the timestamp.

error message suggests new |archive-date= value in an appropriate format specified by <df>. <df> is either
|df= or cfg.global_df in that order. If <df> is nil, suggested date has format from |archive-date=. There is
a caveat: when |df=dmy or |df=mdy, the reformatter leaves |access-date= and |archive-date= formats as they are.
The error message suggested date is passed to the formatter as YYYY-MM-DD so when |df=dmy or |df=mdy, the format
is not changed.
