| Hello {{BASEPAGENAME}}. I am currently conducting a study on the dispute resolution processes on the English Misplaced Pages, in the hope that the results will help improve these processes in the future. Whether you have used dispute resolution a little or a lot, now we need to know about your experience. The survey takes around five minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist in analyzing the results of the survey. No personally identifiable information will be released. | |||

| ::::::Not at all. A default could be chosen by the community which could possibly be overridden on an article by article basis. My point is that carrying on with unlinking dates is not consistent with carrying on a good faith discussion for other options... —] • ] • ] 03:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
| *I fear that the developer's time is being wasted. The IP-sensitive route has been discussed to death and the realisation was that there's a viper's nest of technical and other issues that will never be solved. What will you do for Canada, or India, where both formats are in use, for example? Above all, you seem to be fixated on the order of the month and the day. I never saw you riling against the international date that appears after everyone's signature, nor the one at the bottom of every WP page. Do they cause nausea? ] ] 02:30, 1 November 2008 (UTC) | |||
| **First the devs wouldn't respond to you people. Now that I've gotten a devs attention you're saying it's a "waste (of time)"? Did you even '''read my messages on ]'''? I explicitly stated that we may be able to add a magic word/syntax to ''specify the time format for an article'' and use a default where no specifier is present. Others have suggested using the headers sent by a readers browser, though this may require using Javascript (since doing it on the server side might have cache issues). There are options and if you'd step back and take a breath, we might be able to move forward with something the community ''will accept''. —] • ] • ] 03:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC) | |||

Unless there was some ''other'' "key question" I missed. —] • ] • ] 02:45, 7 November 2008 (UTC) | |||

| Linking dates within <nowiki><ref></nowiki>sections, as you did is somewhat inappropriate. The proper correction is to turn a non-templated reference into a templated one. The templates have date fields, and any date issues can be dealt with automatically in the template. This also allows using the date in the template to pick the correct link in the Internet Archive if the original link goes dead. --] (]) 17:41, 3 November 2008 (UTC) | |||

| Aha. Thanks, I see that now. The script uses a built-in function that protects web references. There is a known issue with that function and it reveals itself like that occasionally. I reported it and have spent several hours trying to fix it myself but on balance, the protection of web references is still worth tolerating that issue.
