Date format in Kalmyk (xal) l10n of Mediawiki

Please set this date format: YYYY җилин MM DD {(шин)}

Legend: YYYY - year (number), MM - month (system message january-gen, february-gen, and so on), DD - day (number). The "optional" text (шин) is added if DD is from 1 to 5. Examples:

2006 җилин Лу сарин 17 means 2006-02-17
2009 җилин Мөрн сарин 3 (шин) means 2009-04-3

I guess the optional text шин is not really optional? I can do everything else, but for the шин I have to figure something out. – Nike 05:38, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes, this text is not really optional. --Хуучин 09:05, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Any progress on this? Siebrand 12:08, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Not really. I'm still pondering whether I should just ad hardcoded flag for it, or introduce syntax for conditionals. – Nike 15:46, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

How about this: we add a new flag, for examplexs. This will call message timedate-suffix with the next number. It's still a bit open for what the syntax for that message would look like.

Some proposals:

```
st|nd|rd|th|th|th|th|th....
```
```
def=th|1=fs|2=nd|3=rd|21=fs...
```
```
def=|1-3= (шин)
```

def=th|n mod 10 is 1 and n mod 100 is not 11=st|n mod 10 is 2 and n mod 100 is not 12=nd|n mod 10 is 3 and n mod 100 is not 13=rd

Comments?

Bump. I need some comments before I can go forward!

Some information regarding (шин) in Kalmyk Cyrillic. Actually:

I met this date writing in only Kalmyk-language newspaper (Хальмг Үнн) and in Kalmyk lessons.
Likely xal.wikipedia.org is only Internet site entirely done (more exact, is to be done) in Kalmyk Cyrillic.
In Mongolian edition of Mediawiki (Kalmyk is Mongolic language hence Mongolian is related. Furthermore, both of them used historically one script - Mongolian or Todo Mongolian script) I did not see (шин).

Since that, I doubt is шин really needed to be introduced into date format of software. I think YYYY җилин MM DD is enough. Хуучин 13:40, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Can you still provide information for time format and how to combine date and time?
