RFC discussion: February–March 2016
For some reason, the citation is dated June 2016, which of course hasn't happened yet. Where's the bug? --Sit comfy (talk) 08:30, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
 * It bizarrely contained a dead link, a spurious date and an incorrect title, so I redid the whole quote (untemplated). I'm going to assume this is 's problem, anyhow; here is the old revision where the bug can still be seen. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 08:38, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
 * It looks like the #time function used in does not recognize "10 June, 1713" (with a comma) as a valid date. As this is a wikitext issue there is nothing much we can do about it on this end, I'm afraid. If the date is specified as "10 June 1713", "June 10, 1713" or even "June 10 1713" the template works fine. — SMUconlaw (talk) 14:27, 26 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Hi,, do note that "10 June, 1713" (with a comma) is not accepted as a valid date by wikitext. — SMUconlaw (talk) 11:07, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Is it possible to raise an error instead of producing gibberish? DTLHS (talk) 04:08, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, I'm not sure there is any way to use wikitext and parser functions to check if a date is in the correct format. Or maybe there is, and it's beyond my current capabilities (for example, I have no idea how to use Lua). Anyone have suggestions? — SMUconlaw (talk) 11:15, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
