Since MDY and DMY date formats are being used accordingly, why not use the YMD date format as well?

Back in February, before I joined the Miraheze site, there was a RfC proposal involving use of date formats according to country of origin. The proposal was passed of course, but one date format was not brought up in that proposal: the year-month-day format used in Japan.

Given how American, Canadian, and Filipino logos and other such audiovisual things must use the MDY format (i.e. September 1, 2023) and British and Australian audiovisual things, including logos, must use the DMY format (i.e. 1 September 2023), why not require Japanese logos and what not (e.g. Studio Ghibli and Capcom) to use the YMD format (i.e. 2023 September 1)?

What are your thoughts? --AUnnamedDragon 10:21 PM, September 1, 2023 (CET)

Oppose

Oppose I believe it should be the other way around. Allowing any kind of date format to be used makes nn/nn/nn cases ambiguous, potentially causing trouble for editors and readers. I want to make it known that this serves as both a counterpoint to this and the already passed RfC; it makes no sense to oppose a third format without opposing a second format.

Comments

Given how Chloe has successfully convinced users to go back to the "Americanization" of dates (as a current RfC suggests), I'm disappointed to say that I have to withdraw this proposal. --AUnnamedDragon 2:42 PM, September 6, 2023 (CET)
