::I tried to find an existing table that could cause problems with dts nowrap, but I could not find any. On the other hand, I found many that would benefit from nowrap. So yes, I'd say nowrap=on would really make sense as the default. [[User:GregorB|GregorB]] ([[User talk:GregorB|talk]]) 09:18, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

:::Did it. The new parameter is "nowrap", and it defaults to "'''on'''". If there are major problems with this, feel free to revert. Minor problems in individual articles should be fixable by setting nowrap to "off"; I haven't found such cases thus far. I'll update the template documentation shortly.

== New functionality ==

I've added the capacity for the template to handle a date as a single parameter. The default formatting is the same (month-day-year) but only applies to ISO input (international format is left as is). It accepts abbreviated month names. It corrects capitilisation and comma mistakes. It uses {{[[mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions#.23time:|#time:]]}} and so is limited to what the parser function can handle (e.g. it won't go beyond 100 AD). It ignores <code>link=on</code>.
