Whereas I would agree in the case of a calendar, in case of Wikidata I would think there are many historical dates.
If someone enters "12", I would assume "the year 12 AD" and not "December 2013" or "January 12th, 2013".
Also, since we show the interpretation immediately and the editor has direct feedback, it should be easy for them to add the year if that's what they meant.

while i like your arguments generally a lot, this one i find not intuitive. imo the best guess is context dependent, and most likely the context is "now", i.e. current year.

If you enter "15. Jan 2013" it will know the difference. The goal of the datatype is to understand a point in time within a given precision. 15th
of
January is not a point in time, it is a recurring date, and therefore
not in
the domain of this datatype (just as "Easter" is not, nor "Sunday").
Therefore for "15. Jan" the best guess is the month of January in the
year
15 AD (Julian calendar).

It should know the difference between "15. Jan" and "15 Jan". If the dot is submitted it is not a year its a day (15th of January https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2260)

Hi all,
continuing from last weeks data values discussion, I would like to
invite
comments on the following prototypes for understanding points of time
and
points on Earth.
http://simia.net/valueparser/time.html
http://simia.net/valueparser/coordinate.html
What it currently does not do is:
- i18n (it's in the code, but not properly exposed yet)
- enable dates like "Date of birth: 437-436 BC"
Working on both still, but I'd like to have a first round of feedback.
Happy 2013, Denny
