Wikitroid talk:Requests for Comment/Date formatting

Support MDY This is the format I've used in my editing. As far as I know it's the standard, so I support the use of that in general.  R o y b o y X (complaints/records) 23:24, October 10, 2018 (UTC)
 * Agree I figured that too, since we typically use American English anyway. But I think there should at least be a mention of this in the Manual of Style or another project page. --CortexCPU242 (talk) 07:02, October 11, 2018 (UTC)

Default(?) - For most instances where we do not hold our own guidelines for formatting (or any other issues), refer to Wikipedia. This particular section covers the topic at hand; here's some key points we should introduce: There is a lot more formatting rules to get nitpicky with, but these are the basics and the main issues we're addressing. -- Madax the Shadow  {ADMIN} (talk &bull; logs &bull; contribs) 23:43, November 4, 2018 (UTC)
 * "Where this manual provides options, consistency should be maintained within an article unless there is a good reason to do otherwise. The Arbitration Committee has ruled that editors should not change an article from one guideline-defined style to another without a substantial reason unrelated to mere choice of style, and that revert-warring over optional styles is unacceptable. If discussion cannot determine which style to use in an article, defer to the style used by the first major contributor."
 * Both 2 September 2001 and September 2, 2001 are acceptable, but 02-09-2001 and 09-02-2001 are not. Clarity is most important, not global consistency.
 * Do not use ordinals (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.)
 * Do not use a leading zero in month or day except in all-numeric (yyyy-mm-dd) format.
 * What exactly is the end goal of this RfC? An amendment to our Manual of Style that addresses date formatting?  R o y b o y X (complaints/records) 00:08, November 5, 2018 (UTC)
