Vote at "summary and votes" (approval voting - vote for as many options as you like). For discussion of how these votes should be taken in the future, see wikipedia:vote. The seven options are:
- Make [[Day Month]] [[Year]] MoS policy
- Keep [[Month Day]], [[Year]] as MoS policy
- [[Day Month]] for date titles, allow both [[Month Day]], [[Year]] and [[Day Month]] [[Year]]
- Allow both [[Month Day]], [[Year]] and [[Day Month]] [[Year]]
- Use yyyy-MM-dd RFC 3339 format internally and allow logged in users to have it reprocessed to their preferred format
- [[Month Day]] for date titles, allow both [[Month Day]], [[Year]] and [[Day Month]] [[Year]]
- Make [[Year]] [[month day]] [[UTC]] MoS policy
- Put a moratorium on the subject for at least 6 months.
- Remove dates from the Wikipedia.
- Make [[the Dayth of Month]], [[Year]] MoS policy
Note: This vote is currently declared pending. Several users have pointed out problems with the process used and the options as they are currently set up. Automatic conversion options will also have to be explored in further detail. In the meantime, the current Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers) should be used, but keep in mind that MoS is not policy, so please try to accommodate others when editing.
A new vote will possibly be set up in mid-July, unless a consensus solution can be found.
