{{HistoricalRejected|date=September 2008<!--Consensus actually rejected this in two 2008 RfCs, reaffirmed in a followup in 2009, but the feature wasn't disabled until February 2013.-->|comment=<br/>'''The data autoformatting feature is [[mw:Manual:$wgUseDynamicDates|no longer part of the MediaWiki software]]'''}}

Since at least 2004, it has been possible for registered users to set a preference regarding the way dates appear to them. Wikilinking all {{nowrap|dates&thinsp;/&thinsp;years}} purely for the use of autoformatting is now discouraged (See [[MOS:UNLINKDATES]]).

Line 101 ⟶ 102:

Date elements on disambiguation pages and section headings should never be linked; the same applies to quotations, unless the original quote is linked.
