Template talk:Date table sorting

Expand the features

This template has no error checking for missing params, like day or month, and it should, since date can sort without them. It broke our Help:Sorting#Dates section, too! To convert existing tables in the DD-MM-YYYY format to something pretty, and to do it easily, it needs to be able to take the standard DD-MM-YYYY or DD-MM-YY format. In those cases, there would be no need to error check. Maybe it could just check parameter {{{1}}}, perhaps, for dashes and then directly print the full string hidden, then wikilinked, and Mediawiki will do the rest. Let me know if that part doesn't make sense. Sorry I can't figure out how to do that myself.—Wikibarista 17:16, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
