If i call the API for Q17127876 and the API for Q27144290 i get the dates 1983-01-01 and 1988-00-00. Both entries seem to have only the year specified. Why do they once have it look like the 1. January? --Tidoni (talk) 07:10, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Because there are different ways of inserting the date and the software does not enforce the only format. Since both dates have year precision, the other digits are unsignificant. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 09:55, 20 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
