Template talk:OldStyleDate
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Conforming to user preferences
This template should be set to conform with the users Date format preference. For instance Boris Galerkins life with my preferences, now reads
(March 4 [O.S. February 20] 1871 - 1945-07-12)
- Set per your request.--Jusjih 10:38, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
The template's output reads shity when the dates are in different years. E.g. {{OldStyleDate|January 10|1906|December 28, 1905}} becomes January 10 [O.S. December 28, 1905] 1906 rather than January 10, 1906 [O.S. December 28, 1905]. There should be an optional fourth paramater to handle the second year properly. --FordPrefect42 21:57, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
- Oops, I just realized there is Template:OldStyleDateDY for exactly that needs. How about some operating guidelines for these templates somewhere, folks? --FordPrefect42 22:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
