 Actually, we DO need to link day/month part of day even if it's O.S.: That's the only way the wiki is smart enough to choose between US and UK style 

 could you please elaborate? why would someone want to have a link for O.S. date? e.g. December 21 refers to "the 355th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar"; moreover, all the dates listed on this page refer to the N.S. (Gregorian) dates.   

 : Sure. We do this not to get the (irrelevant) link, but because of a side effect. In their Preferences, a user can indicate their preferred style of date formatting. It's only smart enough to do this if the month/day part is wikified. Sometimes, as in this case, annoying, but a long-established approach to the problem. There should probably be a better way to do this, but no one has come up with one, and I could hardly argue that it would be a particularly high priority for the developers.   |
