{{Date range|Year of event start|Month of event start|Day of event start|Year of event end|Month of event end|Day of event end}}

For example:

{{Date range|1996|April|20|2002|June|9}}

yields

(1996-April-20) (2002-June-09)April 20, 1996 – June 9, 2002

and

{{Date range|1996|April|20|2002|June|9|df=y}}

yields

(1996-April-20) (2002-June-09)20 April 1996 – 9 June 2002

Days are optional, allowing

{{Date range|year1=1996|month1=Apr|year2=2002|month2=Jun}}

to yield

({{{year}}}-{{{month}}}-{{{day}}}) ({{{year}}}-{{{month}}}-{{{day}}})April 1996 – June 2002.
