Compatibility with WP:DATE - link=off by default

I motion that we change the entry format for this template from MM-DD-YYYY to YYYY-MM-DD. Pretty much all of the templates that require date entry are using YYYY-MM-DD ( {{tl|Age in days}} is one I use often), and this should be changed to conform to that. I think that's standard - even the citation templates use that format. [[User:Gary King|Gary King]] ([[User talk:Gary King|talk]]) 02:36, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 
==Compatibility with [[WP:DATE]]==
Based on recent changes to date formats (in particular, date autoformatting) in the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style]] for dates, I would like to suggest that "link=off" should be the default setting so that dates are not automatically linked when not specifying a parameter (likely to be the most common usage). If editors wish to link dates, they can set "link=on". [[User:Truthanado|Truthanado]] ([[User talk:Truthanado|talk]]) 00:15, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
