| - | Enter dates in '''d mmm yyyy''' format - case doesn't matter. WeRelate automatically transforms any date it can interpret into '''d Mmm yyyy''' format (e.g., 4 Sep 1753). It supports standard GEDCOM [[Help:Conventions/Date#Modifiers|modifiers]] (Bef, Aft, Bet/and, From/to, Cal, Abt, Est), which it automatically transforms to mixed case. Ambiguous numeric dates (e.g., 9/3/1876) aren't allowed. WeRelate supports dual dating - if you are entering dates prior to 1752 and aren't familiar with dual dating ('''d Mmm yyyy/yy'''), please read [[Help:Conventions/Date#Month number and dual dating|Month number and dual dating]]. | |

| - | Proxy dates (e.g., christening date as proxy for birth date, or probate date as proxy for death date) should '''not''' be entered in the field that they are a proxy for, but should be entered as their own fact. When a christening or burial date is used as a proxy, do '''not''' enter a birth or death date that can be derived from the proxy (e.g., Bef ''christening date''). | |
| - | | |
| - | Source citations should give the date supported by the source in case the date in the date field is changed. If a non-trivial conversion is required, the source citation should include both the date as expressed in the source and the converted date (e.g., '''6 (6) 66 [6 Aug 1666]'''). | |
