Thread:VisualEditor/Feedback/Autofill template date field with current month and year/reply

This is a good idea. It is already implemented in the process of generating citations from URLs, where the accessdate parameter is auto-filled. I think there are a class of templates, among them refimprove, that would benefit from automated population of the date field. One question to the developers, though: would the autofill date be based on your personal time-zone setting or on the GMT standard used in time stamping edits? My thinking is that the GMT standard would be better, more consistent across editors -- so there you have a data-tangible benefit: increased consistency of date parameters.
