:It can do {{dts|October 2005}}. [[User:Jimp|J<small>IM</small>p]]_{&nbsp;[[User talk:Jimp|talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Jimp|cont]]} 10:38, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

::When I enter a code <code><nowiki>{{dts|format=y|1992|2|7}}</nowiki></code> it doesn't format the output properly. Can you update "format" values to display onyl the year-value ? -Paul

::: <code><nowiki>{{dts|1992}}</nowiki></code> (output: {{dts|1992}}) will do what you want, to display only the year. <fontspan facestyle="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Gary King|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#02b;">Gary&nbsp;<b>King</b></fontspan>]]&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 0.9em;">([[User talk:Gary King|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#02e;">talk</fontspan>]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User:Gary King/Scripts|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#02e;">scripts</fontspan>]])</span></fontspan> 19:05, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

== Time interval ==

Is it possible to enter a time interval such as January 11–15 and have it sort by the first (or last) date, i.e. as "January 11" or "January 15"? [[User:Bamse|bamse]] ([[User talk:Bamse|talk]]) 20:20, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

: The template doesn't do this at the moment. For now, you can use {{tl|sort}}. <fontspan facestyle="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Gary King|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#02b;">Gary&nbsp;<b>King</b></fontspan>]]&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 0.9em;">([[User talk:Gary King|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#02e;">talk</fontspan>]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User:Gary King/Scripts|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#02e;">scripts</fontspan>]])</span></fontspan> 05:38, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

::Thanks for the reply. I went with {{tl|dtsh}} and typing the interval after it (without template). [[User:Bamse|bamse]] ([[User talk:Bamse|talk]]) 08:14, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

::I suppose that "dtsh" and "dts" add the same kind of hidden sort code, correct? [[User:Bamse|bamse]] ([[User talk:Bamse|talk]]) 08:15, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

::: Yep <fontspan facestyle="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Gary King|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#02b;">Gary&nbsp;<b>King</b></fontspan>]]&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 0.9em;">([[User talk:Gary King|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#02e;">talk</fontspan>]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User:Gary King/Scripts|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#02e;">scripts</fontspan>]])</span></fontspan> 19:15, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

== Conflict with Skype ==

Line 304:

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to have the default format as international dating rather than American dating? Is this determined by the template or is it entirely based on user preferences?

: Template default is MDY. There is an option to change it to DMY. <fontspan facestyle="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Gary King|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#02b;">Gary&nbsp;<b>King</b></fontspan>]]&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 0.9em;">([[User talk:Gary King|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#02e;">talk</fontspan>]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User:Gary King/Scripts|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#02e;">scripts</fontspan>]])</span></fontspan> 02:41, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

::Hence my first question. '''[[User:Mclay1|<span style="color:red">McLerristarr</span>]]&nbsp;&#124;&nbsp;[[User talk:Mclay1|<span style="color:blue">Mclay1</span>]]''' 02:49, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

::: Not sure whether it's more appropriate. A related question would be whether it's worth changing it and then going through every article that transcludes this template to ensure that they are using the correct format, since by now most people using this template assume that it outputs in MDY. <fontspan facestyle="font-family:Verdana;">[[User:Gary King|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#02b;">Gary&nbsp;<b>King</b></fontspan>]]&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 0.9em;">([[User talk:Gary King|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#02e;">talk</fontspan>]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User:Gary King/Scripts|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#02e;">scripts</fontspan>]])</span></fontspan> 02:54, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
