Help:Date formatting

This tip helps you to reformat the output of dates which is by default 2011/06/27 and still keep a proper annotation for it.

Prerequisite is that you have the extension ParserFunctions installed on your wiki. There are three variants:

1) ISO-style Startdate::

→ 2011-06-27

2) US-style Insert $wgAmericanDates = true; into LocalSettings.php

→ June 27, 2011

2) German-style Startdate::

→ 27.06.2007
