Category:Use dmy dates

articles that use dd mm yyyy date formats, whether by application of the first main contributor rule or by virtue of close national ties to the subject belong in this category. Use  to add an article to this category. (See wikipedia:WP:MOSNUM.)

This system of tagging/categorisation is used as a status monitor of all articles that use dd mm yyyy date formats, and not as a clean-up. After being tagged, usually manually, and bearing in mind article evolution, a bot can be sent around to clean up formatting after, say, 12 months have elapsed. The bot would correct any new introductions since its last visit, and would also put or update the visit date on the template.
