Localization

Notes
The template is similar to one of the options of Template:Other date, but causes a smaller expansion depth, thus avoiding the "expansion depth limit exceeded" error occurring on some pages transcluding that other template.
If parameters 2 and 3 are empty or undefined, parameter 1 can contain not just a year but any text, which is passed unchanged. It can for example be the call of another template that also provides localized text, e.g. Template:Circa. Similarly for parameters 4, 5 and 6.
