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)
- 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. VeryGreatFrog (talk) 22:02, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- 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)
- What is your opinion on using a comma after the month? This is similar to what we are doing right now.
- Example:
- 13 March, 2023 VeryGreatFrog (talk) 22:28, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- 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.
- DD - Month - YYYY would be the best option. Yamboni (talk) 22:06, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- DD - Month - YYYY
- Does that mean the following:
- 02 - March - 2023
- 1 - March - 2023
- 1 March 2023
- Et cetera. Please provide examples of your preferred format. Thank yoU! VeryGreatFrog (talk) 22:17, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Any of those would work for me, or 02 March 2023, without dashes and with 0 on days lower than 10 Yamboni (talk) 22:20, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- What is your opinion on using a comma after the month? This is similar to what we are doing right now.
- Example:
- 02 March, 2023 VeryGreatFrog (talk) 22:28, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- Any of those would work for me, or 02 March 2023, without dashes and with 0 on days lower than 10 Yamboni (talk) 22:20, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- DD-MM-YYYY it is Phondrason (talk) 22:10, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- DD-MM-YYYY will not be adopted, the month must be spelled out so that all our users can understand the date. Suggestions that do spell out the date are what we are looking for atm. VeryGreatFrog (talk) 22:12, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
