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-->

== German table error ==
Extremely unfortunate that this feature is totally incompatible with German WP tables that use dts coded with year at the end!
* "dts|17|10|2002"
Error: 17 10 2002
This is not an acceptable date format. Please check the spelling, check the numbers and/or read the documentation at template

Please improve this dts code so that source fields with values 1xxx or 2xxx are auto-recognized as YEAR regardless of whether the field is first or last.-[[Special:Contributions/71.174.188.43|71.174.188.43]] ([[User talk:71.174.188.43|talk]]) 22:48, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
The problem with that would be that some might think that {{<code>dts|11|10|2002</code>}} were for November 10 rather than 11 October. [[User talk:Jimp|Jimp]] 09:30, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
