds are not suitable for mentioning on Wikipedia, as this doesn't meet our Wikipedia:Verifiability or Wikipedia:No original research policies.

Required if preview_version is set. The availability date of this build.

e.g. "[[July 27]] [[2005]]"
