On en.wiki [[2005-02-20]] would turn into [[20 February]] [[2005]]. I'd like something like that for tr.wiki I am not even certain why this fuction is not turned on wikimedia-wide.
DefaultSettings.php comment on the variable says: /** Enable to allow rewriting dates in page text. * DOES NOT FORMAT CORRECTLY FOR MOST LANGUAGES */ Beyond that, I can't tell you anything.
(In reply to comment #0) > I am not even certain why this fuction is not turned on wikimedia-wide. The feature was written to solve a long-running dispute on the English Wikipedia over the preferred date format to use in article text, a dispute which I understood was not present on the other projects. It initially had essentially no internationalisation, although some was added later by Avar. The formats are still hard-coded.
Oh there is no dispute over this on tr.wiki. I just find the syntax to be very very conviniant (I can simply copy paste dates like this on large lists) Is it possible to impliment this for tr.wiki?
As a native Tr speaker, this type of date feature is not necessary for any project that is in Turkish Language. In Turkish language dates are not written in "2006-03-20" format at all. (Maybe coders use this format for sorting purposes) I am around tr wp last 2 years and I haven't seen any request or need for this until Cool Cat's request. This enhancement may not harm user-end, but as a bureaucrat and sysop of tr:wp, I should add that, this bug submissions does not reflect Turkish community request. It is only Cool Cats personal request.
GAH! 2006-03-20 is the ISO format. No one writes dates like that.
I withdraw my request. Tr.wiki is simply not worth my time.
On careful rethinking I think this would be a useful addition to the wiki.
Please provide a link to an on-wiki-discussion about this, showing community consensus that this feature should be added.
