Line 1: {{Superseded\|Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Dates, months and years}} {{~~Historical~~Rejected\|date=September 2008<!--Consensus actually rejected this in two 2008 RfCs, reaffirmed in a followup in 2009, but the feature wasn't disabled until February 2013.-->\|comment=<br/>'''The data autoformatting feature is [[mw:Manual:$wgUseDynamicDates\|no longer part of the MediaWiki software]]'''}} Since at least 2004, it has been possible for registered users to set a preference regarding the way dates appear to them. Wikilinking all {{nowrap\|dates / years}} purely for the use of autoformatting is now discouraged (See [[MOS:UNLINKDATES]]). Line 101 ⟶ 102: Date elements on disambiguation pages and section headings should never be linked; the same applies to quotations, unless the original quote is linked.
