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 autoformating is now discouraged (See [[MOS:UNLINKDATES]]).

* '''MonthName Day, Year''' as in January 15, 2001 (symbolized as MMMM dD, YYYY)
* '''Day MonthName Year''' as in 15 January 2001 (symbolized as dD MMMM YYYY)
