Template:Use dmy dates/doc

Usage
The purpose of this template is to allow bots to recognise that the 'dd mmm yyyy' date format has been applied to an article so tagged. The template is typically added near the top of the article. It is invisible except in edit mode. The template also adds the article to the hidden category Category:Use dmy dates.

Wikipedia articles that use dd mmm yyyy date formats, whether by application of the first main contributor rule or by virtue of close national ties are being systematically tagged with Use dmy dates to add an article to Category:Use dmy dates. See MOSNUM.

This system of tagging/categorisation is used as a status monitor of all articles that use dd mmm yyyy date formats, and not as a cleanup per se. Therefore, this tag should not be removed from articles without valid reason, especially when the article is consistently date-formatted.
