There is a documentation subpage housing the metadata about parent template: DateUnpackB.

This outputs the definition "infobox" version of release date.

This template assumes a four digit date starting with 19. If it doesn't get that, it makes a bunch of other assumptions that maybe wrong.

DateUnpackB Assumptions
Condition	Result
yr is len 0	display No Yr Cat
yr is len 1	display No Yr Cat
len 2	If yr is 2 long, Assume numbers, prepend "19"
len 3	error
len 4	Assume numbers, no spc handling needed
len > 9	error

Add regex to ensure that only numbers are passed to Template:DateB Year Released
