There should be way to perform time calculations. Maybe a input of date in seconds stored in 64bit number, so it can store dates from Noah to 2100 century. Then, the time calculations can be performed in templates. It would be a good idea to have "cross-wiki" international format such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO8601 in addition to localized formats, so the dates can be imported easily from another language wikies. Also, localized formats aren't fixed, here in Russia the same date can be displayed either as 13 Oktyabrya 2008 or 13.10.2008 so, it would be nice to be able to specify formatting in printouts, something like {{#ask:...|?Date{d.M.y}|...}} Dates are horrible thing - they use complex numerical base. I've had a pain of building a query which should return pages of memorable dates from past centuries, where only day and month should match with current one. These templates helped me a lot: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Date_computing_template many thanks to hard work of the people who had implemented these. By the way, these templates already ISO8601 compliant: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:YMD2MJD Maybe it would be nice to have compatibility with such templates.
