::*ISO: yyyy-mm-dd
::::::::: There is (maybe not-so-common) format (I think SAS uses it a lot): '''mmMonthyyyy''' (no leading zeros) as in (today): '''5Jul2018''' (using the 3-char English month name). I don't know if this particular format has a name. --[[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 03:03, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
:::::::::: I have to say, that is the ''weirdest'' format I ever heard of. I would have expected it to have a day in there somewhere instead of a month twice. ;) BTW, if you aren't specifying leading zeros for days or months you typically use one place-holder; so July 5, 2018 in the dmmmyyyy format would be 5Jul2018 --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 11:52, 6 July 2018 (UTC)
::Note that each format uses different separator. You should always use correct separator for each format so that people will know which format is used.
