::Abbreviating month names by default is an absolutely horrible idea. Like the user above, I agree that is looks unprofessional, and would be better installed as an optional parameter, rather than the default output. <font color="red">Canuck</font><small>^{[[User talk:Canuckian89|89 (converse with me)]]</small>} 05:58, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

:::In addition, the changed code has caused a complete breakdown in some tables, such as those listed at [[List of Presidents of Israel by longevity]], which looked fine under the previous version. <font color="blue">Canuck</font><small>^{[[User talk:Canuckian89|89 (have words with me)]]</small>} 06:27, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

::::It appears that this has caused a breakdown across many of our FLs, I'm not sure what the fix is, but check [[List of international cricket five-wicket hauls by Anil Kumble]] for one example (many of the FLs in the category have the same problem). &mdash;[[User:SpacemanSpiff|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#BA181F;">Spaceman</fontspan>]]'''[[User_talk:SpacemanSpiff|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#2B18BA;">Spiff</fontspan>]]''' 07:29, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

:::::The new template seems to force a new line after it, so that where a date is immediately followed by a reference or comment, the reference/comment is now below the date - making tables longer and scruffier. See Costa Rica and Albania in [[International recognition of Kosovo#UN member states]] for example. [[User:Bazonka|Bazonka]] ([[User talk:Bazonka|talk]]) 07:47, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

::::::I would just like to see the month abbreviations set as an optional parameter, as I think the abbreviations look ugly as a default. <font color="red">Canuck</font><small>^{[[User talk:Canuckian89|89 <span style="text-decoration:blink;">(click here!)</span>]]</small>} 09:25, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
