I noticed <strike>from</strike> the [[:Template:Dts#Examples|examples]] in documentation have years starting with 0, from which I inferred support for display of the [[Year 10,000 problem|year 10,000]] and beyound. Is this true? -[[User:Mardus|Mardus]] ([[User talk:Mardus|talk]]) 02:11, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
 
== "What it solves" section does not fully conform to MOS:DATE ==
 
The "What is solves" section avers unequivocally that the "YYYY-MM-DD format...does not conform to the Manual of Style for date display". This is not completely correct. The [[MOS:DATE]] section allows that the format is sometimes "useful in long lists and tables for conciseness". The section should make it clear that, at least in the case of lists and tables, the editor has some latitude in the date format to be used. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/108.79.226.129|108.79.226.129]] ([[User talk:108.79.226.129|talk]]) 16:32, 15 February 2013 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
