We have two competing MOS provisions because square-bracketing dates achieves
two unrelated effects: creating a link to the article on that date, and
formatting it according to user preferences. It's really time we separated the
syntax for this (assuming we can find a suitable solution and amenable
developers). See:

Regarding the FAC, perhaps you could link them to make the preferences work
(although it matters little and it's hardly worth an objection on FAC).
