@Abductive, is there a particular thing you were looking at that made you choose DMY to standardize? The article seemed to me like it mostly used MDY. Remsense ‥ 论 09:46, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, change it as you see fit. I took a stab at mdy, should be okay now. Abductive (reasoning) 09:52, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks MDY seems to be the original per Diff/129316, so I think I'll take the plunge and set it formally to {{Use mdy dates}}. Remsense ‥ 论 09:55, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
