The format dd.mm.yyyy using dots (which denote ordinal numbering) is the traditional German date format, [65] and continues to be the most commonly used. In 1996, the international format yyyy-mm-dd was made the official date format in standardized contexts such as government, education, engineering and sciences.
If an article uses a template such as {{Use mdy dates}} or {{Use dmy dates}}, then Citation Style 1 and 2 templates automatically render dates (|date=, |access-date=, |archive-date=, etc) in the specified format, regardless of the format they are entered in. (The |cs1-dates= parameter can be used to fine-tune the generated output, see Template ...
<date formatting style> controls the date format in which the result is to be emitted. Recognized values for the second parameter are: DMY gives d mmmm yyyy (e.g. 31 May 2007). This is the default format. MDY gives mmmm d, yyyy (e.g. May 31, 2007) YMD gives yyyy mmmm d (e.g. 2007 May 31) ISO gives an ISO 8601 style yyyy-mm-dd (e.g. 2007-05-31)

(Several forms of piped links override the date-formatting function.) Links to date ranges in the same calendar month, such as "[[December 13–17]]" or "the night of [[30/31 May]]" cause autoformatting to fail. The autoformatting mechanism will output such dates in a damaged form: 30/May 31, etc.
Note that, according to MOS:DATEUNIFY, dates in citations can be a different format from dates in the text as long as the citation date format is consistent and follows the rules in MOS:DATEUNIFY, even when a dates template specifies a specific article style. Automated date formatting tools generally do not account for this potential difference.
Unfortunately, when linking to content about a specific date (with a separate page, a section of a page, or another anchor) the date formatting feature cannot be used for the link label, so the label is fixed, not user-dependent. When linking to another site (with an interwiki link or external link) the label cannot be user-dependent either.
