In this edit, I ran the script using "ALL dates to mdy" and dates like "17th, March, 2016" are changed to "17th, March 2016", only removing the second comma. The correct output should be "March 17, 2016".
Do not use * to indicate born; use b. only where space is limited, e.g., in tables and infoboxes; use either born or b. consistently in any given table column. Where birthdate is unknown: John Smith (died May 1, 1622) or John Smith (died 1622) Do not use † to indicate died; use d. only where space is limited, with consistency within any given ...
Option two: we change autoformatting to put a second comma after the year in American style dates. The problem with that option is that it will result in double punctuation after the year in many instances (for example, if the date is at the end of a sentence).
For example, if you're simply writing the (I'm making this example up) "Date state entered the Union:" value in a table or template, you want it to say "January 3, 1800" and not "January 3, 1800," (which an automatic, software-inserted comma would do.) Furthermore, for example, dates used as adjectives do not get comma's after them: "The ...
From some sites other than Wikipedia, if we want to link to general content about a year, month or day, we may want to link to Wikipedia instead of to an internal page. Linking a date to date content is not only useful for accessing that content, but also for the backlink: to find pages linking to a particular year, month or day.
It would save a lot of the which-order-do-we-put-it-in argument, if the <date formatting style> parameter be omitted. Consider: whether I use {{date|15 August 2009}} , {{date|August 15, 2009}} or {{date|2009-08-15}} these are all displayed the same, ie 15 August 2009, 15 August 2009 or 15 August 2009 - I personally see 15 August 2009, but you ...
On 5 January 1975, the 12-bit field that had been used for dates in the TOPS-10 operating system for DEC PDP-10 computers overflowed, in a bug known as "DATE75". The field value was calculated by taking the number of years since 1964, multiplying by 12, adding the number of months since January, multiplying by 31, and adding the number of days since the start of the month; putting 2 12 − 1 ...
Python The use of the triple-quotes to comment-out lines of source, does not actually form a comment. [ 19 ] The enclosed text becomes a string literal, which Python usually ignores (except when it is the first statement in the body of a module, class or function; see docstring ).
