-==What this template does==
-This template distinguishes between:
-- A **numeric year** like 2380, which links to <code>Category:2380</code> (if available),
-- A **date range** or text string, displayed as a “time period”,
-- Or nothing, defaulting to “an unspecified date”.
-Tooltips offer added clarity without cluttering the interface.
