MediaWiki includes a DateInputWidget that can be used for user interfaces that require selecting a date. You can see an example of it in the interface for UploadWizard.
Example code:
// Accessing values in a DateInputWidget
var dateInput = new mw.widgets.DateInputWidget();
var $label = $( '<p>' );
$( 'body' ).append( $label, dateInput.$element );
dateInput.on( 'change', function () {
// The value will always be a valid date or empty string, malformed input is ignored
var date = dateInput.getValue();
$label.text( 'Selected date: ' + ( date || '(none)' ) );
} );
For more information, see the code documentation.
