Currently the Uzbek Wikipedia special pages are displaying dates without hyphen (as in 22 mart), but according to new rules (http://el.tfi.uz/pdf/lyoaoai_uzl.pdf) for latin based Uzbek script dates (and any ordinal number) should be written with hyphen (as in 22-mart). TL;DR: dd mm is wrong, dd-mm is right. Fully it would appear as dd-mm yyyy. And the decimal separators. Currently they are displayed as xxx,xxx.xx, and should be as xxx xxx,xx (space instead of commas for 3-digit grouping, decimal comma instead of decimal point).
As you mention Uzbek Wikipedia, was this discussed there? Do they have guidelines on the matter? The change wouldn't affect only Wikipedia, though, and it's not the only stakeholder: fixing summary.
There was no proper discussion, although users write according to the rules, e.g. here: https://uz.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%CA%BBzbekcha_Vikipediya Nonetheless opened a discussion at village pump: https://uz.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikipediya:Forum#Sana_va_o.CA.BBnli_kasrlar

Created attachment 14800 [details] I understood that the change needed in the date format is that add a hyphen in between if there is a date and then a month
