Date puncation rule

I use a hyphen, or period when using Day-Month-Year order because to avoid confusion between Month-Day-Year if slashes are used it’s in MM/DD/YYYY, if a hyphen or period is used it’s DD-MM-YYYY or DD.MM.YYYY --2603:6011:E02:E4D4:4879:F0AC:147C:12D5 (talk) 17:47, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The separator used makes no difference to the order. It's common to see 31/12/2020 style dates. But we tend to copy Americans a lot, so we also see 12/31/2020 style dates (especially in mastheads and movie posters).  Stepho  talk  21:53, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
