 > * The year/no-year checkbox is kinda arcane. If we're going to support
 this, let's make a more general set of formats, so that admins can decide
 in a more fine-grained way how they want dates to be formatted. The
 easiest way to do this would be to provide a set of hardcoded formats:
 "February 25, 2015", "February 25", "2015-02-25", etc. More complex would
 be a free-form field with swappable placeholders, akin to PHP's `date()`
 (but more user-friendly). Defaults should be sensitive to localized date
 values/WP settings.

 Can't say I understand what you mean. Could you rephrase/elaborate?

 At the moment year/no-year checkbox literally does exactly what it says on
 the tin.
 If year shows 1 Jan 2016 (based on WordPress date format), then no year
 shows 1 Jan.
