* <s>It also allows users to choose to convert dates within only the body of the article, as is permitted for reference sections (where yyyy-mm-dd dates are common) to have different dates, or throughout the article.</s> Now disabled. CS1 now manages the date rendering by [[Help:Citation_Style_1#Auto-formatting_citation_template_dates|auto-formatting citation template dates]] using parameters within the {{tl|use dmy dates}} and {{tl|use mdy dates}} templates, so this can be used to fine-tune the rendering.

<!-- * ISO-style dates (yyyy-mm-dd) which are outside <nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki> tags are not acted upon by the script -->
