=== Date field type === So core you can't imagine living without it, there is a "Date" field type. It takes a single date, either entered as a date (down to the day) or a date with a time. It can be displayed in arbitary PHP date formats, and easily indexes into Solr as a date field. As a Facet, it can be displayed at year, year-month, or year-month-day granularity. There is a "slider" (lets you drag a widget to specify a year range) but since JqueryUI was deprecated, it needs a patch. [https://www.drupal.org/project/facets/issues/3153622 Seth Shaw wrote one]. Problems: Much date metadata cannot be specified down to the day because it's: * approximate or uncertain * specified less precisely - to a month, year, decade, century, even season * specified as a range, closed or open ended These can be represented in EDTF; see below.
