Why are Wikipedia templates not able to convert a date in a YMD format (e.g. 1899 July 6)[edit]

Why can't the templates able to convert YMD formats, is it because WP:DATEFORMAT is unacceptable to use 1899 July 6, is that why?

Example

{{date|1899 July 6}} should output 6 July 1899 instead it returns 1899 July 6.

{{date|1899 July 6|DMY}} should output 6 July 1899 instead it returns 1899 July 6.

{{date|1899 July 6|MDY}} should output July 6, 1899 instead it returns 1899 July 6.

{{date|1899 July 6|ISO}} should output 1899-07-06 instead it returns 1899 July 6.
