I was wondering if it were possible to have a user accountsetting where I set the date to either mm-dd-yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy, and the dates within articles show up that way across the wiki. Some prefer one way, others prefer the other way.
Go to your preferences, click the "Date format" tab, and select your preferred format.
Always bearing in mind that this will only work for *linked* dates.
