/* Add a tab called "de-iso8601" to convert yyyy-mm-dd dates to mmm dd, yyyy */

/* NOTE: This script is agressive.  It doesn't try to avoid any changes - if it finds 
         a string in "nnnn-nn-nn" format, it will attempt to convert it.  You are
         well-advised to examine the diffs closely, and to especially look for
         partially-successful conversions (i.e., "_FiXmE_..._fIxMe") and dates buried
         in URLs (e.g., ".../2007-11-05_article.html" -> ".../November 5, 2007_article.html"
         and correct them by hand!

Inspired by [[User:MJCdetroitMJCdetroit's]] Units of measure formatting and conversion tool and date formatting tool ([[User:MJCdetroit/monobook.js]])

Simply add ''importScript("User:RossPatterson/ISO8601_to_mmm_dd_yyyy.js");'' to your own monobook.js and clear the cache before it will work.
