Display incorrect

In the preview of an edit I see Vorlage:Date table sorting instead of the date. the date is formatted as | 5,91<ref name="HVZ-BW" /> || {{Date table sorting|1823|08}}. Is something additionally needed? Theking2 (talk) 20:14, 28 July 2022 (UTC) Theking2 (talk) 20:14, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Theking2, that looks like an invalid date. If you fix the date, does the template work? – Jonesey95 (talk) 12:20, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's at dewiki and de:Vorlage:Date table sorting is a red link there, meaning that the template does not exist. The template works with the date as entered, but not at dewiki. Johnuniq (talk) 00:02, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Linking

Since the standard linking and the optional link=off have been removed, couldn't we at least add an optional link=on for special cases? Thanks. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 02:25, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

After reading WP:DATELINK, please give an example where link=on could be useful. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:42, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How to make date ranges sort to correct position in both ascending and descending displays?

Is there any way to make a WP:Date-range sort to the correct position in both ascending and descending displays? For example Jack Deam#Filmography that date ranges sort by the first date in the range, which gives incorrect chronological order when using date sorting to display most recent at the top. 213.18.145.207 (talk) 13:44, 5 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
