The parameter <code>|date=</code> is intended to track the most recent month and year in which an editor or <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Bot" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Bot">bot</a> checked the article for inconsistent date formatting and, if any inconsistencies were found, fixed them to comply with this template's date formatting preference. </p><p>Wikipedia articles that use <code>d mmmm yyyy</code> dates, either because of the <a href="/wiki/MOS:DATERET" class="mw-redirect" title="MOS:DATERET">first main contributor</a> rule or <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:TIES" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:TIES">close national ties</a> (see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:MOSNUM" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:MOSNUM">MOSNUM</a>), are systematically tagged with <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a class="mw-selflink selflink">Use dmy dates</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> over time.
