=====I support the general concept of autoformatting=====
# While I don't care much about having a user preference to make all dates into one format, something like <nowiki>{{#formatdate}}</codenowiki> combined with a <nowiki>{{DEFAULTDATEFORMAT}}</nowiki> magic word to set the default for the whole page is necessary to avoid either forcing all date-handling templates to have a "dateformat" parameter on ''every use'' or forcing all date-handling templates to allow any arbitrary garbage in their "date" parameters and forgo any possibility of date manipulation. I also see no point in not allowing those who want the feature to have it, and frankly the "arguments against" above reek of [[Fear, uncertainty and doubt|FUD]] and [[appeal to authority|logical fallacy]] with no real substance.
