- p.DateLang - matches individual languages with specific date format used bo one or more languages. All unlisted languages default to English format. Languages like "de-formal" follows regular language fallback chain and would default to German, and only if that does not exist then to English.
- p.DateFormat - Date format parameter which will be passed to {{#time:}} parser function, which are described here. It depends on the language and which parts of the date need to be displayed.
- Different forms are:
- YMDHMS = stands for YYYY:MM:DD, HH:MM:SS format or equivalent
- YMDHM = stands for YYYY:MM:DD, HH:MM format or equivalent
- YMD = stands for YYYY:MM:DD format or equivalent
- YM = stands for YYYY:MM (year-month) format or equivalent
- MD = stands for MM:DD (month-day) format or equivalent
- Y = stands for YYYY (year only) format or equivalent
