This should deal with the leading zero that sometimes happens with dates, which is discouraged. Sceptre (talk) 12:09, 26 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Removing editsemiprotected, looks like you fixed it yourself? Pyrospirit  ( talk  ·  contribs ) 18:01, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikitext conversion is an inherently flawed approach
I appreciate the good intent of the template writers here, but it needs to be pointed out that the problem of global specification and conversion of dates is not well appreciated.

I am proposing this template and that for end date be deprecated in favor of bot created encodings that can later be hand modified by astute authors (eg modifying for local time errors).

Template breaks tooltip preview
This template, when used inside an Infobox at the top of an article, breaks the tooltip preview mechanism when the cursor hovers over a link to said article. Instead of seeing a preview of the article, all one gets is a tiny rectangle about the size of the cursor with no text or images inside. It's worse-than-useless in its present form.&mdash;QuicksilverT @ 19:11, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Default date format
The default date format should not be the American format. The international format would be better but then Americans would claim favouritism towards British dating. I think that "ISO" dating should be the default with both DMY and MDY formatting being specified.  McLerristarr &#124;  Mclay1  06:26, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

abbreviations
I'd like to see the option of abbreviated month names (e.g. 12 Dec 2000). J IM ptalk·cont 05:39, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
