Template:DateFormatSpecifiers

Format specifier for the date. Month and weekday names will be localized. For formats, see:

• http://code.google.com/p/datejs/wiki/FormatSpecifiers
• http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker/formatDate

This is a machine-readable date format string! It is used by a function to format a date. It will not be read by a human user. Do not translate each letter literally! Instead insert the date format for your language using the english-based letters.

This date MUST be formatted in the ISO 8601 format. You can localise the letters to your language or script, but you should not change the format.

If your language requires some words between the different parts of the timestamp (for example in the Galician language the words de and ás are inserted: d de MMMM de yyyy ás HH:mm) then the text needs to be put inside quotation marks so as not to taken as code by the software. In Galician this is: d "de" MMMM "de" yyyy "ás" HH:mm.
