'Date' types don't seem to use/respond to "#-F" formatting
I'm using referata.com to host my sites, and can't seem to get the #-F formatting to have any effect. Is there a typo in the example? Here is my query:
{{#ask: [[Category:Courses]] | ?Modification date= | ?Has Liaison=Liaison | ?Has Last Editor=Last edited by | ?Is In Stage=Stage | headers=plain | sort=Modification date | order=descending | limit=300 }}
Adding "#-F [F d, y]" before the "=" in the Modification date call (or similar) has no effect.
I'd like the Modification date to be formatted differently - especially, to be able to display it in local time rather than GMT. I can do this by constructing a display template, but would rather have it done by the query itself as this page says I can!
> Adding "#-F [F d, y]" before the "=" in the Modification date call (or similar) has no effect.
{{#ask: [[Modification date::+]]
|?Modification date#-F[F d, y]=Foo
|?Modification date#-F[F d, y]
|?Modification date#-F [F d, y]= Spaces are not valid!
|headers=plain
|sort=Modification date
|order=descending
|limit=3
}}
