#'''Support'''. I feel that Linked dates would be good as it would help avoid conflicts as when Tropical cyclones transfer basins it causes headaches for WPTC members. Also i feel that if we are meant to link to "relevent articles" then why shouldnt we link to the date articles?

#'''Support'''. Date formatting enables the reader to quickly understand dates, and everyone has their preference (I set mine a while back).
