Usage

Result: fl. 1234 ; fl. 1234–1275 ; fl. c. 1275 ; fl. 1234

This template generates an abbreviation for floruit ("fl."); by default, it has a mouse-over tooltip explaining its meaning.

Parameters
This template supports an optional (first, unnamed) parameter representing a year (or range of years). For example, renders to give fl. 1956. This differs from  in that   puts a non-breaking space in between the "fl." and the number, which prevents web browsers from inserting a line break there.

If the lk (as in "link") parameter is set to off, then the abbreviation will be rendered as fl. (without a wikilink). Otherwise, the link is displayed. (This can be used to avoid overlinking when this template is used repeatedly in the body of an article.)
