Yes, it should be optional (as in a global variable that can be set in LocalSettings.php), imo. The default should stay at 'localized', for backwards compatibility. > I wonder whether the input of ISO8601 is accepted > (because the ISO8601 output may be given as input to another #ask > template).. > ISO should be interesting for templating (both input and output). > Dmitriy There are a number of problems I discovered during a quick check: Time zone designators are interpreted in the wrong way (try '2009-03-05T12:12:34+02:00', which should be output as '2009-03-05T10:12:34' on a Wiki that's running with UTC time and as '2009-03-05T18:12:34' on a Wiki that's running with China Standard Time timezone set). Or they cause the string to not be understood (try '2009-03-05T12:12:34+0200'). I'll try to come up with a patch that makes SMW understand more ISO8601 dates. I will only implement the (recommended) "extended format" (with hyphens / colons), not the "basic format" (without hyphens / colons). I don't know about week dates and ordinal dates yet, maybe in a second step.
