Note that the way Wikimedia's caching works, anons will only be able to see one
style of date links without significantly reducing the effectiveness of
caching. Wikimedia uses a [[Squid cache]], which means that for anonymous
users, the process to get a page from the server works something like:
1. Is the page in the cache?
a. If so, and the cache hasn't expired, return the cached version
b. Otherwise, continue
2. Start up MediaWiki to get the page
a. Is the page in the parser cache? If so, return that version
b. If not, get the text from the database and reparse
For anon users to have multiple options for date formatting, the number of
cache misses would likely rise significantly, especially at first, and the size
of the cache could potentially be multiplied by the number of formatting
options.
