Date style

Hi there. Please read MOS:DATEFORMAT before making more "grammar corrections". The date formats you are adding are not acceptable according to Wikipedia's Manual of Style. It would be very nice if you could undo the date format changes you've already made. Cheers. Manxruler (talk) 16:58, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Manxruler, I'm sorry about my mistake. I checked the guidelines but missed the point about the date format. Of course, I'm gonna restore the previous style. Is there a quick way to do that?

I went ahead and fixed Battle of the Falklands Islands article, so that doesn't need date fixing. What you can do, if all you did in a single edit was to change the date styles, is to click the "Undo" button for your edit in the article history. That will undo that edit. If you've done other things in the same edit, things which should be kept, then a manual edit is the only option.

Remember also to respect the established date style of articles (like the dmy or mdy format already in use in articles), which shouldn't be changed without very good reason. Cheers. Manxruler (talk) 18:55, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Linking

Please do [[icon]]s not [[icon|icons]]. Also, when legitimately piping links, it's conventional to leave the first letter of the actual article title capitalized (e.g. [[Pool (cue sports)|pool]]). Lower-casing it (e.g. [[pool (cue sports)|pool]]) serves no purpose, and it makes it harder to tell at a glance that something is a piped link. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ< 14:19, 31 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I had learned the first one in the meantime and will correct the second :)
