Since this template is intended for use in making table columns sortable, it would be nice if it were possible to set a parameter at the level of the whole table so that options such as ''|format=dmy'', which is required to avoid US-centric dates, do not have to be repeated for each individual date entry? I have no idea if this sort of scope would work in this html/mediawiki mix. [[User:Boud|Boud]] ([[User talk:Boud|talk]]) 23:51, 29 February 2020 (UTC)

== Output won't break lines ==

I was trying to figure out why [[List of national parks of the United States]] has a narrow Description column while [[User:E. Brown/List of National Parks of the United States]] has such a wide one and I realized it's because the Date column is forced to be wider than necessary with the dts template in the former keeping the date on a single line and the latter allowing the line to break. Is there a way to allow the output of this template to be on two lines? [[User:Reywas92|Reywas92]]^{[[User talk:Reywas92|Talk]]} 03:38, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
