Too bad I couldn't set the date for Caesar's assassination ;)

The idea is to validate dates, right? (Not with the intention of converting to a date field later.) It's for that reason that I also suggested the single-digit option for day/month. But it's easy for me to modify the RegEx myself to support that if needed.

Perhaps change year to checkboxes (to allow 2-digit and 4-digit dates in the same RegEx)

Oh god no! If I allowed that, and people used it in data forms, and in the future Wikidot support sorting by data form fields… it would be disastrously inconsistent!

Imagine the dates been ordered like so:

• 6/6/06
• 12/12/09
• 1/1/12
• 6/6/2001
• 12/12/2012

But then again, it is a RegExp wizard, the choice should be the user's not my own…

I'd like the ability to allow single-digit values for the day and month, particularly for the "Day Month Year" option.

i.e. I'd like to allow both 5/6/11 and 05/06/11 as valid dates (DD/MM/YYYY).

Other than that… excellent! :)

Edit: Perhaps change year to checkboxes (to allow 2-digit and 4-digit dates in the same RegEx) - and then do the same thing for dates/months (but with 1-2 digits instead of 2-4). Then it will be perfect :)

Personally, I like to have them with my WeetBix for breakfast.
