Help:Date formatting
From Linux Web Expert
File:OOjs UI icon lightbulb-yellow.svg <translate> Note:</translate> This tip helps you to reformat the output of dates which is by default 2011/06/27 and still keep a proper annotation for it.
Prerequisite is that you have the extension ParserFunctions installed on your wiki. There are three variants:
1) ISO-style
[[Startdate::{{{startdate|}}}|{{#time:Y-m-d|{{{startdate}}}}}]]
→ 2011-06-27
2) US-style
Insert
$wgAmericanDates = true;
into LocalSettings.php
→ June 27, 2011
2) German-style
[[Startdate::{{{startdate|}}}|{{#time:d.m.Y|{{{startdate}}}}}]]
→ 27.06.2007
See also the result formatters for displaying results for properties of datatype "Date"Holds particular points in time.
