@Keith D: Looks like the change made by GKFX in April to add the "#invoke:ustring|gsub" to the date format has recently caused it to format oddly. I have reverted back to the "trim leading" template as a corrective measure. GKFX may wish to see why their edit a few months back now breaks the date format.

Many thanks for the ping. Nothing wrong with the April edit - actually I broke Module:Ustring earlier this evening (see fix) which is the cause of the problem. Lua treats the "gsub" function differently with brackets around it (in an inexplicable bit of language design!) and I accidentally removed them when trying to make it easier to use.

Thanks for the quick resolution. I didn't suggest the April edit was wrong per-se (as it's been fine since), but clearly related to the change in syntax which you note you had edited directly not long ago, so I guess there was an easy explanation. Don't worry, mistakes happen! Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:37, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the problem. I guessed it had to be a recent change, or it would have been picked up before now. Keith D (talk) 22:25, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
