Bug Description

It's been raised by some members of our staff that when sharing pages, the usual "Date Format: YYYY/MM/DD" is not present, which could lead to some confusion if users try to type in dates. To make the problem worse, if you do enter an incorrect date the error message ALSO does not state the correct date format.

Could the Date Format please be added to these fields or at least the error message updated?
