Some discussion has occured in [[Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (dates
and numbers)]] about the formats of dates; i.e., whether or not
[[January 2]], [[2003]] is American-Imperialist. (My feeling: yes, but
that's not the only reason I like it.)
A suggestion was made to allow date strings to be wrapped in <date> -
</date> tags which the Wikipediware will parse and render properly. I
have written a Perl routine to not only do this, but also return either
the American or the European format, based on a flag set in each user's
preferences.
Questions:
How would I go about adding this routine to the Wikipediware?
Should I even bother adding this routine to the Wikipediware?
Does anyone care?
