Template talk:Day Countdown

Date format

Since the only "short" date format permitted by the MOS is YYYY-MM-DD, should this not be the template default? Archon 2488 (talk) 19:51, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Since no article pages link here, I'm going to make the suggested change. --Uncle Ed (talk) 13:53, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

Per discussion at WP:TFD, this template along with {{Countdown}} and {{Countdown-ymd}} are not suitable for inclusion in articles. I have updated the documentation to reflect this. — Jkudlick ⚓ t ⚓ c ⚓ s 12:55, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
