spork_cite_to_yyyymmdd: changes 'date = Month DD, YYYY' or 'date = DD Month YYYY' to 'date = YYYY-MM-DD' MOSNUM dates.js – a comprehensive tool maintained by User:Ohconfucius based on scripts written by User:Lightmouse which can help make all date formats (dmy and mdy) consistent, whilst removing common errors and ambiguous date formats; it ...
The format dd.mm.yyyy using dots (which denote ordinal numbering) is the traditional German date format, [65] and continues to be the most commonly used. In 1996, the international format yyyy-mm-dd was made the official date format in standardized contexts such as government, education, engineering and sciences.
<date formatting style> controls the date format in which the result is to be emitted. Recognized values for the second parameter are: DMY gives d mmmm yyyy (e.g. 31 May 2007). This is the default format. MDY gives mmmm d, yyyy (e.g. May 31, 2007) YMD gives yyyy mmmm d (e.g. 2007 May 31) ISO gives an ISO 8601 style yyyy-mm-dd (e.g. 2007-05-31)
ISO 8601 Data elements and interchange formats – Information interchange – Representation of dates and times specifies YYYY-MM-DD (the separators are optional, but only hyphens are allowed to be used), where all values are fixed length numeric, but also allows YYYY-DDD, where DDD is the ordinal number of the day within the year, e.g. 2001 ...

In communications messages, a date-time group (DTG) is a set of characters, usually in a prescribed format, used to express the year, the month, the day of the month, the hour of the day, the minute of the hour, and the time zone, if different from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
The year-month-day order, such as the ISO 8601 "YYYY-MM-DD" notation is popular in computer applications because it reduces the amount of code needed to resolve and compute dates. It is also commonly used in software cases where there are many separately dated items, such as documents or media, because sorting alphanumerically will ...
