:::{{ping|Salton Finneger}} Ah, I see. That will actually be interpreted as DMY, not MDY. You can check that by going to [[Special:ExpandTemplates]] and entering <code><nowiki>{{dts|5/7/2016}}</nowiki></code> - it will give you <code><nowiki><span class="sortkey" style="display:none;speak:none">000000002016-07-05-0000</span><span style="white-space:nowrap">5 July 2016</span></nowiki></code>. — '''''[[User:Mr. Stradivarius|<span style="color: #194D00; font-family: Palatino, Times, serif">Mr.&nbsp;Stradivarius</span>]]''''' <sup>[[User talk:Mr. Stradivarius|♪&nbsp;talk&nbsp;♪]]</sup> 23:27, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
::::I'd say it's best not to mention this in the doc though. XX/XX/XXXX format is ambiguous. Even though it'd only be in the source code, it'd be better not to encourage it. [[User talk:Jimp|Jimp]] 02:02, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 
== Support sorting quarters ==
 
Would it be feasible without too much hassle to support quarter notation such as "Q1, 2017"? They should be sorted right after the last month of the quarter, e.g. after March 2017 for Q1, after June for Q2, etc. Also the notation for half-years "H1, 2017" is sometimes useful for government documents or future planned events with only a vague announced time range. — [[User:JFG|JFG]] <sup>[[User talk:JFG|talk]]</sup> 18:40, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
:I'm in support of this idea. The new game list articles frequently come with quarter dates. [[Template:DTBA]] was created to support and sort quarters but it would be better it was merged into this template. <span style="text-shadow: 0px 0px 2px #58f;">[[User:Rukario-sama|<font color="#58f">Rukario</font><font color="#555">-sama</font>]]</span> <span style="text-shadow: 0px 0px 2px #555;">[[User talk:Rukario-sama|<font color="#555">^ㅈ^ -(...)</font>]]</span> 21:45, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
