If a date to be formatted is provided but no style is specified, the template emits a date in "d month yyyy" format, as it appears (for example) on discussion pages. When no date is specified, then the current date is emitted with no year, either in "d month" format for formatting style DMY , or in "month d" format for formatting styles MDY ...
This is a list of countries showing past life expectancy, ranging from 1950 to 2015 in five-year periods, as estimated by the 2017 revision of the World Population Prospects database by the United Nations Population Division. Life expectancy equals the average number of years a person born in a given country is expected to live if mortality ...
Support.While I don't care much about having a user preference to make all dates into one format, something like {{#formatdate}} combined with a {{DEFAULTDATEFORMAT}} magic word to set the default for the whole page is necessary to avoid either forcing all date-handling templates to have a "dateformat" parameter on every use or forcing all date-handling templates to allow any arbitrary garbage ...
If a section title contains a link in a format such that the date formatting feature applies, the section title is user-dependent. However, for section linking this would require a link target that is correspondingly user-dependent, which does not seem possible with the current software without some special extension.
The life expectancy in some states has fallen in recent years; for example, Maine's life expectancy in 2010 was 79.1 years, and in 2018 it was 78.7 years. The Washington Post noted in November 2018 that overall life expectancy in the United States was declining although in 2018 life expectancy had a slight increase of 0.1 and bringing it to ...
If an article uses a template such as {{Use mdy dates}} or {{Use dmy dates}}, then Citation Style 1 and 2 templates automatically render dates (|date=, |access-date=, |archive-date=, etc) in the specified format, regardless of the format they are entered in. (The |cs1-dates= parameter can be used to fine-tune the generated output, see Template ...
(Several forms of piped links override the date-formatting function.) Links to date ranges in the same calendar month, such as "[[December 13–17]]" or "the night of [[30/31 May]]" cause autoformatting to fail. The autoformatting mechanism will output such dates in a damaged form: 30/May 31, etc.
When a citation style does not expect differing date formats, it is permissible to normalize publication dates to the article body text date format, and/or access/archive dates to either, with date consistency being preferred (see MOS:DATEUNIFY). This template is intended for use in articles.
