Please don't reformat dates in templates marked df=mdy-all
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

It would be nice if this bot could check for the template parameter df=mdy-all and refrain from editing valid date values in the code in such cases, given that dates are already being displayed in the desired format. T141210 seems to indicate IABot already looks at the df parameter for other purposes.

Event Timeline

Support for df was dropped because the CS1 module automatically formats dates based on the use dmy and similar templates which now the bot also follows. Lacking that, it will format dates based on the prevalent formatting used in the wiki text.
