Template talk:Cite journal/Archive 2009 June

The {{tl|harvnb}} template (and related) seems to require the use of the year= (rather than the date=) parameter in this template in order to link correctly to the entry in the "References" section. That's fine, I can use year= , month= and day= but is there an option I'm missing here to render the display of {{tl|cite journal}} as MDY, rather than the current default of DMY? See [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Steve/Sandbox&oldid=290958611 this revision] for an example. Steve ^{T • C} 15:12, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

:I've revised the sandbox example to illustrate. While {{tl|harvnb}} needs the year, {{tl|cite journal}} etc can take either date or year. If date is provided year will be defined automagically and the CITEREF linkage will work. LeadSongDog come howl 17:31, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

::Excellent. I tried that earlier, and it didn't work, but I've only just realised that this was because of the non breaking space I had between month and day. Many thanks, Steve ^{T • C} 19:48, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
