Change timeformat to logical format

Something like Day/month/Year either with month written out or using something similar to DD/MM/YYYY. Shinasu (talk) 22:01, 13 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The new format must have the month as words. This is to make sure that all our international users can understand the wiki properly. Beyond that I am open for suggestions, but I prefer it written our rather than using slashes (/). Dates should be able to be read naturally.

Fully open for it to be written without those for separation.
The order is what makes little sense for most outside US.
So example something like "13 March 2023" is perfectly fine. Shinasu (talk) 22:09, 13 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
DD - MM - YYYY is the most common date format (smallest to biggest), used by every country in the world except for a handful. Most of that handful use YYYY/MM/DD, which still makes sense (biggest to smallest).
USA is the only country in the planet that uses MM/DD/YYYY, (medium - small - big??????) which makes absolutely no sense. It also makes no sense that we'd adopt it for the wiki.
