The month is misspelled in the second example. This results in an error, but it is hidden when it runs through {{tl|dts/out}}. ---'''''—&nbsp;[[User:Gadget850|<span style="color:gray">Gadget850&nbsp;(Ed)</span>]]<span style="color:darkblue">&nbsp;</span>'''''</span><sup>[[User talk:Gadget850|''talk'']]</sup> 13:55, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

:::::Yes, a visible error message would be best in the long run; however, we don't yet know how many pages are misusing the template. Before we go putting up error messages I thought it might be best to fix up those pages already using an invalid date. So far [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Dts/no_date what links here] has picked up about a couple of dozen articles with invalid dates.

::::::Pages with #time errors will eventually be placed in [[:Category:Pages with parser function time errors]]. Before, you could see a page in the category, and if the error was hidden, you could find it in the rendered HTML and match it to the markup. Now you can't do that. For example, [[Italian record progression 50 metres freestyle]] is in the links here, but you will have to check every instance of the template for an error. ---'''''—&nbsp;[[User:Gadget850|<span style="color:gray">Gadget850&nbsp;(Ed)</span>]]<span style="color:darkblue">&nbsp;</span>'''''</span><sup>[[User talk:Gadget850|''talk'']]</sup> 23:31, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 
:::::::I have cleaned up all the invalid inputs in the main space. There weren't as many as I thought there might have been. The template is now giving a very obvious error message.
