Doing something about the ridiculous date autoformattinglinking mess   Dear Graemeyou may be interested in putting your name to or at least commenting on this new push to get the developers to create a parallel syntax that separates autoformatting and linking functions IMV it would go a long way towards fixing the untidy blueing of trivial chronological items and would probably calm the nastiness between the anti and prolinking factions in the project The proposal is to retain the existing function to reduce the risk of objection from prolinkers
