You know how in templates such as nfd the date is slapped on the end? Well, it formats it as 2014-01-02. Since I don’t live in Japan, I would prefer if you could change it to say 02/01/2014 or 01.02.2014. We already can change long date formatting, so what can’t we do it with short dates?
What’s the problem? Dates are added automatically if I am right. Am I?
I’m talking about DATE FORMATTING, not TEMPLATE PROBLEMS!
nfd is a TEMPLATE and I too ain’t talking about template formatting. I am just talking about date on templates {{nfd|whatever|date=2014-01-01}} Do you see a date there? So if u put only {{nfd|whatever}} then it will automatically have that date. And no where else I find date to be noticed.

This could be easily done for some templates, but others require more advanced functions and testing (like the NFD template) so it’s not easy to make it pretty in some cases and offers very little benefit if we did to be much of a priority, I guess.
The date format is the way it is for universal adaption reasons. We’re not going to change it just to make it look more “pretty” for people who are used to the format MM/DD/YY, like I am, or DD/MM/YY. It’s non-sensical and coding it would be time-consuming.
