I have existing 'date' property data of the following format stored in my wiki:

Oct 19 1837
Jan 22 1877
etc.

Semantic mediawiki displays the Type:Date in the factbox for these
dates as follows:

19 October 1837
22 January 1877
etc.

I like this format, but it doesn't seem to work as well.

It is problematic when editing with the Form I have created for the
template, as it displays every date in the input box/dropdown/input
box (date field format) as:

31 December 1969
31 December 1969
etc.

When I update the dates to be in the format as displayed in the
factbox, i.e. 22 January 1877, the form still displays the date as 31
December 1969.

My two questions are:

Is there any way to make the form work with the existing date formats?
What is the correct format for dates to be entered?
Should I be breaking the date format down further (Day, Month, Year)?
(I suspect this might be the case, but there are many existing entries
in there...)

As always, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

John Ellingsworth
