Exactly! The [[06-05]] alone was taken out of

allow the ISO long format to work, and at most there will only be 366
such redirects. Multiple ways of doing things can be great, if you
keep a few things in mind.
1. Don't expect anybody else to do things your way.
2. It is grossly impolite to change anybody else's work in an
article to fit your way of doing things.
3. Make the necessary redirects or other adaptations that will
allow your way to function in a context of Wikipedia orthodoxy.
I think on dates we should be strict on a single house style. The
established formats for dates are:
[[June 6]]
[[June 6]], [[1980]]
the [[1980s]]
the [[19th century]]
It would be cleaner if all dates were edited to look like one of those.
Adding redirects to suit everyone's taste will be confusing.
You CANT redirect them all anyway, because half of them conflict with
each other...
