Line 37:
Lightmouse initially created a script to deal with a number of general formatting issues, and date alignment was one such function. I used it and often gave feedback and bug reports. Seeing the need to work on the diversity of date formats and date situations that are seen here on Wikipedia, I created an independent script targeted at dates with some help and advice from Lightmouse.
Over the years, this script has been built on and refined. But it was getting unwieldy,
In April 2012, the engine underwent a major rework by {{User|1exec1}}, who built it and incorporated a new regex_worker function that allows more effective treatment of date fragments; there is better protection of strings that ought not to be modified by the script. In May, the new improved version of the script went 'live'.
