:The alterations seem great, nice work. However, I'm not entirely convinced that the month names need to abbreviated by default. While I see your point about the issue of space, I personally worry whether reducing all month names to just three letters would suggest a lack of professionalism that, as an encyclopaedia, we need to avoid. It makes sense for an editor to have the option to abbreviate the month names, but could this not be achieved through an optional parameter?

::Abbreviating month names by default is an absolutely horrible idea. Like the user above, I agree that is looks unprofessional, and would be better installed as an optional parameter, rather than the default output. <font color="red">Canuck</font><small><sup>[[User talk:Canuckian89|89 (converse with me)]]</
:::In addition, the changed code has caused a complete breakdown in some tables, such as those listed at [[List of Presidents of Israel by longevity]], which looked fine under the previous version. <font color="blue">Canuck</font><small><sup>[[User talk:Canuckian89|89 (have words with me)]]</
::::It appears that this has caused a breakdown across many of our FLs, I'm not sure what the fix is, but check [[List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Anil Kumble]] for one example (many of the FLs in the category have the same problem). —[[User:SpacemanSpiff|<span style="color:#BA181F;">Spaceman</span>]]'''[[User_talk:SpacemanSpiff|<span style="color:#2B18BA;">Spiff</span>]]''' 07:29, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
:::::The new template seems to force a new line after it, so that where a date is immediately followed by a reference or comment, the reference/comment is now below the date - making tables longer and scruffier. See Costa Rica and Albania in [[International recognition of Kosovo#UN member states]] for example. [[User:Bazonka|Bazonka]] ([[User talk:Bazonka|talk]]) 07:47, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
::::::I would just like to see the month abbreviations set as an optional parameter, as I think the abbreviations look ugly as a default. <font color="red">Canuck</font><small><sup>[[User talk:Canuckian89|89 <span style="text-decoration:blink;">(click here!)</span>]]</
:::::::The abbreviations stink. How can one guy just go and change it without first trying to reach a consensus among users?[[User:TheFBH|TheFBH]] ([[User talk:TheFBH|talk]]) 21:01, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
::::::::As this template is used on over 10,000 articles consensus should be gained before changing the functionality for existing pages. Please gain consensus or change to operate as the previous version. [[User:Keith D|Keith D]] ([[User talk:Keith D|talk]]) 15:25, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
