Dates
editNoticed that the dates in the prose are all MDY, while the dates in the table are YMD... shouldn't the entire page be DMY? - wolf 18:28, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
@GraemeLeggett: I notcied you added a "use MDY" template to the page, after I posted this comment, but did not respond here. I'm just curious why you went with that format when, per MOS:DATE/WP:MILFORMAT, it appears DMY is the format that should be used? (But again, that's why I started this thread). Thanks - wolf 19:45, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
- I figured adding one of the Use XXX dates templates would at least make citations match the rest of the text. GraemeLeggett (talk) 19:53, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
- @GraemeLeggett: I think ultimately the entire page needs to have all dates, (prose, table & cites) changed to a single format. Not saying I'm going to do that, (I might, but not right now, meanwhile someone else might do it), if that were to happen, would you have any objections to the dates being DMY? - wolf 20:33, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
- No objections. So long as it follows policy. GraemeLeggett (talk) 21:00, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
