Is there a way to change how Citoid locally handles date formatting when you automatically add a citation from an URL? By now it adds ISO 8601 dates (YY-MM-DD), but the Portuguese Manual of Style recommends that dates should follow "dia de mês de ano" (16 de dezembro de 2016).

w:en:Module:Citation/CS1 at the English Wikipedia supports this. If you've got current versions of these templates, then use |df= to set your preferred date format. You can adjust the templates to do this automatically/in all cases except when locally over-ridden.

The current pt-version does seem to support |df=, but I'm afraid if I try to correct it myself, I'll end up doing it wrong and breaking everything.

I wonder if User:He7d3r or User:Dbastro would like to look into this. Since the code exists, it'd probably be good for the Portuguese Wikipedia to make the most desirable format be the default anyway.
